[QUOTE="Campbell, post: 9312743, member: 16586"] I'd have to know more about what you mean. We likely have very different reads on Monsterhearts. Like Monsterhearts (from my vantage point) is not really all that much about being a monster except in the way that all teenagers can be monsters. It's much more a game about messy teen romance and dealing with cliquish high school social hierarchies. The monster part is mostly metaphor for the parts of yourself you are afraid of. Its reward systems are mostly focused on the teen romance and social hierarchy stuff. I do think there are very solid reasons to pick a different game for that sort of setting if you are not going for the awkward messy supernatural teen romance vibe and want more action-adventure stuff or even if (from a gameplay-oriented perspective) you want a more GM mediated sort of teen romance (and where you as a player had more say in your character's emotional state).
