URBAN SHADOWS - CORE BOOK

Mind the lanternlight and keep your purse close, friend, because the city after dark is full of things with sharp teeth and sharper bargains.

Urban Shadows: Core Book is a tabletop roleplaying game of modern fantasy and midnight politics, where mortals and monsters alike scrape for power in the hidden corners of the city. Vampires scheme in velvet back rooms, fae twist promises into snares, hunters stalk the alleys, and mages chase secrets that ought to have stayed buried. Every favor has a cost, every alliance is fragile, and every bad decision has a way of coming back with interest.

Inside this tome, you’ll find the tools to spin tales of debts, ambition, loyalty, and betrayal, with 12 character playbooks ready to throw players straight into the mess. The city itself is shaped by four great circles of influence, Mortalis, Night, Wild, and Power, each tugging at the strings of the world in their own way. The book also arms the Master of Ceremonies with guidance for running the game, alongside city material for Chicago and Santiago, each packed with enough intrigue to keep a table busy long after midnight.

What’s inside:

• 12 character playbooks
• 4 Circles: Mortalis, Night, Wild, and Power
• Rules built around favors, debts, and supernatural politics
• Guidance for the Master of Ceremonies
• City guides for Chicago and Santiago

A fine book for those who like their fantasy dressed in city smoke, whispered promises, and trouble that starts with “just one little favor.”
