Eclipse of the Masked Continent

User summary: This somewhat confusing game uses a complex process of card play to determine outcomes. Characters are created by selecting their name, which is then numerically decomposed to determine capability. The "proper" name is followed by various other names denoting some type of attribute. An example might be "Werner Stallion von Kleinsberg, Ex-Spy, Physique, Fighter Pilot, Bitter Rival, Ex-Fiance", etc. These various names, distilled to numbers, then impact the card play. One interesting aspect of the game concerns the lack of a game master. Each session focuses on a single character; other players' characters are either absent or act only in a supporting role. Instead, the other players perform the typical game master functions for the session.
