Monsterhearts Play-by-Post: High School Horror Show
Powered by the Apocalypse RPG, MonsterHearts 2 | Campaign
About the adventure
Teen angst is horrifying enough. Puberty, crushes, peer pressure, trying to fit in. Add to that a craving for human blood or flesh and you got Monsterhearts, a game about the messy lives of teenagers who are secretly monsters. Navigate the horror show of high school and your own monstrosity as you try to just make it through to graduation.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
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.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Gameplay details
We will have a "session zero" where we will establish both the tone and the boundaries of the campaign as well as collaboratively build the world in which the story will take place. Any and all lines and veils will be treated with respect. And of course, the X card can be played at any time by simply typing X in chat. This will signal to me or the other player that we need to stop immediately and reassess the scene in question.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen before the official start of the campaign. Players are asked to choose a skin which they will play and character details can then be sorted out collaboratively with me the MC. There are 10 core skins plus many other homebrew skins you can find online which you can choose from.
