Idle thoughts for more Skins –
I love the Skins that’re available for Monsterhearts, and some of the Third Party ones I’ve seen floating around ((Topher Gerkey’s Mummy and Proxy.)) I cannot wait for the Second Skins to come out.
I was just thinking about rough ideas which I’m looking to develop.
– The Reaper – Either born into it or made a deal with death, ensuring people die the way they’re meant to, or spirits to the beyond. What happens when you know your friends are close to death, or what can come from interactions with Ghost characters.
– The Dullahan – Headless people. I was thinking something interesting to work with hats and bikers helmets. If anyone’s seen Celty from Durarara! Alternatively have a make shift head which is fine until a true form is revealed. Looking for head.
– The Sphinx – I got no further for this than the idea of Riddles and Puzzles.
– The Elemental – Pacts with Elemental spirits. Interesting dynamics and themes. Fire needs Air to live. Could be interesting.
I had a couple of others – The Dryad and The Gargoyle but they both fit in themes like The Fae or The Hollow.
Thoughts? Other ideas you’ve had but yet to write down?
I have versions of the Elemental and the Gargoyle in the pipeline, but there’s always room for multiple takes!
I like your Reaper idea. There are lots of media references to draw on, and there’s an obvious teen theme to mix in (Unwanted Responsibility). I’d love to see what you come up with for it.
I definitely can’t wait to see! Can I ask what you use to do the character sheets?
Love the Reaper idea!
The two I still want to do are the Trickster, and the Mistaken.
The Trickster is a Coyote-Loki-Puck type, with what I hope is an interesting miss mechanic.
The Mistaken (maybe The Confused, or the Envious) is a twist on the Mortal. A young person who wants to be more, and will do quite a bit to get what they want.
