  1. yayyyy always love gaming night. ttrpgs def scratch a different itch than larp, but it's still heckin' fun. and PBtA or other story generation games give me that mutual improv vibe that i really like.

  3. Chasing shadows in Berlins alleysone fleeting silhouette one story in stark contrast. This months theme the interplay of sunlight structure and the wandering soul. Who else feels inspired by geometry and grit #StreetPhotography, #BlackAndWhitePhotography, #BerlinPhotography, #UrbanShadows, #Monochrome

  4. Well, this is a surprise. #UrbanShadows 2nd edition finally arrived on my doorstep, three years late. #ttrpg

  5. 9 and 10. I finished Saturday with two sessions back-to-back of #UrbanShadows

    In retrospect, this was a mistake.

    Both groups had dedicated and fast-thinking GMs and groups who were excited to be there -- but the game is the most complex character/world setup of any PbtA I've seen.

  7. That feeling when the To Do list says you should *really* get to work on proofreading stuff to pay your bills, but you have these great ideas for an #UrbanShadows playbook that demand being written down now...

  8. This spectral facade, a canvas of memories, holds the shape of the absent, a tangible reminder of the invisible lives that once filled the space. 🌆👻🏚️

    名古屋の喧騒が去った静かな夕暮れに、かつて隣家があった場所に、ブルーシートで覆われたシルエットが立っています。まるで昨日の囁きが響く家の幽霊のような印象です。この幽霊のようなファサードは、記憶のキャンバスであり、かつてその空間を満たしていた見えない生活の形をとどめ、実在した証となっています。🌆👻🏚️

  9. Wie heißt nochmal dieses etwas ältere Rollenspiel, wo es genau um so was geht? #UrbanShadows ist es nicht, war kein pbtA-Spiel. Es ging um Okkultes. Ich wette, gleich fällt es mir wieder ein, nachdem ich den Sermon hier fertig getippt hab. Edit: Nope, tut es nicht.

    Es war #UnknownArmies.

  10. Something that just occurred to me about #ApocalypseKeys: The fact that no one uses permanent stats and abilities are mostly defined by your Powers of Darkness makes it really easy to grab moves from other playbooks without having to roll them on your worst stats.
    In #UrbanShadows, our Imp was in fact an Incubus and the Vamp's Eternal Hunger move would have been perfect, but it's rolled on a stat the Imp gets at -1.
    In ApocalypseKeys, I noticed that my Surge will likely generate a lot of bonds for others and act as a knowledge repository, so the Shade's move I'm the Expert Here would be quite useful and appropriate and I can just take it... once I get the necessary XP...

  11. This is golden, glorious stuff for magical realism or modern fae myths. Great inspiration for any modern fantasy, with a bit of work.

    Perfect for #UnknownArmies, adaptable to #WorldOfDarkness and #UrbanShadows or even #Kult. Could bring some darkness & whimsy to #ChangelingTheDreaming, even. mastodon.social/@Miniver/11066

  12. In yesterday's game of #urbanShadows, the Fae was facing a horrible dilemma: He had a lead on the person who bought cold iron bullets, but that lead was an old-school surveillance video tape and to follow up on it he'd have to sit through two hours of utter boredom. Impossible.

  13. @Fuchskind Was wird es denn? Bei mir steht am Sonntag #UrbanShadows an und dann nächste Woche #DSA und #Monsterhearts ...

  15. Another second Saturday, another #MagpieGames Community Play Day. I played in a fun session of #UrbanShadows. My "Veteran" archetype was a Fae scion of the Summer Court who spent the last 50 years at a human college because he found out learning and college life are fun. He may also have supplied half the campus with... um... herbal remedies.
    Over the course of the game, we investigated a murder and messed with one elder vampire on behalf of another elder vampire. Our characters worked together quite a bit more than the system usually intends, which definitely sped things up, but also made the web of debts we spent some time setting up feel a bit wasted, though sometimes worldbuilding feels like its own reward.

    Also, as it turns out video games are really helpful in supporting ttrpgs. The #SaintsRow Boss Factory (available for free on Epic) is increadibly awesome for creating character images for modern settings and #StrangeHorticulture made sure I had a sufficient amount of weird plants to distribute. Thanks again for the recommendation, @Lilliana_S!

  17. Vor drei Tagen ist das MC-Kapitel als Preview aus dem leicht verspäteten #UrbanShadows Kickstarter zu den Backern geschickt worden, ich hab's dann mal gelesen. Hgrn. Wie soll ich mich denn dann zwischen dem und #AcesInSpace entscheiden? Ich fürchte, es müssen früher oder später mal zwei Kampagnen her.

  18. The creature they were hunting was killed! ...Sadly, it was by one of their pets (a monster from who knows where) who devoured it, assumed it's form, & succumbed to it's demonic corruption! Now we're on mission Free Gilly!

    Join us tonight & find out what happens! #UrbanShadows #ttrpg #dnd

    Our penultimate episode of season 2, Somehow Human, airs at 8pm ET on twitch.tv/WeavetheTale

    With special guest Anthony, as Joe, The Gator! 😲 🐊

  19. @PaulStefko I love quickstarts as previews of a final product but I’ve actually rarely run a game out of one. There’s often something standing in the way, like goofy pregens, very limiting rules or an arid setting. A recent counterexample is #UrbanShadows 2e though - I have to admit the quickstart is quite next level.

  20. CW: Oh are there other #Cosplay folks on here? I do it for fun and not professionally but here's some pics. #TwitterMigration
