I’m trying to setup a game to run with a few friends. I’m just wondering if the MC Sheet in Jul 11th update is the most up-to-date version available to public and if it still works well with the final versions of Basic Moves and Playbooks. Also, if there is more information on building NPCs available to the public. 

Had a great first session of Urban Shadows!

Had a great first session of Urban Shadows!  I did come up with one question, none of the four players actually checked off all four factions in the course of the session.  The session was maybe 4-5 hours long and got through a good amount of the rumors that they provided in the beginning (3 out of 4 ain’t bad).

Two players were 1 faction away (different factions missing) and the other two were 2 factions away.  I know that the beginning of the next session will make two of the players ding, but wasn’t sure if this was other people’s experience as well.  From Apocalypse World and Monsterhearts I expected slightly more advancing, but it’s highly possible the group was just playing oddly!

How often do you folks find players are advancing?

I will finally be a player in our Urban Shadows campaign, and I wanted to try out the Dragon Archetype.

It states that once the MC reveals the nature of one of your Soulmates you “Unlock the advance associated with them”.

The wording isn’t really clear, what does this mean.

 – Is this an additional advance you can take?

 –  Or do you immediately take the advance associated with the Soulmate?

So what’s the latest news for those of us who can’t read the backer-only updates on the Kickstarter? ^_^;

Rules question: Can the “A move from another archetype” advance be taken to get the Wizard’s “Channeling” AND some spells? Or would you only get Channeling, which would therefore be useless?

Hey, I have a question about the Vessel archetype.

Hey, I have a question about the Vessel archetype. There is a phrase in the playbook that says “you gain all the typical benefits from the new Instinct” . I was wondering what these benefits would be, since there are no rules written about any benefits coming from the Instincts in general (besides the mentions in the specific moves).
