I have a question and would like you to share some MC advice or good play experiences.

How do you make moves as the MC to take advantage of PCs’ Conditions?

Ideas, tips, and examples from actual games would all be great to hear.

Do you just use Conditions to inspire particular moves and actions on behalf of people around the PC? Or do you sometimes change the way you apply any of the mechanics, as well?

The original Monsterhearts suggested that taking advantage of Conditions could put an NPC at Advantage, but Monsterhearts 2 has removed that whole chapter, leaving it only for String use.

What’s your take? How do you best take advantage of PCs’ Conditions?

Tomorrow will be my first time running M<3s (going with 2 because I wanna try it!!) and I couldn't be more excited.

Tomorrow will be my first time running M<3s (going with 2 because I wanna try it!!) and I couldn't be more excited. For reference, I've got a Ghost, Hollow, and Witch. Everyone except for me are newbies to the game (and PbtA for that matter). Any first time MC or player tips? Good questions for the seating chart? Ways of pulling what seem to be a rather passive trio of Skins into the thick of things? Or anything else you think might be helpful!

Tonight I’m running Monsterhearts with some friends. I drew their characters ! It’s easy to guess their skins ^^

One of the character is an Infernal, named Innocent 🙂 , and I have a question on the Sex Move when used with a side character. The sex move says that the Infernal’s Dark Power gains a string on the side character, but normally a side characters can’t have strings on another side character. So what happen ? Nothing ? Or I just play the side character now under the power of the Dark Power ?
