Monsterhearts

The Good Friends of Jackson Elias - A podcast by Paul Fricker, Matthew Sanderson and Scott Dorward - Tuesdays

We’re back, a bit later than usual, and we’re finishing up our discussion of our favourite non-Lovecraftian roleplaying games. This time it’s Paul’s choice, and much to Matt’s disgust, he’s chosen Monsterhearts. Matt is unfazed by cosmic horror, bloodshed and psychological torture, but teen drama is just too much for him. Monsterhearts, in case you haven’t encountered it, is Avery Mcdaldno’s game of teenage monsters and their messy lives. If this doesn’t sound like something that would interest you (and if you’re ever been exposed to Twilight, that is an entirely sensible reaction), you may find Paul’s impassioned enthusiasm for it changes your mind. Unless you’re Matt. As mentioned, this episode took longer than usual to prepare. Most of this was editing incriminating comments made by Matt (as evidenced by all the beeps, clicks and weird noises). Paul has promised that he’s still left enough of them in for the show to be juicy.
