So, I'm running a solo game, and since hx isn't really worth much without other PCs we've thought about hacking in Strings from Monsterhearts. Here's my first draft. We're gonna run with it for the moment, but thoughts are appreciated.
When you go aggro, on a 7-9 they also give you a string; manipulate/seduce on a 7-9 give them a string, on a 10+ take a string on them.
Otherwise, when you bear your heart to others, truly, give them one string, when someone puts themselves in a position below you, take one string on them.
At the end of the session, choose one person who you've learned something about, take a string on them. If you think they've learned something about you, give them a string.
