Rules question. Are the stat highlights fixed in Monsterhearts?

1. At the start of each session the highlights change I believe.

2. Short Form: Yes you can change them.

   Long Form: gimme a sec

3. Boom.

   Page 14, third paragraph.

   (Yes, you do re-highlight)

   🙂

4. Does it actually say that? Am I just completely blind to that page? 

5. Same here, Tim. The mentioned section doesn’t say anything about sessions (first or otherwise) and it exists firmly in the chapter called Character Generation.

6. I think we can all agree that this was intended to be done right? 

   If you want an officially working answer then just write a loveletter instructing everyone to highlight anew in the beginning of the session

   Loveletters are not mentioned in Monsterhearts… 

7. It’s… right there, where Jackson said it was. “At the start of subsequent sessions, choose highlighted stats again.”

8. Ok, we clearly don’t have the same book but hey, if one edition has that, I am satisfied. Thank you all!

9. Weird! I didn’t even know there were different editions with changes significant enough that page numbers wouldn’t reference the same thing. It’s right at the end of the section on highlighting stats the first time.

10. Oh goodness! Péter Czigány, what does your page 14 look like? I didn’t know there were different editions!

11. I’d also go back to the spirit of highlighting, which is to let the GM and other players express what aspects of each character they want to see. If everyone were highlighted the same each session, it would lead to flatter character development.

12. (Also mine doesn’t have a chapter called “Character Generation,” but one called “Creating Characters” which starts on page 7 & goes to page 15…)

13. Sorry, Creating Characters it is, p.7-15. This is a mystery.

14. Quick! Post a photo of your page 14!

15. Posting a photo for me is a ridiculous multi-step process….
