I had a really great time running a game of #monsterhearts2 and also I'm now dead from a) running a game and b) overstimulation
I had a really great time running a game of #monsterhearts2 and also I'm now dead from a) running a game and b) overstimulation
eyyy, so far I've done:
✓ eat breakfast
✓ have therapy
✓ Blanket Time™ with Midna
✓ get dressed
- stay home until cannabis is delivered
- go to The People's Coffee to work on #writing stuff/character sketches for my #monsterhearts2 one-shot this weekend
I've actually done a little bit of character work for the game: writing lists of simple, divisive motivations for side characters. I still want to: finish the list of names, come up with scene location ideas, and maybe flesh out one or two scene ideas in case my players are shy about starting the game
Monsterhearts is like a nice halfway point between, say, D&D and the DMless games¹ I've been facilitating, in terms of "DM" prep. like, I don't *need* to prep for hours before running a game, BUT, I find having, like, lists of names really helpful
¹ Dream Askew/Dream Apart, also by Avery Adler, and Sleepaway (by Jay Dragon) which uses the same engine as Dream Askew
#TTRPG players and GMs, what are you currently playing? What do you wish you were playing?
Currently running
- #Pathfinder 1e. Not a fan of the crunch, but it's for my wife
- Taking a short break from #MasksANewGeneration, a #PoweredByTheApocalypse #PBTA supers game but ready to dive back in to the GM seat at a moments notice
- #Trinity #Adventures game. Character creation was a headache compared to other #WOD #WorldOfDarkness games but the characters are fun
- Our #MonsterHearts2 game should be starting up again at some point
Wish I was playing
- #13thAge for the amount of say players get in world building
- #GURPS for the complete characters you get after creation, which CAN be a real chore
- #D6StarWars as it was one of the first games I played and I really like the system
- #CastlesAndCrusades #CNC for the old school style with modern sensibilities
- #VampireTheMasquerade or #VampireTheRequiem. I've got a #VTR campaign I want to run at some point, but I don't know if/when I'll get to it. A long term obsession I haven't had the chance to play in 15-20 some years at this point
- #StarTrek #LastUnicornGames. I like the way they handled life/career paths
I just realized I spent hours trying to make a good template format for #MonsterHearts2 character sheets in #Obsidian...
When my friends and I have a perfectly good system that we already use, with a shared google slides presentation.
Oh! I also have a #MonsterHearts2 session zero to get ready for tonight.
(Which might require a nap, because I'm on 4hrs of sleep again. )
I went to sleep early! I just, woke up early, too.
Going live soon on the Pocket Dragon Pub playing Monsterhearts 2 for a Pride stream! We're raising money for the National Center for Transgender Equality and the Trans Empowerment Project.
Are there any #PBTA vibe deity games? Actually, doesn't necc have to be PbtA in specific, more, relatively rules light but not (necc) diceless.
#Monsterhearts2 / #UrbanShadows vibes a plus.
Major focus on interpersonal dynamics including in mechanics.
( #CityOfMists does approach the vibe, but the focus there is on mystery, in multiple senses of the word. )
Le harcèlement scolaire c'est une vraie plaie
