Hey y'all!

New to this site but not to roleplaying, and certainly not to running one.

I've come here to propose Urban Shadows. Urban Shadows is a table-top RPG, but don't turn away just yet. I'm converting it into a PBP form, and I was wondering how much interest there might be for this.

Urban Shadows is usually set in a densely populated city, a metropolitan with droves of people and a city that nearly has a life of its own. Where there are secrets hidden just underneath, where the strange disguises itself in the normal, and where you are one who is privvy to the strange, to the darkness that permeates the underbelly of your city.

Think intrigue, secrets, the seductive pull of power, and the corruption that looms over all.

While the plot of Urban Shadows revolves around your character's relations, making this a heavily character driven story, I have a penchant to lean towards mysteries, so do expect that to be a big element.

As with most tabletops, Urban Shadows has pre-set classes (or, in this case, 'archetypes'). For ease of use, and because I love them and think you will, we'll be using the character sheets directly from Urban Shadows (which I will provide and translate into an easily fillable forum form).

Sorry for the barebones format! But, I'm excited and want to get this out there. If this interests you, please leave a comment! If you're intrigued but want to understand more before you commit, throw me your questions!

Definitely interested!

I'm down.

@Jarl Coolgruuf, @Vertigo, @Grey
Excited to have you guys on board! Let me know if you have any questions or anything~

Totally still open for more for whoever's interested!

I’m interested as well! @Kal

I’ve got a vaguely passing knowledge of how Urban Shadows works (i.e. I’ve been in a game that died quick + other PbtA-based systems). I’ll probably let everyone else pick their archetypes first, but speaking of which:

Are you thinking corebook only or are the expanded archetypes allowed too?

Ah! Well, as it were, my plan is to stick with the core archetypes unless we go over 10 peeps. Did you have a specific add-on or add-on archetype in mind?

Nah, it was just a general question.

@sassy1085 Welcome aboard!

I'm working on getting the OOC up! No guarantees on when, but I'll tag you guys on here once it's ready.

This sounds fantastic, but I'm just wondering, are players required to have prior knowledge of the game and have tabletop experience too?

I'll keep an eye on this post. It sounds remotely interesting to me.

Absolutely not, you can jump right in with or without any Urban Shadows and/or tabletop experience!

Urban Shadows rules so much

Consider me interested as well.

I don’t want to sound like that guy, but how is the pregame work coming? This is literally the only thing I have going on right now...

Honestly, glad you asked! I have the info ready to go (just needs some polish), it's just the archetype sheets that I'm stuck on translating into a PBP format that I'm happy with.

Actually, why don't I pose this question to y'all:

@Jabberwocky @A Man Is No One @Penny @Lirriia @Grey@sassy1085 @Vertigo @Jarl Coolgruuf

Would you guys like if I put up the info first, with the archetype ('class/character') sheet and the info provided within coming in after?

(Sorry for any poor wording or if I missed to @ someone, I ate too spicy lunch and now I'm dying, lmao)

Whatever works for you is fine with me!

Yeah, me too

Sounds like a good idea to me
