Had a blast night running a very tweaked version of MH for a Harry Potter game with Jen Stevens, Anton Dominic, and Chris Riexax. Still takes quite a bit to balance out and alter the Sex moves, but everything else fit in nicely.
Started off introducing characters while in Daigon Alley and how we got there, what we were doing. So we RPed while we introduced characters and it was one of the best beginning sessions I have ever had.
I am also pushing forward with everyone as MCs and Players, and it worked amazing with just 4 people. We kept jumping in and adding fiction, was awesome. Not too much toe stepping, def. need the right group, but worth doing if you can.
I released a doc a few weeks ago, but it will ave been rewritten greatly by the time I release again as we playtest out some items.
This was really fun, getting the hang of everyone being players and MC’s definitely takes getting some getting used to. But we started to get a decent handle on it.
I imagine after more practice it would be like sliding gloves on and off.
Looking forward to seeing how the story progresses.
Best part for me was everyone taking turns acting as the Sorting act for each other.
That and some conflicts with a young Lucius Malfoy.
Sounds really interesting. I must have missed your last playtest doc, but I will wait to see what you have come up with after your playtests.
Look forward to your doc, I have been thinking of using FATE for Harry Potter but MH may be a better fit.
Good luck!
Gamerstable Dan It really depends on what you expect. If you are expecting the action and adventure side of HP, then it fails.
If you are expecting the being in school together, the taunting, the boasting, the flirting …. and occasionally some magic gets tossed around, then it is wonderful. I would say it is more than occasionally, but still not the focus.
Tommy Rayburn the main thing I know is it will be combat light as I want combat to feel dangerous when it actually happens, after that who knows where it might go.
Well, combat will be no different than MH. Spells are just a fictional element that uses basic Moves and your Skins moves.
I have added a few options to the Basic Moves, but mostly appropriating the fiction.
If you feel that combat works, then this may be the right track for you.
