What kinds of alternate settings have people done, and what seating charts have you used? Monsterhearts is one of my absolute favourite games but I’ve run so many one-offs that I’ve been reaching around for new scenarios. Some of the non-school seating charts we’ve tried so far include:
– metal night at the local dive bar
– who’s sitting in what cars in the convoy on its way to a techno festival
– the ferry boat taking young backpackers to a wild party island in Cambodia
– the diner in a Deep South mining town
– the Greek god Dionysis’ hedonistic party garden
I’m not dissing Monsterhearts high school focus – it’s still one of my faves – but I’m curious to hear what other things people have done.
– the bunk beds layout at summer camp!
In the Technical Difficulties MH AP “Winter Quarter 1998”, dorm room assignments for freshmen living on campus was used.
in a youth-shelter. the room-layouts were the “seating chart”.
Cabaret in Weimar era Berlin.
There is a scenario where you all wake up on a space ship…
In the most recent Roll20 video for MH2, the one shot is a senior trip to the amusement park, and the seating chart is a school bus.
I ran a short campaign where it was study abroad at sea. Whenever they made port things escalated to insanity. As for seating I had deck plans from one of those sailing ship cruise ships so seating was the berth spaces.
These are all great. I might have to borrow them sometime 🙂
