6''[[http://maskormenace.dreamwidth.org/ Mask Or Menace]]'' is a multi-fandom superhero roleplay and the sequel game to ''Roleplay/CapeAndCowl''. It takes place in an AlternateHistory where the UsefulNotes/ColdWar never ended, and at some point in the past, the first wave of imPorts arrived and changed the world.
7
8Now there's a whole new wave of imPorts, in the midst of an ongoing standoff with Russia. This won't end badly at all.

10It is hosted on Dreamwidth, and is ongoing as of 2019.

12!!''Mask Or Menace'' has examples of:
13%%* TheCape: Many superheroes in the city go this route. On the other hand, several others go in the opposite direction.
14* CelebrityParadox: Much like its predecessor, this is dealt with by having all media related to a series disappear once a character is ported in. However, this doesn't stop other, more pop-culture savvy characters like [[Series/BrooklynNineNine Rosa Diaz]] from recognizing them.
15%%* CityOfAdventure: The four Porter cities.
16* CrossoverShipping: Some in-universe, as is typical for a panfandom game. Examples include [[Series/OrphanBlack Cosima]]/[[Series/DoctorWho Clara]], who got married recently.
17%%* DeadpanSnarker: Enough to populate a small city. Or several, as it were.
18* IJustWantToBeNormal: Some imPorts would rather just keep their heads down. It's a little bit difficult considering their status as minor celebrities.
19* JumpedAtTheCall: There's a number of characters who are ''thrilled'' to be superheroes.
20* NebulousEvilOrganization: The Constellation, led by [[Franchise/StarWars Count Dooku]]. This could also fall under TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness.
21* OddFriendship: By its very nature as a panfandom game, a lot of cross-canon interactions end up leading to this.
22* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: RISE, the player run collection of good guys. While their intentions are generally for the good of the [[PlayerCharacter PCs]], their methods in the past have been questionable at best.
23* TrappedInAnotherWorld: It's a jamjar, what did you expect? [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] in cases of canon updates: the characters can go home and often do. They just don't have any choice in the matter.
