congrats!

you were the first to get within a thousand (without going over), so I declare you the winner of this fun game!

shocked? surprised? honestly, me too

I had this blog for a whole year with maybe 20 followers. then last year, one post got popular, and the number just kept...going up?

honestly I’m still not really sure what I’m doing here, but I’m glad I’m here hanging out with y’all and making weird music, because your comments/replies give me life. <3 I have never received so much love and hatred all at once, and it’s a delight

listen to your players

fling a lot of sex spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks with your players to complicate their lives

encourage as much interjection of their imaginations into the world as you can (doing the classroom exercise they talk about in the monsterhearts 2 book is really useful! basically letting your players name characters, decide what they’re like, etc gets everyone into the Teen Drama headspace)

as the DM, its nice to get deeper into RPing to help people get in character! im always ready to make myself a goof and improv a bit to let people relax into the story

with monsterhearts specifically, as the DM, respect boundaries for romance and flirtation - its a game all about budding sexuality so its interesting to see how players use sex to get what they want

try filling out this RPG consent form with everyone if you arent sure how far to go!

i put on a bunch of 1995 pop music to help us get into the zone lmao

No, thank the gods. Iowa is one place it’s not yet invaded. 

it’s something i wish i’d like Committed to early on but also i barely knew how i wanted to draw magic at all those days

Hoho thank you! My lair is such a mess but I will say with confidence that my lizard losers are hella fine 👌
