Monsterhearts: David's Cut

My friend David ran a mean game of Monsterhearts 2, and a lot of the fun came from his houserules. David is no longer with us, but I wanted to share the fun I and the others in our group had in his games, so that part of him can live on out there forever.

This is a collection of the rules he used to amplify our experience and keep us excited and engaged week to week. They're somewhat intertwined, but I'm sure a confident MC could wrangle a section or two to stand alone if that's desired. As for what's in the book itself...

Momentum - A simple system for using your character's goals as mechanical motivation.

Drugs - An assortment of effects and prices for drugs and booze, to be used with...

Downtime, Jobs, and Money - What it says on the tin. Adds a couple forms of currency, in the form of money and Downtime. Money is pretty straightforward; Downtime is a currency you only get and spend between sessions.

Cars - Rules for having, maintaining, and customizing a car of your own.

What the Future May Hold - Another downtime and money sink, allowing players to collaborate and unlock new plot threads.
