Hi all,
I see some references in the rules to things that haven’t been explained. I’m guessing this is because readers are assumed to be familiar with these, but I’m wondering if Urban Shadows prefers one over another.
Things that I’m talking about here include:
– Fairy courts: what courts are there? What are their differences? Is there a universally-agreed point about each court?
– How is the wizard council structured? Do we have other councils?
– How can vampires turn other humans into vampires? Also, how can vampires be killed?
If you search about any of these on Google, different series have different ideas. I’m wondering if Urban Shadows prefers one over the other. For example, regarding killing vampires, I’ve noticed in the long game example that the vampire is killed with a gun shot, and because it’s to the neck and at intimate range, it’s assumed that the vampire can’t regenerate.
However, in some series, vampires re-animate after a while, and only garlic/holy symbols/wooden steaks/silver/fire (the weaknesses differ a lot) do the job.
I’m just thinking that if Urban Shadows picks one set of rules over another, I should get myself familiar with it because my players expect me to know those. If not, should I give people hints about what “I”, as the MC, think as “correct” in this game?
Thanks a lot!
