Labels
In Masks, Labels represent how characters view themselves and their abilities. For
a Star Wars setting, we'll use these Labels:
Force: Represents how in tune the character is with the Force and their ability
to use it for guidance, defense, or influence.
Duty: Reflects the character's sense of responsibility, loyalty to causes, and
ability to inspire or command others.
Cunning: Measures the character's cleverness, strategy, and ability to
manipulate or outwit opponents.
Power: Indicates the character’s strength, combat ability, and raw destructive
force.
Hope: Reflects the character's optimism, determination, and ability to resist
despair or inspire others in dire situations.
Basic Moves
These moves are inspired by Masks but are reimagined to align with the Star Wars
universe:
Feel the Force (Roll + Force)
When you reach out with the Force to sense your surroundings or influence
someone’s emotions, roll + Force. On a 10+, you get a clear impression of what
you’re seeking and choose two. On a 7-9, choose one, but the GM tells you something
unexpected:
You learn something hidden or significant.
You calm or agitate someone nearby.
You foresee a critical event.
Lead or Inspire (Roll + Duty)
When you try to lead a group or inspire hope in others, roll + Duty. On a 10+,
they follow your plan or rally around you; choose two. On a 7-9, they hesitate, and
the GM adds a complication:
They achieve their goal without hesitation.
They push through fear or uncertainty.
They grant you a favor or support.
Strike with Precision (Roll + Cunning)
When you attack an opponent with finesse or take advantage of their weakness,
