I’m considering playing one of several archetypes in an upcoming US game and I was curious about other people’s experiences with the Vamp. Anyone care to share pros and cons of this archetype?

Hi everyone, the last weekend i run my first game with urban shadows.

Hi everyone, the last weekend i run my first game with urban shadows. It was a one shot to know the game and start 2 noob players.

I want to share my impressions and talk about few things.

– I did the sheets on the same day, and the proccess was too long for me we want to play for 4-4:30h and we spend 1:30h. I usually play fate or dungeon world and the character sheet is faster.

– The other thing was the debt system and the corruption system, i think that it’s awesome but you need some sessions to explore it.

– In general this is a great game, maybe i need some more examples to make combat conflicts easier or harder. I think that is a great game to play many sessions, not to play a one shot

what do you think about?

Hey guys! Reaching out again since I always get great answers from you.

Our table recently got a new addition, The Fae! Played by a good friend of mine who right away started to work with the words of the NPCs and tricking me as a roleplayer into making promises with him through roleplay (well done player!).

He took the move “Words Are Wind”–and that got me thinking: ususally the moves puts the action into the players hands, but this seemed different.

If any of you have a Fae at their table who uses this, could you please help me out on when it gets into play?

Thanks! 🙂

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Im looking for a suggestion. I want to create a resource for my players, a sort of book of monsters and items and creatures so as to compilate all the monsters and creatures we’ve seen without going out of fiction. I had the idea of making kind of like a game wiki as a resource for the players but I don’t know how to do it or which platform to use (i.e. Wikia or so) any ideas?

Hi everyone, I need some feedback on a couple of custom moves I have created for special items in my game.

The relic of the fairy is a silver sphere that contains a truth serum:

Whenever you try to make someone drink the serum roll with heart on a success you can ask any question an it must be answered truthfully. On a 7-9 choose one:

The person notices that something is off, – 1 to rolls against they for the rest of the session.

You run out if potion and can’t use it for the rest of the session.

On a failure the character notices your intentions lie and mark corruption or own them one for the trouble you created.

The other is a DIY flamethrower by some character that doesn’t have any move related to item construction. So we established that it is unstable and dangerous:

When using the flamethrower in a fight roll with mind on a success choose one:

You do 2 fire damage in an area in front of you

The enemies in the area fear the fire and you get an opportunity.

On a 7-9 choose one:

Something goes wrong and you burn your hands: take 1 penetrating fire damage

The fuel runs out.

If you fail something goes horribly wrong, the MC will decide what happens.

Missing out on the Kickstarter I read about Los Cazados.

A question about Basic Moves: I’ve only played Dungeon World before Urban Shadows, and in DW there is this catch-all move called Defy Danger that can be roll+ any attribute – the description of this move is similar to Keep Your Cool.

I found it a little weird that if my player says: I wan’t to avoid being hit by that alley trolls club, I go: “roll with spirit”. This would mean that an Oracle or a Wizard is better at avoiding tough situations than say a Vamp (because they tend to have higher spirit than Vamps).

How do you handle these situations?

I do not understand well the unleash an attack move.

I do not understand well the unleash an attack move. On a 10+ I do not get hit and on a 7-9 I can choose to be put on a bad spot instead of being hit. If I keep choosing that option I can only be damaged on a 6- which I think is a little abusive. Is the I am put on a bad spot supposed to be chosen only once until I fix the situation so I can choose it again or what?
