Fast Times at Teind High

 

Welcome to the teen sex horror genre.

👻 Horrifying metaphors for adolescence!
👽 Themes of alienation and difference!
🧛 The struggle to grow up with little to no idea of what that means!
🐺 High school. In the worst possible way: high school.

If you’re interested in exploring the specific damage done to people when their past is stolen from them, this Monsterhearts game is for you. Being told that you are something new is violence, scarring away your future by hiding away your history.

Like All Who Live, We Eat Death: the Halloween TTRPG

 A couple of days ago, the Horror Writers Association posted a blogpost I wrote for its Halloween Haunts series of blogposts.  You should check it out if you're interested in:

--Queer community

--The narrative design of TTRPG mechanics

--Explorations of costume v. core identity

--TTRPGs that don't use dice or cards

--Legacies of death

--Unseating cisheterocentrism from our understanding of ancestry
