Description:

At the gravesite of a stormy age of wizardry stirs the promise of another
war....  Kendros, built upon the bones of the City of Wizards, has settled
into an uneasy peace under the rule of a faded duke.  But the duke has
succumbed at last to his sickness, and the regent who now holds power
shows little signs of letting it pass out of his hands.  Instead he uses
it to threaten an ancient, hidden race seeking to claim its heritage.  But
now the Festival of Masks draws near: a night when nothing is forbidden,
when everyone dons another face and becomes a stranger, when even those
who are not quite men might move within the walls of Kendros.

BENEATH THEIR MASKS is a roleplaying game played through email, set in a
fantasy world and played in freeform style -- that is, no dice or other
random events, just good old-fashioned storytelling.
