Had a super fun session of the Urban Shadows RPG last night. Check it out if you’re interested in seeing how it plays. I know I found it to be very rewarding.

Thanks to Glenn Tally Aaron Friesen Steve Moore and Stewart Wyatt for a very fun playtest session of Urban Shadows last night. I had a really good time as your MC and found the genre exciting to play in. I think I may have found a new favourite. 🙂

As always, I welcome any insights or feedbacks from the players or viewers. I want to make this the best game I can, and I need your help to do so!

Had to change the name of the rpg. Found out there is already a Dark Streets rpg out there. Ooops.

So for now we’re going with Urban Shadows. If you think you have a better title I am all ears. Thanks!

I have the Hallowed finished and thanks to Matt Strickling, I found and corrected quite a few little grammatical errors. The document is nearly playtest ready. Next will be tackling a chapter describing the basic moves in more detail and outlining how harm, healing, stun and stable all function within the game. Woot!

Ok folks, for those following along. I added in two playbooks which brings me up to 8 1/2. I still have yet to flush out the Hallowed so that’s the 1/2. 🙂

I added in an additional +1 stat advance and the “join a group” advancement to the 5+ list. I think that it would be better to have that come about with a few advances first. I’ve seen a character take it with his first advance in Monsterhearts and I found it rather jarring.

So yea, introducing The Hunter playbook. Based on mortal combatants of the supernaturals. Inspired by Sam and Dean Winchester and Buffy Summers. Me likey!

and The Tainted, a half-human/half-demon with all sorts of demonic and contractual based moves. Inspired by Dante from the Devil May Cry video games.

Feedback will be greatly appreciated.

I’m working on The Aware and The Expert this week, the two mortal playbooks, and I am struggling with ideas for corruption moves for these playbooks. Do you feel the corruption mechanic applies to these playbooks or should I find a variant for them? If you like corruption tagged to these playbooks, do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

So I revamped (get it? vamp-ed?) the basic moves and added a bunch of polish to the currently completed playbooks. Would love to hear your thoughts, totally excited about this game!
