7–9 Large. Enough Players to fill each Troupe many times over, and many specialists and vehicles.
10 Grand Masque. The Masque is so large that it is made up of several Masques.


How is the Masque composed? (d12)
1-4 A fairly standard composition, with the majority of its members being regular Harlequin Players.
5-7 Most of the Masque's Players are skilled pilots as well as performers, and each Troupe has far more vehicles than the average because of this.
8-9 There is an unusually large number of Shadowseers within the Masque.
10-11 Many of the Masque's Players play the role of the Death Jester.
12 For one reason or another, Solitaires are a fairly common sight within the Masque; sometimes, there are even several at a time.


Which Troupe is the most influential within the Masque? (d10)
1-3 The Troupe of Light. The Masque finds itself in the spotlight as heroes and saviours, always leading the heroic charge.
4-6 The Troupe of Twilight. The Masque's actions make little sense to the outside observer, as actions seem random, chaotic, and seemingly without reason - until each and every small act comes together to accomplish their bizarre goal.
7-9 The Troupe of Dark. The Masque is one of sinister and violent means, revelling in the fear and sorrow of their enemies, waiting in shadows until the cruelest of tricks is played on their targets.
10 The Masque's specialist actors. The specialists of the Masque are highly regarded, and the Shadowseers and Death Jesters of the Masque carry a great weight of responsibility.

1-3 The Troupe of Light. You will find few heroes and saviours within the Masque's ranks.

7-9 The Troupe of Dark. Honourable guardians and grandiose performances are a common sight. Rarely does this Masque take on subtler means.
