The next episode of Monsterhearts: Memories of Mercy Falls is in the Pocket-Sized Play feed. I really can’t overstate how awesome this series is. I would put this series up against literally any actual play out there. It’s that good. If you want to see what fantastic, collaborative play looks like; if you want to see what amazing Monsterhearts play looks like; if you want to get a good sense of how a very seasoned GM at the top of their game runs a table–Memories of Mercy Falls is for you.
Thanks to Fraser Simons for the amazing editing on this series, and to the players: Fraser, Lowell Francis Phillip Wessels and Kevthulhu
