The brute ability “when you investigate a mysterious object by breaking it, ask a follow up question” means:

1) ask one more question from the list

or

2) Once, you can ask a question that clarifies some details of what you have been told, like

Brute: “What memories does this candle hold”

GK: “You see a servant keeping it on the bride, lettin the wax drip in her mouth”

Brute: “Was he actin on his own? or on Bluebeard’s orders?”

So, tonight i will hold a one shot urban shadows, about 3 hours of time and 2-3 players.

So, tonight i will hold a one shot urban shadows, about 3 hours of time and 2-3 players.

I was thinking to organize it as apocalypse world one shot, by defining a half backed dynamic situation and filling it with specific archetypes.

Does anyone has advice about some interesting situation, or about how to play an urban shadows one shot?

I need psychic plants!

So, the end of my apocalypse world campaign is coming, and the characters are going towards the purple woods in order to deploy an atomic bomb there and destroy replicants, zombies and the alien hiveminds therein.

Which kind of critters, obstacles and panoramas could they find inside the forest?

I would opt more for eerie, ethereal things than for pulpyness, but everything is good!

Moreover, i need advice for two moves:

When you find a plant that has the memory and shapes of the father that abandoned you…

When you want to kill a plant with the memory and shape of your dead lover…

THE UNTAMED.

THE UNTAMED.

THE UNTAMED.

Urban Shadows is a world of frail alliances, delicate diplomacy and hidden rivalries.

The Untamed doesn’t give a shit to all this.

Why tip-toe your life and tremble in fear when you can revel and roar? She came to rend you free – but it will not be easy. Do you see all those obligations and loyalities? They will hurt like hell, when she’ll rip them apart.

So, the Untamed is a really loud, primal Archetype based on all the “Mother of Monsters” and “Wild Man” archetypes of mythology .

The Untamed gives power to others if they are brave enough to be free and monstrous. But it’s not all talk and motherly (or fatherly) attitudes – she can also break hell in civilized society!

As usual comments are more than welcome (especially about my horrible grammar), and if you’ve some idea of characters that may fit the archetype, please, post it as a comment!

I believe in the Dreamer.

Have you seen the stars shining in her eyes, when she speaks about the gardens we will build?

No – she’s not one of those scammers.

Watch her hands. There is mud: they’re dirty – like mine.

We will build a new world, a better one, together.

Will you help us?

So, the Dreamer is an Archetype based on a big, strong desire – you’ve a vision, and you’ll do everything to reach it. But be careful – the roads of hell are paved with good intentions.

On the mechanical side, the dreamer toys with corruption points, taking them out and also giving them – it works better on prolonged campaigns, with 3-4 players at the table.

In ancient times, cats were worshipped as gods.

They have not forgotten this. (T.Pratchett)

So, i hope you may enjoy it.

Some questions:

– What do you think about the toiler + Worship me mechanics? Do you think the options of toilers are too many?

– Should i specify that the character is intended to ba a talking cat? Or should i let it to the interpretation of the Table?
