So even though they are seperate games, done by different teams, I like to think of Urban Shadows as Monsterhearts all grown up. A lot of the playbooks appear in both (Infernal is Tainted, Witch becomes Wizard, Ghost becomes Spectre, the mortal most directly correlates with Aware, but could easily turn to any of the mortal archetypes, Chosen could become Hunter etc), so I sometimes thought that Urban Shadows is what happens when those Monsterheart teens had to graduate.
So I wondered, has anyone ever done an Urban Shadows game, where they or someone else was playing a grown up version of their Monsterhearts character? How different were they, not mechanics wise, but personality? What happened to them in the interval since high school?
If I ever got to play in another Urban Shadows game, I’d like to explore what happened to my Infernal Byron from Monsterhearts when he left high school. Is he still a servant to his old master Bertha the Butcher, or did he swear himself to someone much worse? Is he on the run from the police for all the murder he ‘probably’ committed? Did he ever reunite with his mother, or kill his abusive father?
