The City Hungers. Will You Feed It?
The streets bleed shadows as the supernatural politics of the city threaten to swallow you whole. Will you die a hero—a savior for those who have never had enough—or live long enough to become the villain? Will you fight the darkness...or give in for power?
The choice is yours.
Urban Shadows: Second Edition is an urban fantasy tabletop roleplaying game in which mortals and monsters vie for control of a modern-day city, a political battleground layered just under the reality we think we know. Vampires, faeries, hunters, and wizards fight to carve out a piece of the streets and skyscrapers, ready to make deals with all those who have something to offer.
Urban Shadows: Second Edition is based on the Powered by the Apocalypse framework, with all new rules designed to help you play a game of political urban fantasy. This quickstart includes everything you need to play a few sessions of the game, such as:
- Basic moves and rules to play
- Six archetype playbooks
- Special rules for Debts and Circles
- New faction turn rules for 2E
- Complete systems for intimacy and harm
