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

New Paid Game: Fast Times at Teind High

In ONLY ONE WEEK, I will begin running a paid campaign of Buried Without Ceremony's wonder of a ttrpg, Monsterhearts 2.

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.

Every monster ~ vampires, werewolves, even robots ~ have hundreds of years of history that have been hidden from them. From you. And without that history, you cannot understand what you are or what you are becoming. There are simply no models for you to believe that you have a future, so what does it matter? No one ever teaches you how to be an adult. They just punish you for not having figured it out yet.

What comes of you when no one around you accepts you, or worse: when everyone except you accepts what you are?

Though often repeated by those who would have you believe they are your allies, the gaslighting of historyless newness turns you into a weapon against yourself. Even their support of you hurts, because they have convinced you to deny yourself that support.

If human you cannot be, then a monster you must become.

Seats are only $25 each (if marginalization affects your ability to pay, we will work something out, as I have a dedication to access pricing). Sign up at https://startplaying.games/adventure/cl6pmmql500010gjxd7p10yk2
