This month we're diving head-first into the messy dramas of your favorite CW shows and supernatural romances with Avery Adler's Monsterhearts 2, a game of monstrous teens and their complicated relationships. Will you be a fae, bound to follow the laws of your court, but so desperate to fit in? A werewolf, overwhelmed by instinct, and so dangerous to those you love? A vampire, out of time, trying to find your place in this modern day? Or even a mortal, always getting into danger, but so very appealing to those supernatural sorts around you? We'll create a dramatic soap opera using a simple system anyone can learn quickly that involves pulling "strings" to make other players make the sort of overly emotional mistakes teens so often make in these sorts of stories. Will our teenagers graduate with a happily ever after?

Registration for this event is required. Enrolling in one session will automatically enroll you in all following sessions. Ages 18+.
