Has anyone else seen the manga Drifting Classroom? An elementary school and its kids, teachers, and janitor get pushed into a horrifically blighted mysterious landscape, and try to survive. Not very well, because nobody has secret ninja awesomeness waiting to be unleashed. Bad thing piles on bad thing, as in the pair of images linked here.
It occurred to me last night that the same kind of vibe would make for fascinating Monsterhearts play if you did it with a high school, or a community college, or a Peace Corps or AmeriCorps project, or something like that.
Damn, I have that manga buried somewhere. It truly would be a great Simpleworld skin. I’d drop quite a bit of MH, but keep the strings and a lot of the design precepts.
