Urban Shadows RPG: Fan Made Content – Page 8 – Powered by the Apocalypse G+ Archives

John Layton and I just finished all of our existing books for our WoD add-on to Urban Shadows.

This includes: Vampire the Masquerade, Mage the Awakening, Werewolf the Forsaken, Hunter the Vigil, Orpheus and Slasher.

There are plans to add Changeling and Demon at some point …. but we have no time frame.

The only thing I am not 100% sure with is the XP system I have put in. I went with one similar to one of the variations of Dark Ages, but it may be to many things to track.

I also may make a few visual/layout tweaks (fonts and such) after US is released, to slightly match in style.

My Hunter from tonight’s one night session.

My Hunter from tonight’s one night session. She used razor wire hidden in her wrists. She also never killed anyone, but solved many problems by force. Swell game. Excited to play again soon.

Due to the inability to continue our campaign as usual we’re moving to hangout sessions.

Is there any editable sheet for archetypes that we can use?

Here is a link to some custom moves I’ve been using: https://www.tavern-keeper.com/#campaign/621/page/2276

Examples: specific moves for chasing someone down (what happens when an NPC tries to retreat) and for what happens when a PC is magically compelled (i.e., by a vampire) but can resist.

So!

So! I just threw this together tonight, because I’ve been watching Fate/stay night (Unlimited Blade Works), which is currently coming out in Japan. Realized that, hey, that’s a cool character archetype which would fit right into Urban Shadows!

Given that it’s terribly late at night, it’s probably not the greatest archetype right now, and I’d love to see more interesting options to customize the Servant.

Made another!

Made another! I should probably stop until I get around to actually pre-ordering, but my girlfriend was very eager for me to make this one for our little test run, so I ran with it. Thought I’d share it here, but as with the last one, it probably requires a lot of balancing!

Quick question regarding archetypes and their starting stats.

Quick question regarding archetypes and their starting stats. It’s come to my attention that, using the 2, 1, 0, -1 stat layout in the 1.1 book, the archetype I recently made can start with +3 Blood. While the Wolf can as well, the archetype I created thrives especially in combat, so +3 Blood from the start always seemed a little… broken? I was concerned about this when first writing it, too.

So the question is this: If I were to make the starting layout, before the free point is added, say… Blood 1, Heart 0, Mind 0, Spirit 1, is that just as balanced as Blood 2, Heart -1, Mind 0, Spirit 1? Or should I definitely stick to the format in the original group of US archetypes?

Hope I’m doing this right.

Hope I’m doing this right. And putting it in the right place. My first ever post on… any community, actually! I’m very new to Urban Shadows (as in, “I only started reading up on Apocalypse World in general as of about two and a half weeks ago”), but I got a creative itch with this lovely hack that very quickly needed scratching. So forgive me if it’s unbalanced! Feedback would also be appreciated for that reason.
