Has anyone run/played MH at an all-boys school or an all-girls school before? If so, how do you think the game went? Any tips or pitfalls to avoid?

Interesting. Would it be a boarding school where the students are largely separated from the outside world, or a “normal” school where they go home each day?
I’m throwing together a couple of frameworks for my Games On Demand at Big Bad Con: a school, a community, a list of skins that play to the themes suggested, and a couple of ready-to go NPCs. Maybe a custom move.
For one of them, I was thinking a single-gendered parochial boarding school.
I’ve never played or run a game in an all-girls/all-boys school or a boarding school. But off the top of my head, I would guess you’re going to have a lot more queer content in the game this way.
Be wary of your players if they are willing to pitch in and roleplay it will be great … i had one slide sideways pretty bad i called it off
Trent Boyd , It would be great if you could elaborate on what went wrong with your game.
2 players decided to create a harem with the option to rent it out … i called the game as soon as they said it
Did that happen in an all-girls/all-boys school setting Trent Boyd? Also, had the players played Monsterhearts before?
The Queen Skin could totally do that though…
I have not, but an all-boys school game is something I never knew I needed in my life until now.
Going to Big Bad Con, Kris? I’m working this idea up as a skeleton for my Games on Demand.
Of course gender is complicated and this setup would certainly allow someone whose self-understood gender is different than the one assigned to them by the conservative gender paradigm by which the school is organized. So that’s one way you could have a male character in a game set at an all-girls school or vice versa. But another way occurs to me: a character could play The Hidden as a character that is socially, but not physically present.
Alan Scott I am, actually! Do you have a specific time slot for your GoD? I might have to do my part to make this a reality.
I’m scheduled to run two GOD slots, one on Saturday night and one on Sunday morning. Plan is to have a couple of different scenario skeletons ready to go for either Masks or MonsterHearts and let players pick.
