Here is a link to Session 3 of Urban Shadows: The Violet Crown. In this one:

-Our PCs have a showdown with the fey of Hippie Hollow, who are up to some very unpleasant shit;

-the mystery of what is being hidden in the basement of the Texas History Museum is revealed;

-the vamp food truck front Night Noms is making its move on South Austin (because it’s less dangerous to feed on working-class Mexicans than rich, white hipsters);

-our Aware gets to reclaim some of his dignity from his ex-wife;

-the PCs trigger their intimacy moves by smoking a bowl and pouring out their hearts to one another; and

-there’s a bit of light puppy play between our Tainted and his Dark Patron.

It’s a party!

Comic Strip AP of Urban Shadows, by Andrew Medeiros and Mark Diaz Truman

GMed by Kate Bullock, with my lucky enough to play.

I’m playing a Fae who’s a stranger in a strange land, way over his head, chasing someone he loves who doesn’t necessarily love him back. It’s going to be a twisty road as Yorimitsu navigates the tricky politics of Toronto, with no friends to call his own.

Hi everyone. Thanks for approving my request to join.

I’ve recently started an RPG-themed blog (stuff for Fate Accelerated mostly) and was looking for ways to increase my site’s exposure. Does anyone have any advice on how I could work to reach a larger audience? Cheers. 😀

A short description of the Swedish rpg Oktoberlandet (The October Realm). If someone is interested…

The second edition of Oktoberlandet was published by Fria Ligan (Free League) last fall. It is a Fate based system.

The game is described as magical steampunk in the realm of the Tsar and has many similarities to Russia in the early 1900 hundreds.

The game book is hardbound with cloth and has a very stylish front in the futurism style.

There are a couple of things I particularly like about the game. The first is that the game list a couple of hundred aspects and several stunts is defined for each skill. This is good as it sets the tone of the game and gives the players a lot of inspiration on how aspects can be defined (many players have a hard time coming up with aspects in Fate games).

Secondly I really like that all background material is written as fiction or as “authentic” documents. And the game designer urges us to interpret the texts. There are no right or wrong way to do that. It is up to your game group to define what is really true and what is false.

There are no humans in the world of Oktoberlandet. All characters are a kind of a fey creature. And it is a very hierarchical society. All feys are not equal. So there are plenty of room to play on political conflicts.

The book also contains a 40-page adventure called “The voice of the Tsar”.

I really like this fascinating game.

Hey, guys, do you want a review copy? Jason Cordova

The Exodus System is a new standalone RPG inspired by my favorite systems of all time, including Black Hack, Cortex Prime, Numenera/Cypher System and the Adventurer, Conqueror, King System (ACKS).

Inside is a complete game ready for you to hack. It’s suitable for any genre, from stone age historical to sci-fi. Character creation is fast and easy. You get to create your own class by simply choosing two Roles and two Flavors. Every character gets a Role that’s useful in combat and one that’s non-combat applications so everyone always has time to shine.

This purchase comes in both PDF form, for easy reading, and in a Word document so you can hack the system. Besides the name “Exodus System” and my name, Jacob DC Ross, everything in the book is Open Content with the OGL.

Thiese files have no interior art in order to make printing easier and less expensive. That said, we’re working on a new setting called NexEarth, which is going to feature beautiful pieces by some of the best artists in the industry, as well as new mechanics and a rich story.

As a living document, this game is going to get regularly updated, and your purchase here gets you access to those updates. When we release NexEarth everyone whose already purchased the SRD gets a discount coupon, which essentially makes this title FREE.

We want a lot of support for this title, so please get the word out!

Anyone got a suggestion on what tool I should use for online play to model my game’s Struggle map?

The map itself is in an image below. The trick is, as we play, we’re going to need to drop chips that are individualized to each player (e.g., I’ve got black, you’ve got red, she’s got blue).

Anyone got a suggestion for how to pull this off?
