Inspired by some recent G+ posting around adding more variation to the starting relationships, I would like to gather suggestions for alternative backstories for the core skins. I’m not going to worry about the actual string distribution (whether you take or give strings on them).
Also, let’s not worry about critiquing other suggestions or worrying about duplicating what someone else has already suggested. Let’s get a bunch of ideas down and we can go through them later.
Kicking off with the Chosen, here are a couple of suggestions. What are yours?

I played my first game of Monsterhearts last night with Kathryn Jenkins, Dom, Ven, Robin Poole and Victoria Allin, ran by Scott Dorward. It was fairly bizarre, that’s for sure.
I’m playing the Ghoul skin. Cole Harrison used to be a decent lacrosse player till he was involved in a car crash. Rumours abound said he died that night but his dad is the local chief surgeon and evidently very good at his job as he managed to stitch Cole back together.
Cole has not been the same since, dropping out of lacrosse and becoming quite withdrawn. This didn’t stop him however from lobbing a corpse up a tree to try and hide it, raining blood down on all his class-mates.
Hugely looking forward to next week to see the next episode unfold!

Rob and I talk about what we feel is great and less-great about Monsterhearts in this podcast episode.

We close out the first season with the Ric and Rob talking about their favourite games. In this penultimate episode of Across the Table, Ric & Rob talk about Monsterhearts, the game of the messy lives of teenage monsters.

Me and Ross Cowman sit down and talk about Apocalypse World, some of our pet peeves with MCs running it poorly and tips for playing better.
Unfortunately we got cut off by technical issues before the end of the hangout. Hopefully we can do a part two, and maybe take questions from the community.
