My latest skin (with a lot of help from Adam Goldberg already). The Avatar. Also known as the showstopper, the MVP. Or behind their back “That entitled jerk!” Adults love the Avatar – and they need the limelight. They need to be the star of the show.

I was thinking about Carmilla (great webseries by the way) and how all the lead characters were obvious MH characters, but LaFontaine didn’t quite fit anything. So with them for inspiration I created The Mad Scientist. It’s very much a first draft right now; please tear it apart.

I’ve got a new skin – currently in the first draft. The Initiate started out life as an environmental activist – and ended up becoming someone with A Cause. It’s currently more religious than I’d intended I think; it’s intended to cover more than that.

New skin: The Banshee.
New skin: The Banshee. A control Freak of a skin – because being a control freak in Monsterhearts is really going to go well for the PC, however fun it is for the player. (I’ve also updated my Gorgon from playtesting)

I’ve done a fast and not terribly serious Hogwarts hack of *World. I think it’s playable although it needs more on the NPCs right now, and especially some version of threats. But given the spellcasting trigger above, and the fact the stats are Griffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin, I thought it was well worth sharing for entertainment. (It’s also in a very early draft right now).

I’m working on my first ever functional AW hack (as opposed to very simple reskin) – Panem et Circenses, otherwise known as The Hunger Games World. My first unusual point for *World hacks is that I think that lifepaths fit The Hunger Games much better than a class/playbook system does (although I’ve tweaked some of the lifepaths to prevent certain combos, and may need to go further). It’s designed for two modes of play at the first session – either everyone’s a Tribute (and so a kid), or you’re all part of the same faction. Only Adults (or really experienced kids) get Read A Person, but adults gain XP at half rate.
And Stress is meant to be far more important than harm – I’ve guessed at my Stress Economy that the game runs off, but that needs playtesting.

And tonight’s new skin- the Kitsune (or at least one of them – there are enough Kitsune out there to have an all Kitsune game). With that I think my run of skins has come to an end. I’ve nothing in the works right now. But I didn’t before last weekend.

New Skin: The Deep One
New Skin: The Deep One
The Deep One predates the Gorgon by a few days (both are less than a week old) – and I call it “A missing piece of queer content” because a missing aspect in my Monsterhearts experiences inspired it. I thought I’d posted it here, but apparently not.

Monsterhearts doesn’t really have any antisocial/socially phobic skins. It has awkward skins (like the Sasquatch) and dangerous skins (like the Werewolf). But I’m trying to get a skin that’s actually at some levels antisocial working here. Comments? (Link updated to version that has formatting and been modified thanks to feedback)
