Had my first game of Monsterhearts on Saturday! It was a one-shot, I was MC. Here’s a small summary.
Had my first game of Monsterhearts on Saturday! It was a one-shot, I was MC. Here’s a small summary.
PCs:
– Brad, the queen, Prom king and quarterback. He was organizing the party and had the biggest crush on Chad, a new member of the football team and a candidate for Quarterback once Brad left for college.
– Ira, the Fae, who had been adopted by a minister. His adopted parents were growing increasingly suspicious of his origin.
– Mary, the Chosen, who hangs with Aegis and Jessica, a pair of violent avenging angels, and Hans, a nerdy friend-zoned kid who helps out on reserach (and spent most of the session asking around for her)
– Cain, the Infernal, a slave to The Fallen, a creature without a name, a mocking demon. Cain joined the cult of Targashax in hopes to dislodge the Fallen as “the thing who has his soul”.
The game was set at the beach of Blackwater Lake, near Brad’s family’s cottage. It started kind of badly as Cain didn’t manage to get beer by himself (and required the help of Brad), and Mary got jumped by a cultist of Targashax, the Devourer, on a hiking trail nearby.
Some guy named Dwayne, a fellow cultist of the devourer came up to Cain and told him that tonight, both a Friday the 13th and a full moon, was the night. He had to shed the blood of a man and of a woman before midnight. He decided to follow Ira when he brought Mary to the caves near the beach for some alone time.
Brad followed Cain, called him a perv, there was an exchange of conditions and they both ended up half-leaving.The fae made the chosen promise not to hurt our infernal, in her cultist cleansing. Mary and Ira talked for a bit, had sex, were interrupted by a cultist in the shadow. The cultist tried to stab Ira in the chest but Mary deflected the knife. Cain rushed out of nowhere and tried to tackle down the cultist, rolled an 8. He would’ve run directly into the cultist’s wicked knife, but he got some help from The Fallen, who quickly got rid of the knife for him.
The cultist was revealed to be one of their highschool teachers, Mr. Greer. He hit his head on a rock and died on the spot. Ira tried to calm down Cain, who promised the fae to do “Anything you want” if he left the him in the cave alone with Mary.
While that happened, things started getting out of control outside of the cave, Brad was trying (badly) to keep his cool. Cultists were killing kids left and right. He managed to gather some of the kids back in the family cottage and armed them with his dad’s gun collection.
The session ended with both Mary and Cain failing to keep their promise to Ira, going down to 3 Harm while fighting each other, and both dying to the wrath of the scorned fae when he went Darkest. Ira collapsed the cave on himself, Mary and Cain. They never found Ira’s body.
Targashax was summoned, everyone died, except Brad, who lived by distracting the demon by feeding it Sabrina, his beard and prom queen.
Essentially, all I could ask from a Monsterhearts one-shot. I really have to play a longer campaign of this game, it’s way too awesome.
