Monsterhearts is a role-playing game about the messy lives of teenage monsters
It's about scared volatile people and what happens
when they try to get power over one another. It's about scared volatile people and what happens
when they try to get power over one another.
The game is based on the same system as Apocalypse World,
which means that no one's in control of where the story is going
and every time you reach for the dice there's messy outcomes
and the players are being asked every turn make hard choices for their characters.
Unlike Apocalypse World
the focus is on conflict between the player characters
about the kinds of betrayal and tension that build up over time.
Mechanically one of the most interesting things about the game is Strings, which
is the types of power and subtle influences you have over one another lives.
And through out the game you're going to be collecting those and you can be pulling on
those strings to try and get players do you want.
This is a game about having a lot of power but not knowing what to do with
that power, or how to meet your needs.
It draws on influences like Ginger Snaps,
Buffy the Vampireslayer,
the Twilight series, the Vampires Diaries,
and the whole genre of teen paranormal romance and teen sex dramas.
