What is it about?
Monsterhearts 2 places its protagonists between adolescent conflict and their monstrous nature. Stories explore relationships, desire, marginalization, and difficult choices. Different skins embody types of monsters and personal tensions. Avery Alder’s website provides sheets and supporting material for both editions, while the second edition remains a distinct publication.
