13. Super impressed. Ruleset seems really tight, with debt and investigation moves (which don’t include a read a situation equivalent) heavily encouraging interaction with characters as the primary form of information gathering, which I like. This is further backed up by the advancement rules.

    I can’t wait to get some more corruption under my belt so I can start possessing people.

17. Ferrell Riley Honestly, that’s not really how I would characterize it. MH is a metaphor for being a teenager. Urban Shadows is straight-up World of Darkness, which is a little more on-the-nose in terms of its fantasy environment.

19. I guess to me, it seems like a good analogue for how you go from High School, where you’re this unique person who no one can really understand(tm), and get into the real world where you find out that not only are there other people like you, there’s also this complex web of social contract that makes high school look like a kiddy pool, and oh yea, there’s lots of bad shit out there and if you fall you may never get back up cause someone busted your kneecaps.

    still, it might be me reading it like that because I came from that sheltered background of white suburbanite and got tossed into the real world with way too much naivete
