For the next games cycle I intend to run Urban Shadows, a dark urban fantasy game that uses the Apocalypse World system. It’s a world that is shades of grey, where everything has a price and there are no easy outs.
The players will have the opportunity to play humans touched by the supernatural world, psychics, monster hunters, wizards, or even a supernatural creature themselves, all stuck in a web of debt and obligations.
The basic framework of the game is, loosely, roll 2d6 and add a stat (-3 to +3). Generally 6 or less is a failure that creates a complication, 7-9 brings a success at a cost and 10+ is a complete success. In this system while you might not always succeed the story will always be pushed forward or into new directions.
I’m sure some will have heard of the game before but if anyone wants more details please let me know.
The City Hungers. Will You Feed It? The streets bleed shadows as the supernatural politics of the city threaten to swallow you whole. Will you die a hero—a savior for those who have never had enough—or live long enough to become the villain? Will you fight the darkness…or give in for power?
The choice is yours.
