Reposted from my Group Request thread.<br/><br/><br/>I am very interested in this game.  Anyone else heard of this game?  Anyone else at least interested in how such a mutant rpg would play out?<br/><br/>I hated the Twilight series.  This game started as a parody of such, but developed into its own subgenre of niche gaming.  I would be interested in playing or GMing this kind of game.<br/><br/>Characters I am interested in playing.<br/><br/>I would be interested in playing<strong>The Ghoul</strong>.<br/>Imagine a goth girl who finds out she has brain cancer.  She arranges a grisly suicide so she could 'live as much as life as possible' as well as dying on her terms with all of her faculties.  Something happened wrong, though, and she just woke up.  Now shes different.  She used to be a bit overweight and shy... now shes slimming down and confident.  Will she be able to pay the price for this?<br/><br/>The last two are from 'Skins for the Skinless'.<br/>I would love to play<strong>The Beast</strong>.<br/>I picture this as kind of a rip off of the colored movie 'Cat People'.  So a beautiful lithe woman who turns into a panther if she makes the 'beast with two backs' with anyone but someone within her family.  How delightful could that be?<br/><br/>I would love to play T<strong>he Creature</strong>.<br/>I picture her as on the swim team and an avid conservationist.  I even want to name her 'Madison'.  Im picturing 'Splash' with a bit of a Lovecroftian tone.  That just sounds like so much fun.<br/><br/>If I were to run this game, I would have it in an all woman's school.  All sexual interactions happening between students of at least seventeen years of age, of course.  Most of the story would be on these grounds with most interactions being between students and faculties of this uniformed catholic prep school.  There are locals around, though.  So a tryst with the hot mechanic stud down the road or something would be very possible.<br/><br/>To have a good enemy to play against, I would concider playing a<strong>Queen</strong>and three<strong> Infernals</strong>as a 'The Craft' style antagonist.  Perhaps switch or add a<strong>Witch</strong>or a<strong>Heir</strong>if such interests a player.  These would be the bullies who have banded together and now run the school.<br/><br/>My one exception for this game if I am to run it so far would be<strong>Vampires</strong>.<span class="bbc_u">I cant stand them.</span><span class="bbc_u">So overdone.</span>Ive played so much Vampire: the Masquerade and been overdosed on so much Twilight advertisements.  Like seeing a vampire sparkle in daylight... it hurts my eyes to look at it... my brain to think of it... my soul to dwell on it.  I might play them as Mooks to slaughter.  Hearing the shrill screeches vampires make when they ash is one of the few things which still makes even my jaded soul smile.<br/><br/>Let me know your ideas and if you are interested in these scenarios I have outlined or something else completely different.  Send me a PM or respond here if you want.  If I have enough interesting quality players I would run or at least join this game if given the chance.<br/><br/>Thanks for your interest and for reading this rather long thread.<br/><br/>Peace.<br/><br/>Here are some informative Wikipedia links.<br/>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monsterhearts<br/>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_World<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">***</div><br/><br/><br/>As long as the GM has the main book, the individual playbooks can be downloaded for free.  Basic concepts can be explained pretty easily.  Even the Wiki page entry on Apocalypse World Engine would outline the basic moves and such.  This is still very doable if you dont have the book.<br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">***</div><br/><br/><br/><div align="center">Added on 11/3.</div><br/>Ill be the GM.  Unless someone with experience steps up and wants to take over or help me out on it.  I think I can wrap my brain enough around it enough to give it a good run as long as everyone is okay with my set up.<br/><br/>A woman's private boarding school probably somewhere in Georgia.  This school would have some legacy rich... and some lower income scholarship students to add some blue collar and outsider elements.  I have a few characters Ill run to help populate and for my own fun.  Ill run the staff, the locals, the 'bad girl cliche', etc.  I would accept help, though, from anyone wanting to play a bad girl like the<strong>Queen</strong>for example.  Oh and no<strong>Vampires</strong>except as bad guys to kill in mass for a<strong>Chosen</strong>or something.<br/><br/>Soooo.... update so far.  Three interested respondents so far.  Thats enough to get things moving, I think.  As others see us set things up and they start looking up what 'Monsterhearts' is about, I think we will have more interest.  Its perfect for Elliquiy, I think.  There are so many plots about 'I or you are a <insert monster type> and the other of us is a regular person or other <insert monster type>... what an odd couple'.  I couldnt see why we wouldnt get more interest.<br/><br/>Now since we have some people responding here, we should ask a few questions.  Like... where are we going to put this?  Is this going to be Human?  Or NC?  I dont think we could go as far as Exotic... all the skins even the<strong>Unicorn</strong>seem to be humanoids.  I like the freedom to write about whatever we feel like... but using 'fade to black' scenes, even if we decide to limit how far things are allowed to go, we can still be true to the story but just have such scenes resolved with only cursory naration.  Besides it isnt always good to go full open... having limitations can help us focus the stories where we all feel comfortable.  I think it would work best for the tone of the game, though, if we kept things on Human.  Any thoughts?<br/><br/>Now one more thing should be mentioned, we will need to start picking 'skins' as well.  There should only be one of each kind of skin.  So there shouldnt be large groups of one group or another.  Now the only exception I could see to this is if we have an opposing member of a skin as part of the 'bad girl cliche'.  So if we wanted we could have two<strong>Witches</strong>if such was interesting.  So if something interests someone... we should start making our claims on such.  I kind of have interests in playing a<strong>Ghoul/Beast/Creature</strong>but will surrender any of these to PCs who want them, of course.  The only documents I know of are the original Monsterhearts skins, the Second Skins and Skins for the Skinless documents, as well as 'The Serpentine' single page entry.  If you want to use something else I will need a copy of the document so I will know whats going on with your character.<br/><br/>What kind of plot will we be playing?  Have you ever heard of the Georgia Guidestones?  Well, I imagine an illuminati group responsible for it.  Think the Wizarding World's Slitherin house.  They will be a collection of legacies and paternities... making up the 'bad girl cliche'.  They are trained in special classes and such in the private school which acts as thier training grounds.  Now they detect and recruit other supernaturals in the school so they can learn about and document them... being there are so few of them.  The school makes reasonable arrangements for each students 'special needs'.<br/><br/>How does all of that sound?  Let me know your thoughts.  Thanks for your interest so far in this project.
