Here is how i would run my CampMonsterhearts One-Shot:
Playbooks allowed:
All the standard playbooks but the Choosen.
If people are more experienced they can play a Selkie or Serpentine (then their family runs the camp)
All the characters are at a Summercamp. Divide them up into 2-3 cabins where they are staying. Each cabin has 6 people staying in it. (if you have more then 3 players make it 3 cabins with 4 people staying) Keep the ammount of NPCs about the same as there are characters.
Define who is sleeping where (Girls and Boys are sepperated) and name 2 more teenagers that are staying in other cabins.
Ones everyone is named, start asking leading questions about them. A few things i thought off:
To PC A: So NPCA stole your favourite bikini, how did you find this out?
To BC B: so what did you promise NPCA to steal the bikini? Why did you want it?
Who did beat you at the race yesterday? How did you react when they totally rubbed it in your face?
Who did you make out with 2 days ago? (let’s say it was NPCA)
Then ask another character how they felt NPCA! made out with them yesterday?
Kalm is the guy who can get you everything here, booze, weed, condoms, porn-magazines – what was the last thing he got for you?
PCB, you don’t have any phone reception around here, when was the last time you heard from your “girl-/boyfriend” back home?
Who do you always try to impress at the beach/pool? (depending on if there is a Selkie)
What hobby you have always gets made fun of?
Why have you still not done anything against Christyna that bully-bitch?
Where do you sneak to when you want to mastrubate in private?
Some more general questions to establish characters maybe:
What is your favourite music
What is your favourite TV-show
Did you bring your Nintendo DS with you?
Who do you miss most from back home?
Do you have a book with you?
Totally ask about if they are sleeping on the upper or lower bunkbed and how it was decided. Did they beat someone up to get the upper one?
The camp supervisors (or the 2 that are mostly on-camera) are a creepy man-woman twins.
From there i would just start painting typical summer camp scenes. Probarbly starting with 1 cabin and the people there getting the wake-up call. (if there is sleeping around at that stage then there might be a moment here where a boy is at a girl cabin (or the girls in the cabin find 2 of the girls together in bed or something like that. Both can be interesting)
Next scene, people from the other cabin going to dinner. Ask them if they have any duties they need to fulfill.
Introduce some big thing, like a competiotion or a party that night or something like that. Depending on the mood i feel at the table really
Scene at the pool/beach and preparations for the “big thing”
Depending on their plans, horrible monsterhearts shenanigans…
The big thing and what happens there. (someone for sure is DEAD!)
What do you think.
The scenes are just a general structure i could use, i will leave a lot of things open for the players to decide.
This could work with everyone at the camp being a Monster too although i would not prefer this.
It could be interesting to maybe have one or two of the other campers or staff be monsters. But this sounds really interesting, I hope to be able to play in this.
OF COURSE the camp stat are monsters. Witches probarbly. Or frankensteinian scientists…
I love this idea. I’ll take not of this to steal… err.. adapt for a future game 😉
If one player plays the Infernal, then obviously one of the adults running the camp is their “demonic sugar daddy”
