Urban Shadows 2E (PbtA) (Unofficial)
Urban Shadows 2e is a political urban fantasy tabletop roleplaying game where players take on the roles of powerful, supernatural beings navigating the gritty struggles of modern city life. Set in a world where vampires, mages, fae, and mortals coexist in uneasy balance, the game focuses on power, corruption, and the complex web of alliances and betrayals that shape urban communities. Built on the Powered by the Apocalypse ideas, it emphasizes narrative-driven play, character growth through tough choices, and the consequences of wielding influence in a city that always demands something in return.
This module is for Foundry VTT and requires the PbtA System created by asacolips.
The content from this module is from Urban Shadows 2e from Magpie Games. You can get the book at: https://magpiegames.com/collections/urban-shadows
