I was looking to play the Succubus skin ( http://bit.ly/1FqdUkC ) in an game and the MC posed some valid concerns about seeing it in play. I dug into the skin for what appealed to me and tried to refine it, here’s what came out.

The Djinn. The person you let in to satisfy a need, but are unprepared for the control they gain over you and what they introduce into your life. ie. The rich kid, school gossip, guy with the car, arm candy, nerd everyone copy’s from.

I’m sure it can still use some polishing so comments and suggestions are appreciated.

My latest skin (with a lot of help from Adam Goldberg already). The Avatar. Also known as the showstopper, the MVP. Or behind their back “That entitled jerk!” Adults love the Avatar – and they need the limelight. They need to be the star of the show.

Hey Guys, 

So, I’m looking to run a one-shot/potentially once a month-ish maybe series of Monsterhearts, starting this Saturday at 8pm GMT+1/WEST or otherwise known as 3pm Eastern Standard Time (for those more america centred), or 12 noon cali time. Over Roll20 and Google Hangouts (voice necessary, video optional)

Anyways yeah, looking for as many players as I can get my hands on. Treat it as a oneshot, treat it as a series, whichever, whatever. 

LETS DO THIS!

Please leave a comment at topic in the link above to receive a campaign invite.

Cheers Guys!

Tell your friends, tell your enemies, tell ’em all. 🙂

hasty and weak translation by me)

Cal the Selkie

– kissed the Queen, was in a fight with the Queen and got declared “weird” by the Queen

– explained fluid mechanics better then the physics teacher Mrs. Grey (by using weird selkie glyphs and experience instead of actual physics). Mrs. Grey didn’t care though

– turned on another guy by deepthroating herings

– Asked tons of questions because he doesn’t understand how to human

– Pissed of the Queen by mentioning that he want’s his pelt clothes back, by not accepting/understanding her gender role and because he mentioned that he is used to kill disabled people where he comes from 

– Took the last name of Shawn’s because he doesn’t have one of his own 

– after a lot of turning on, moved in with Shawn for the week as long as his parents aren’t there

Ray, The Queen 

– suspects the Vampire of taking drugs and blames the Selkie

– brought the drained Vampire to the nurse and made out with her on the way

– helped to safe the life of the bleeding Nurse (not knowing where these bite like wounds come from)

– threatend to expose the relationship between Douglas and the principal

– got his phone back from the Selkie (the phone has a little crown/tiara and says “QUEER”)

Lili the Vampire

– got her shirt soaking wet by being to close to the Selkie

– got her picture taken by Jaqueline, showing Lili halfnaked and in a compromising position with the Infernal

– got send to the nurse because she looked super sick (needed blood)

– Made out with the Queen when he brought her to the nurse 

– feed of the nurse and got blood all over her

– asked the Queen for help in the aftermath, saying she had no idea waht happend to the nurse

– spend the rest of the day in a way too big jacket of another student to not walk around in just a bra all day

– confronted Jackie about the picture but didn’t get much done

– stopped the infernal from her “let’s just make out in the cafeteria for everyone to see and they will stop talking about the picture” plan 

– Got told by the Infernal’s brother that the picture is no big deal

– decided to go swimming with them, to wash of the blood she still feels on herself

– gazed into the abyss to know why everyone is suddenly hot for her

– got super down of the realization and attempted to get a goth/emo outfit together to show that

Mike the Infernal

– tried to figure out what is up with the Vampire (they are besties) but didn’t made much progress

– promised Mrs. Grey to look into joining the student newspaper

– gave the Vampire her jacket so that she wouldn’t need to walk around in only a bra or wet shirt all day

– got her picture taken by Jaqueline, implying she and Vampire are more then just friends

– confronted Jackie but was more turned on by her then anything

– nearly kissed Jackie

– got pissed because the Selkie was making sweet with the guy she thought was into her brother

– got calmed down by her brother about the picture

– learned, through spooky powers, that Sharon (who is in a wheelchair) doesn’t actually need her wheelchair

– got an invitation to apply to the Columbia River Society for gifted young Scholars (they are a big deal)

– also learned that their “recruiter” Alexander actually is cheating/bribing his way into staying in the CRS because his grades aren’t good enough.

Monsterhearts makes it easy to play your character even though you don’t know who they are yet and even helps you through the mechanics to get to know them 

In our game right now I don’t really know who Lilly is yet.

(We spend the first half of the last session with creating a homeroom and doing background etc. for characters so I had only about half a session to get to know my character. That certainly also features into this)

I did however always know what I would do in a scene because the game gives me a limited number of buttons to press. You only have a few moves and all of these require you to act in a certain way. Not only that though. The other players also tell you what subset of buttons you should press this session. Highlights leave you with 5ish buttons that you get extra rewarded for pressing. So when you don’t know what to do you can just decide what button you want to press (and you have an incentive to choose specific ones) and then decide how that would look like. Through that a certain pattern of behaviour and speech emerges that will tell you what your character is like. 

(And then the singleton rule will further “limit” you after you pressed a button)

In addition to that other characters will use moves against you and you need to decide how you deal with that. Especially getting Shut Down and being turned on require you to make a decision about how your character reacts and thereby creates a little precedent in your mind. 

So when you don’t know who your character is – make moves! They will require you to decide who they are.

Monsterhearts is also better at this then let’s say Dungeon World because MH moves are mostly social in nature while DW moves are mostly physical in nature. Knowing how your Paladin kills a Fell-Unicorn tells us less about their personality (although it definitely can) then knowing how the Chosen bullies someone they turned on a scene ago.
