I’m likely going to be running short game of Monster Hearts at a new local gaming convention later this month. I’m thinking of assembling a few list of 5 skins from the core book, the limited edition skins, and Skins for the Skinless. I’m hoping to build them around themes, so that the group can pick a theme, and I can give them a pack of skins that will help the game focus on those themes (like, for example, violence might use Chosen, Fury, Ghoul, Mortal, Werewolf).
Anyone have any ideas for theme lists?
Possibly not the type of “themes” you’re looking for, but…
Tainted Love (Mortal highly recommended)
Family Pressures (Chosen, Serpentine, Heir; etc)
Mystery (Ghost highly recommended)
More than human (All “human” skins like Mortal, Neighbor, Chosen, etc.)
Scooby-Doo Gang (Shaggy = Sasquatch, Scooby = Werewolf, Daphne = Fae; Fred = Chosen, Velma = Witch. As suggestions, not that they’re the only ones that would make interesting analogs.)
I had a train of thought which got derailed, lead to the Scooby-Doo suggestion, and all traces of the more serious suggestions are gone for now.
I can use those, thanks!
