So I’m pretty new to Urban Shadows, I just joined a game and am playing a Hunter, and I’m just wondering what does + anchored do on a custom weapon. I can’t find it anywhere in the book.
Hi everyone!
Hi everyone! I just started playing US with a small group and we are loving it so far. I’ve DMed D&D5e for about 9 months and have played in other PbtA games before, but I’m having some issues MCing US–particularly, issues with NPCs.
I know people have posted about this in the past before, but I’m looking for a little more advice.
My NPCs are simply not powerful enough to take on my PCs (one of which is a very powerful Wolf, and another is a Tainted with a lot of corruption moves–major damage dealers!). How can I beef up my NPCs in a way that still makes them seem fair?
I’m also trying to figure out a good balance between cagey, nervous NPCs working to please their bosses and NPCs that will freely provide information. I–as a person–don’t think that people would be so forthcoming with important information if it was terribly important. Any tips on this as well?
I’m constantly working to improve my DM skills, and NPCs are a huge part of that!

The Bloodborne hack of Urban Shadows I’ve been working on for the last few months (and as a Dungeon World hack for over a year) is finally ready for alpha testing! If anyone is interested give me a shout!

Showgirl harpy. Made me mad I didn’t think of this for my Vegas UrbShad game. Don’t let this happen to you. Run a Vegas UrbShad game with a showgirl harpy. Think about it, won’t you? Thank you.

Hi, I have a question regarding distract, mislead or trick move: can it be used by players to lie to another player character? I have an idea that only debts are intended be the only way for a player to affect the other player decision making, but i may be wrong here. And if you can use this move in pc vs pc interaction, how would you do it?

Hello, I’ve been running an IRL Urban Shadows rpg for a few months now and now I’m running a one-shot in the engine for some online friends. I’m adapting it to a sci-fi setting, in a deep-space colony ship that will act as the game’s city. Has anyone else run urban shadows in a sci-fi setting before, and if they have, do you have any suggestions for doing so?
Hey.
Hey.
I look for one player to join our group and play Urban Shadows with us.
There are 4 of us now, 3 players and myself as MC.
We played some PbtA before and we look forward to playing US now.
At the moment idea is play a short campaign (6-10 sessions).
We will use Hangouts for audio and roll20 with video only. (you don’t have to be using web cam, however some of us use them as we like to see each other)
Game will be played every other week, occasionally we will play week by week to compensate for people going for holidays, so that we can keep with about 2 games a month. We will set schedule together month to month.
Game will be played on Mondays 6-9pm CET (12-3pm EST).
Are there any good AP recordings of US gameplay?
