Blow the Man Down: Monsterhearts 2 Two Shot
MonsterHearts 2 | Campaign
About the adventure
A Monsterhearts 2 four episode series. One of the Small Towns I wrote a while back! Wayward Cove is a small fishing town within a sheltered bay in the cold, northeast of the United States. Lovingly nicknamed ‘WC’ or ‘Water Closet’, the smell of fish and trash pollution isn’t very attractive to the tourists, which is just fine for the insular locals. Only a few miles away from the harbor is the completely refurbished colonial neighborhood, Easter Community, where you and most everyone you know in town live. It’s too quiet and cramped around here. It smells like fish and sewage water on the snow. One wrong move and some old lady you grew up with tells your parents that “she’s worried about you”. It’s suffocating, but you can’t leave. Something happened to you when you were a child, and for as long as you can remember, you’ve been harboring a hellish secret to yourself or with your family and friends. Your people have grown to depend on you somehow because of this. For now, you keep your head down. Just try to exist or brainstorm how to get out until you can. All you need to remember... is that the people of this town know more and do more than they let on. NOTE: We will be playing university aged people. Familiarize yourself with Monsterhearts 2 and its romantic/intimate mechanics if that may be a limitation for you. Recommended Skins: - The Serpentine - The Hollow - The Infernal - The Cerberus - The Ghost - ...and you will also have free access to the Skins that I wrote! The Minotaur and the Daphnaie. https://scarydogfriend.itch.io/volatile
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Weekly on Thursdays @ 8 PM ET If you believe you'll need more time to familiarize yourself with the game, I'll have office hours in my Discord server (WIP).

Additional details
How to prepare
A webcam/video is not mandatory but I will always be using my video for your immersive experience. Please have a mic and a generally quiet background during session. We will be reading the rules together during Session 0! I do recommend you familiarize yourself with the romantic and intimate nature of Monsterhearts 2 before applying. You will only need 2D6, which you can easily ask Google to help you out with!
What I provide
I will be bringing source materials, the Discord/Google Meets room, and the musical atmosphere.
Gameplay details
I will have a Lines & Veils document for all of us to fill out anonymously during Session 0. I will specify if I need people to give me a physical or verbal indication if everyone is ready to proceed. I make strong distinctions between visual, verbal, and written content warnings. If anyone needs captions to lip read along we will use Google Meets. If there is no preference, we will use Discord for audio (video optional). The aftercare and decompression afterward can vary from talking about what everyone enjoyed about each other's playstyles or performances, hanging out until the allotted time, or just asking each other questions.

Monsterhearts 2 uses Powered by the Apocalypse. We'll be starting with Level 0 and making advancements every episode. I will provide character sheets on Google Sheets (unless there is a more accessible way to create characters per group). We'll be creating the characters altogether!
