I’m playing for my first (non-con) game of Monsterhearts on Tuesday and my skin is the Fae. Any tips, tricks, or advice for playing these characters? How do you get people into promises or play them up in game?

I remember seeing a skin someone was making where your PC had attempted suicide, but someone had come in and saved them at the last moment, i can’t remember the name, but i swear that i saw that. Does anyone have a link to where i can get it?
Hey, could someone post the “Sasquatch”skin here? I’ve searched everywhere.

So, I made my first skin, The Monkey. Please be kind with your criticism, it’s my first try. Also, I’m not a native speaker, so you might stumble over some weird English.

Who is the Monkey? Of course, the Monkey is inspired by everybody’s (well, my) favorite character from Chinese mythology: Sun Wukong. If you think about it, Sun Wukong can be pretty juvenile. He is a rebel without a cause, who defies the rule because he can, and who firmly believes in his own immortality. Okay, so the mythical monkey is pretty much immortal, but his behavior still reminds me a lot of a common condition in teenagers: Horrible stuff only happens to other people. Yeah, Greg ended up in hospital after eating some shrooms… but those are totally safe, guys!
The Monkey is the guy who calls you a chicken because you think that jumping from the balcony into the pool sounds somewhat dangerous. He is the guy who drunkenly pees on a Hell’s Angels bike and then keeps insulting the owner while you try to drag him away.
So yeah, it’s not exactly a “goth” skin, but I think it can be a pretty dynamic addition – and it’s still a very self-destructive skin, because sooner or later the Monkey will do something that costs him dearly. And he will learn he’s not immortal at all. Or even better: his friends aren’t. And it’s all his fault.
I’m taking The Monkey for a test drive right now and it’s working pretty well. We had a nice scene last session where the Monkey entered her darkest self, beat up a guy (he kept getting up, the stupid f***), hit successfully on the Vampire (typical Monsterhearts quote: “She is covered in blood… that is pretty hot.”), slept with her, took the Move “Feeding” from the Vampire, really, really wanted blood, crept stark naked on the floor on the blood trail of the guy she beat up, instead ran into the Witch, jumped his throat, hit her escape clause, because even if the Witch is a total idiot, she does kind of care about him (don’t tell him), lost her Feeding Move, because she just used it and suddenly noticed she had a) a mouth full of blood, and b) was clinging to a screaming, bleeding Witch. Of course, she vomited blood all over him while students and teachers streamed out of classrooms and dormitories to check out the noise.
Fun time. She might even have learnt something. For about two minutes.
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)

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
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)

Hello, I’ve only recently been introduced to the monster hearts’ system and I am in love with it.
Hello, I’ve only recently been introduced to the monster hearts’ system and I am in love with it. Almost instantly I wanted to make this skin, being a fan of Japanese mythology and anime. After coming up with the idea I spend waaaaay too much time trying to match the format with the MH standard, even went nuts tracking the correct font, (Yataghan.) *lol*
This is two skins that are related to each other, the Kitsune (fox demon) and the Beholden (their servant.)
I was reading the old lists and I hope the other person who was also making a Kitsune doesn’t mind me posting mine. I hope you all enjoy it!
Oh, I’ve proof read it so much that my eyes are glazing over now. I had my BF check it too. Any input on making it more concise/clear, or even some silly grammar flags will help. ^_^’
