When your girlfriend accidentally Monsterhearts: “You know… When our bodies are skin on skin I still want to pull you closer.”
Has anyone said anything in your life lately that reminded you of Monsterhearts?

My character Ajax recently switched skins to the Unhained and in the very first session, her other self (Artemis) made out with Ajax’ girlfriend’s brother, threw a girl into a lake, brutalised the Queen (going into darkest self), gave the witch funny feelings and then assaulted Ajax’ girlfriend (breaking her out of her darkest self).
Afterwards, Ajax got real jealous, because despite the fact that she herself is Artemis, she feels inadequate. So yeah, hurt feelings all around.
Teenagery is one hell of a drug, man.
Has anyone on here seen Nina Forever?
Has anyone on here seen Nina Forever? Total Monsterhearts movie. The ghost of a young woman reappears whenever her boyfriend and his new lover have sex. Nina, the ghost, isn’t convinced that being dead means they’re broken up. Great film.

Hey, friends who like Monsterhearts!
For months, I’ve been considering the idea of a revised edition of Monsterhearts. I’ll talk a little in the comments about some of the things on my to-change list, but more importantly: I’d like to gather some input about experiences of play.
I designed this survey: http://goo.gl/forms/NVP3diDfXzywR6V52
If you’ve played/MCed the game, I’d love it if you could fill it out. Doing so will probably take 10-45 minutes, depending on how diverse your play experiences are and how verbose you get.
(In a way, this is also me testing the waters for whether there’s an enthusiastic market for a second edition. More responses means more confidence about the idea of moving forward.)
It’s that time again, lovelies.

For Alec Henry, and anyone that could be interested, I finally went and complete The Doctor English translation form the original Italian.
Here is the (almost) text-only pdf, since I haven’t the possibility, right now, to layout it.
Use and share it as you wish.
It’s a small work, that I’m arrogantly proud of.
It is a skin tailored around my game style, both as MC and as a Player, and in the several field tests it had, it worked both in my hands and others’ to the desired effects.
If you try it, let me know how it worked for you. I’m always happy to have feedback.

When I first read Vampire Dairies premise, I thought it was something boring, but after I tried to watch if five seasons later, I grew to like it a lot. Teenage drama and romance can be surprisingly compelling and emotional. But I digress.
Monsterhearts interested me instantly, I’ve heard about it.
So, I have a question, is there a playbook that represent/mirror/draw it’s inspiration from asexuality, demisexuality, aromanticism? Because, if anything can make teenage drama even more confusing, it’s someone, who ignores every rule and trips every wire without noticing it.
Imagine growing up, as you do, with your usual hobbies, friends and routines, but everyone is changing around you. You might not even notice it. At first, or at all. You change as well, of course, but your change is subtle, you might not even see it as a change. Everyone else is different. You might think of yourself, as the only sane (hu)man around.
You may think, that you see the world for what is, yet in other’s eyes – you’re the one blind. Child? Innocent? Alien? You are in middle of dangerous game, yet not aware of it. You don’t play. You don’t know, what the rules are and can’t even comprehend, when exlplicitly told of them.
When you do have relationships, you think of them as friendships, though, there can be different kinds of friendships for you. Sometimes, you don’t even know, what those relationships exactly are aside from knowing, what they aren’t.

I recall playing a game of Monsterhearts where the MC (may have been Richard Williams) had a Google doc with setup questions to help build up the town and school, is there a link to that available?
EDIT: I have since been linked copies of the Town and School questions sheets by Richard Rogers (thanks Rich!), but I’d still like to hear back from Richard Williams to see if he’s willing to let us post them in our shared Play Aids folder for the Gauntlet Hangouts community?
