It’s been a while since I’ve worked on this but here is my latest version The Awakened, who is the kid that wants to grow up too fast and rails against the limitations of their body and society, not understanding that the laws and such in place are really there for their protection. I should maybe do more with that last part. Anyway, I’d love to hear what you think- what you like, what you don’t like, what you might wanna see- or how it goes if you playtest!

The problem with custom Monsterhearts skins is when they start with a monster and then retrofit a teenage problem into it. Start with the problem and then find a monster that fits that theme. Right? Wrong?

A few Indiemeeters where talking about what skin we ourselves would have been as teenagers, and one person said “There really should be a Buzzfeed quiz for this…” and now there is! Do give it a whirl and share.

After reading Rivers of London (not particularly MH, but very distinctive urban fantasy) I can’t help but ask if someone’s come up with a “Location Spirit” skin? Like, The Kami or something? (although to be fair, The Selkie is a pretty close match to the river spirits in the book)

Workshopping welcomed, and needed.

The Stranger was previously the Shadow, with elements that have now been split into a separate Skin, the Loser. What both have in common is that I wanted to create a Skin where the player could act as a Big Bad to the Chosen’s Buffy– the cultural/institutional abuse of the Stranger, the caustic self-destructiveness of the Loser. I don’t think the experiment ultimately succeeded, as both Skins end up being pretty vague in terms of what kind of monsters they are. The moves could be more metaphorical, too, although I do think they lead to interesting situations in play.

The mad scientist Skin has been attempted a few times, and this is my stab at it.

After play testing this skin for a couple of weeks, and developing it for even a longer period of time.

I reveal to you ‘The Ice Queen’. I hope you guys enjoy the skin, if you have anything to say about it just comment down below 🙂

Hey guys, love Monsterhearts but it’s been pretty difficult for me to find players in my area.

Hey guys, love Monsterhearts but it’s been pretty difficult for me to find players in my area. Anyone interested in starting up a game on hangouts? I’d be happy to either run or play, and can make time any day of the week.

So our attempt to run this tonight went bust, only ended up with two PCs that could play.

So our attempt to run this tonight went bust, only ended up with two PCs that could play. Are trying for Friday, September 19th and looking for 1-2 more players who could do four consecutive Fridays for this game. Going to push aside the classroom set up for something a little more provocative.

Four consecutive Fridays. A story of adolescent horror in the digital age. More to come on playbook options after I read through the latest Second Skins additions.
