About to start work on a Promethean playbook.
About to start work on a Promethean playbook. That is, the US analogue to Frankenstein’s monster. Nothing in yet, but I figured I’d open it up to discussion, thoughts, suggestions, expectations, etc. Will be drawing most directly from the original novel, the original film trilogy (Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein, Son of Frankenstein), China Mieville’s Bas Lag series (for the remade), Franc Roddam’s film The Bride , Showtime’s Penny Dreadful series.
Aiming for a blend of body horror and lo-fi scifi (Frankenstein was the first true scifi novel after all). Let me know you what you think and what you want to see.
Is there an ETA for the playtest docs?
Is there an ETA for the playtest docs? Just curious as I’m pretty hyped to look it over for the playtest this weekend.
Andrew Medeiros, I’ve lost the KS. Is there any chance to contribute as a late backer?

Having read the archetypes now, I’m mulling them over a bit.
Having read the archetypes now, I’m mulling them over a bit. I watched Blade a few weeks ago (don’t judge me) and I like how nicely Whistler can be mapped out with archetypes – he’s a Hunter who advanced and became a Veteran.
Finally got a chance to read the play books today.
Finally got a chance to read the play books today. Corruption is a really, really great idea. Adding that cycle along with XP makes for some intriguing game play, especially considering some archetypes can’t retire to safety. There’s a lot to chew on there. Gonna muddle it over a bit but I’m really digging it so far.
I’m running two slots of an Urban Shadows one-shot at ConBravo! later in July.

The Death of Summer
The city bakes under the relentless sun, pavement cracked like parched lips, streets awash in heat-shimmering mirage. The solstice has passed, yet the days still seem to grow longer. The gates to the Summer Queen’s palace have been barred and prayers for rain go unanswered. Even the night offers no succor as the urban jungle gives up its heat beneath the bleached eye of the moon.
Mortals sweat, huddled in their homes, trusting to faltering technology. Those in power may not yet feel the dryness in their throats but the signs of great calamity are there. The wild run rampant, driven almost to terror by this misalignment of the wheel of seasons. And those that prefer the dark… well, what shadows will remain when all shelter is burned away?
Come, save your city… or revel as it burns.
Question, when folks are running Urban Shadows, are they running off of the sneak peak and the updated Basic Moves…
Question, when folks are running Urban Shadows, are they running off of the sneak peak and the updated Basic Moves from the Kickstarter comments or is there a more substantial beta available somewhere?
