The Freshman: A Monsterhearts 2 Skin

Being a teenager sucks. Your parents think you’re still a little kid. Your teachers want you to grow up. It’s impossible to tell from one day to the next if someone’s a friend or a foe. No one gets you, but they all think they know you. How can they know you when you don’t even know yourself?

Your classmates won’t let you live down a single mistake, so tread carefully, kid. You don’t want to go from fresh meat to dead meat, do you?

The Freshman is a fan Skin for Monsterhearts 2 by Avery Alder, designed for people who love playing to find out what their character might become. The Freshman will eventually graduate; after all, adolescence is all about shedding your skin.

Unformed, naïve, uncertain, and immature. The Freshman is just beginning to truly engage with the world around them, and finding out that it’s more complicated than it used to be. The Freshman is not necessarily an actual ninth grader, but they haven’t quite come into their monstrosity yet.

This Skin has not been playtested — if you use it in a game, I would love for you to come back and drop a comment about how it worked for you!
