METAPLOT AND OPEN COLLABORATION

The world of Mask or Menace is intended to be a dynamic, evolving environment where character actions have meaningful impact. We aim to accomplish this by building a setting that generates a broad range of hooks for player engagement. Other plotting options (e.g., player plot requests, reporting NPC injury, etc.) are on this page, where all comments are screened.

Players are encouraged to approach us on this page to brainstorm with other players and othewise engage with or investigate the setting! Please make sure to use the subject line to indicate what you're trying to accomplish:

Plot Brainstorming

These are open calls for collaborating on a plot idea with the mod team and other players. To open a brainstorming session, please submit a central idea or jumping off point for discussion! The team will unscreen these once we've determined viability to allow for input from other players who may be interested in developing the idea with you. In most cases, submissions involving investigation of modplot elements should be submitted like this to allow for collaborative planning.

Thanks for letting me know!

Hi, Rel! As I type up a bit of a wrap on the November mini-event and segue into future events, would you mind if I give your character a bit of a nod based partially on her investigation work? She'll basically appear in a vision. If you can get back to me quite quickly (hopefully you aren't asleep already) that would be great. Thanks, sorry for the rush!

No worries. You have my permission - hope this reaches you in time!

You're perfect, grrl! Since you seem to be up, how's this?

Most of the scene plays out the same-- the disguised woman charging through undefined space. Her hair comes sharply into focus, blonde, lit up by the energy of her mask.

Then the perspective skews, ever so slightly. A second figure edges in from the side, her back turned. She's lithe and narrow of build, her hair chestnut brown, almost orange in the sunlight, cropped short on her neck. Her fists are balled. Her voice rings out, distorted, but the words are discernible:

"It was you!"

Ooh sounds good! Sypha's hair tends to be described (in most places where I've read it) as coppery or strawberry-blonde, and she also has a Spanish accent so that might further the voice distortion; how much of that is going to be audible or not is up to you tho. I'm excited to read this.
