I learned today that James is the mayor of Tropeton.

Whatever man; just don't touch my golden statue that depicts James as a bear.
This went a little off the rails when I wasn't looking.
I look forward to the continuation of this thread dedicated primarily to James.
Amongst other things, including a hawk, chameleon, various dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, ducks and probably some other things I'm forgetting.
At the moment it's a hueg German Shepherd and a tiny Pomeranian who somehow get along famously despite one being quite capable of accidentally inhaling the other.
Never got to handle my Dad's Goliath spider, but it was pretty slow from what I remember. It's the little ones that tended to be more skittish and unpleasant.
the RNG side of thigns was kinda bullshit
I just wish there was anything to be learned out of the experience to better the future, but alas I mostly got "don't touch Skins for the Skinless despite it looking cool".
I think the issue with Monster Hearts is that some of the skins focus too much on a cool concept without figuring out how well they'll play with an actual narrative or the other players.
That, in turn, I think is down to the way MH kind of forces a set of social guidelines on the players - you're shitty teenagers, probably American, indulging in spooky drama and sexy times.
I ran a one-shot of it a while back that turned out okay, but it wasn't planned to be recorded. Second Edition recently released the "final" preview for us backers, so I might pick it up again at some point. I'd been avoiding it while 2E was in production.
I've actually been running a similarly themed game off and on like Hellboy in Monster of the Week. Though I've used creepypasta monsters as the baddies and threats.
*cough*HELLBOY*cough*
...this is relevant to my interests
Either way, a few systems you could look into is: WT Cerebus Club (its is more Victorian than WT and is a bit more suited to the CH feels), Fear Itself (and other systems) have psychic powers and you could add "bonus points" for super powers.
Another big question you need to answer is "Why Superheros and not just Heros?"
