Started a new short campaign of Urban Shadows last night. Had two players, a Tainted and an Aware. The Tainted grew up in a catholic run orphanage and was made to believe his powers are evil and he must repent for them (oh and his biological father is also his Priest). The Aware is a local bartender who is dating a Vampire who feeds on people’s pain and misery. So a lot of unhealthy relationships out of the gate but it made for some great scenes and loads of good drama.
First session dealt with the Tainted’s best friend coming back to town, apparently he’s now a werewolf and is back in town to find the wolf who bit him, although all of this is unknown to the Tainted. They caught up and a few creepy things happened to both of them throughout the session.
The Aware was business as usual. As a bartender in the best bar in town loads of people come to her. She met a newcomer to town from Ireland who was keeping a close eye on her co-worker and friend and there seems to be some sort of family resemblance there.
So yeah, a great day in the life of session culminating in a near bloody bar brawl between the vampire boyfriend and the Tainted, with his werewolf buddy to back him up.
Good times. Looking forward to next session. It’s nice to be back in the MC seat, feels good.
Sounds fun.
Awesome.
