I think I'm going to run Monsterhearts next Sunday and Monster of the Week the Sunday after that.

Monsterhearts: First dibs for spots go to Kas, Jenny, and Rin, who are unavailable the other day. I've decided I can handle up to 8 players in this game if need be.
Monster of the Week: First dibs goes to Lyss, who's unavailable the other day. I want to keep it to about 5 players for this one.

Meggie and Marin get next pick because they want to play together. After that it'll just be first come first serve. If you haven't replied yet and can't make either of these games, don't worry! If people have enough fun and it's not too much work I might set up some kind of recurring game.

Spectators will be allowed!

Once you've decided which game you want to play in, please look at the skins for Monsterhearts and playbooks for monster of the week. Once you've decided who you want to play, message me on Discord with your skin/playbook selection and a brief concept for your character and I'll help you through character creation from there. I'm at jj#5656. These are also going to be first come first serve because I don't want duplicates, but I'll try to keep an updated list of what's taken and who's playing when on the Discord Server.

Monsterhearts players, get me your stuff ASAP! We're playing in ONE WEEK!

If you guys have any questions, let me know!

[dallaslevy]

After a lot of consideration, I think I'm going to go ahead and sit out. Since there's a lot of interest, limited spots, and I'm still being ~anxious~. ♥ But thank you for doing this, JJ! I'm sure they'll both be amazing!

Re: MORE UPDATES

[harmreduction]

obvs i won't force you to play if you're anxious about it, but there's 9 interested players right now and 10-12 available slots for players so you absolutely would not be a burden!! You can also just come spectate/hang out if you'd prefer

Re: MORE UPDATES

[pleaseloveme]

LET ME THINK ON IT FOR A LITTLE I PROMISE TO DECIDE BY TONIGHT

Re: MORE UPDATES

[strikings]

ok off this list i would like to grab The Infernal

my concept thus far is a dude who fronts a high school rock band, and sold his soul to the devil (or a thus far unspecified demon) in order to attain fame and glory. in exchange, the demon is able to channel satanic messages through the band's music. my character won battle of the bands and thinks he's hot shit but now he's forced to seduce innocent souls into liking his music

part of the infernal's backstory requires him to be indebted to three other people and so i came up with a couple of plot hooks if someone wants them? the third string i will probably give to... the dark power that he serves, oops

the occult helper is someone who aided my dumbshit character in figuring out how to summon a demon who'd take his soul. it might be that you had the supernatural knowhow to point him in the right direction, or maybe you helped him out in the school library, and maybe you also went with him to, like, a barren field and helped him draw salt circles and light candles and chant in latin, and you witnessed him sell his soul in exchange for fame. you would be one of two characters who know that my character made an infernal deal.

the band member (maybe an ex-band member?) is an old friend who was his songwriting partner and arguably the more talented of the duo. the lennon to his mccartney, if you will. you put in a lot of damn work for this band, but somehow my character became the frontman and the "cute" one and the only band member that apparently anyone wants to call up or talk to, for no discernible reason at all??? he's just gotten stupidly, inexplicably lucky and it's a little grating that you and the rest of the band have become functionally his backup dancers

WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN HAVING THEIR CHARACTER FILL ONE OF THESE? :O you'd get a string from my character for it

Re: MORE UPDATES

[pleaseloveme]

Aaaand I want The Mortal because I'm excellent at playing a dumb bitch.

SO MY CHARACTER is a guy from a very protective family who was home schooled up until this year. He's been friends with Marin's character for ages, and recently found out that his unpleasant personality change was thanks to selling his soul to satan. My guy's decided he can totally save his friend, and is going behind his back to look for a way to free him from his demonic contract. He's going to be, just... real dumb.

Re: MORE UPDATES

[sunsoutgunsout]

I'm into P MUCH ALL. I'd like to claim the Queen BUUUT if someone has their heart set on it that's cool! My second choice is Werewolf?

Re: MORE UPDATES

[strikings]

There's also The Hollow, as per Monsterhearts 2!

Re: MORE UPDATES

[unironickylorenfan]

I think I am leaning Ghost.

My concept thus far is a Famous-For-Being-Famous socialite party girl, heiress daughter of a lawn chemical company mogul, who people believe died in a tragic accident after a drug-and-alcohol bender but was actually shoved down an empty elevator shaft.

Re: MORE UPDATES

[star_boy]

disangs all of these are ridiculous, uh, I'll make a life choice soon I promise

JK can I jack Fae?

Re: MORE UPDATES

[opalescents]

Re: MORE UPDATES

[pleaseloveme]

OKAY Marin and I will join Monsterhearts. c:
