Rules question. Are the stat highlights fixed in Monsterhearts?
I have a beginner MH group and we can’t find any indication in the rules about highlights changing between sessions. We know that they change in AW, but are they fixed in MH?
Hi people
Hi people,
We are having some gang action in our AW game and I just got curious about the rules.
Question #1: In Apocalypse World, character sheets are descriptive as well say the rules. So if you dominate some lowlifes with weapons in the game proper (during a session), you can get a (statted-up) gang, right? Who stats them up? My gut feeling is that the answer in both cases is “table agreement” but I am curious if some of these are sole MC territory of whatever…
Okay, that was the easy one.
Question #2: If you get a gang from the fiction of actual play and not from experience, will it come with some custom move by the MC? Will pack alpha or leadership apply if you already have them? Otherwise, can your gang live with just your basic moves?

What are the most frequent misunderstandings or mistakes you’d seen when people used to more traditional games start playing a * World game? Also what skills do they bring to the table (honed by their particular gaming background)?
Hi people!
Hi people!
Rules question time for me! As an MC can I make the other players roll without specifying the (custom) move they’re using?
In AW, the Inside Hatchet City example front contains custom moves and a countdown. In that hyphotethical game, do you think the MC shows their personal parasite countdown and the custom moves associated with it to the other players? The first time they come into play? Ever?
tl;dr: can you make ’em roll secretly as an MC like in some versions of D&D (e. g. trapfinding and perception rolls)?
