So tonight my girlfriend is going to game her first roleplaying session. As it should, I’m sidelined and have time to think about games. They off course chose Monsterhearts and the co-players are particulary chosen by the GM.
When the Monsterhearts 2 books arrived I hade plenty to read, and come on, I’ve already read and played it plenty (for a busy guy)!
Oh, so how do you improve on a perfect game, besides clarifying and whittling on it?
The text! OMGawd! I literally couldn’t lay the book away and stayed up late! This reads beautifully! The language is fluent and the, already brilliant, game is severly improved! WOW!
…and apparently it was a blast! (They’ve just made characters, but she had a swell time – which is what counts!
I think GMs introducing new gamers are a wonderful lot, and I try to be one of them, but I wish I was clever-errh when I was younger, but I’ve always thought Monsterhearts wasn’t a gateway game.
The GM in question has introduced quite a few using Monsterhearts! <3
… it seems anyone but me can easily recognize troubled teens-stuff..?
Of course. It’s mainly Hollywood tropes. Watch Twilight, Buffy, Ginger Snaps, Mean Girls…
We’ve been playing it as well, amd its the most fun we have had in a long time
