Urban Shadows RPG: For Fun – Page 2 – Powered by the Apocalypse G+ Archives

Excited and nervous for running my first session today. Wrote this for my players…

Welcome to Honolulu! A city in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Honolulu is a travel destination for people around the world. The island of Oahu is rich with natural beauty and culture…

But beneath the tropical paradise, unbeknownst to most mortals, a darkness crashes over the city like waves on an eroding shoreline. What was once an isolated center of natural beauty is now infested with invasive species. Werewolves, vampires, wizards, and demons have come here to thrive on the magic that flows through this sacred land. They struggle with each other to seize power for themselves, and the life of the land itself fights back as a reminder that it cannot be contained.

Who are you? Why are you here? You may think you know the answers to these questions, but you have no idea what’s about to happen. How deep does the corruption of this city run? What effect will you have on this power struggle in paradise? Like it or not, we’re going to find out. You’re in it now.

Yup, I’m too anxious and excited to do anything more productive than crochet in hot pink. What I haven’t prepared before now, I will have to improvise.

Okay, the general backstory and the system in this is specifically geared toward Fate Core since that’s the community that was asking for more information. But I figured I could link it here and get y’all’s thoughts on how to run this mythology in MotW. Will likely cross post to Urban Shadows as well. Maybe Masks and Worlds of Peril. Superhero, Urban Fantasy and Modern Horror have a lot of crossover these days.

With a bit of interference, but very interesting, an urban shadows game played last night (in spanish!)

Hello Shadows of the city.

Hello Shadows of the city. I want to tell you about my latest Kickstarter project that is currently running. It’s called The Forgotten and it’s a live action roleplaying game about a group of people trying to stay alive and safe while living in a city under siege. You don’t play soldiers but regular people who never asked for what is happening to them.

You can read more about it on the KS page, but essentially the game uses different decks of cards to resolve nightly events and push different conditions onto your characters; like Wounded, Demoralized, Sick, etc. It also makes use of a soundtrack to create ambiance and acts as a time keeping mechanic.

I hope you’ll check it out and if you like what you see, please consider backing my project, sharing it with your friends on social media, or both. Thanks a million!
