Our second day continues to be amazing thanks to your amazing support! We’re now unlocking our second stretch goal of the day and our seventh stretch goal of the campaign! Thank you for sharing the campaign and helping us create such an incredible project!
UNLOCKED - $80,000 PDF City Hub: The Docks
At $80,000, we’re creating a new City Hub PDF you can add to any campaign of Urban Shadows 2E: The Docks. Controlled by Wild, the docks revolve around the legal—and illegal—trade that flows from ships, ports, and...other ways into the city. What new things arrive each day? And what winds—fair and foul—do they bring?
Backers at the All PDFs pledge level and up receive a digital copy of The Docks for free!
And now, our next two stretch goals…
Upcoming Stretch Goals
LOCKED - $90,000 PDF The Angel
At $90,000, we’ll (finally!) complete and release a new playbook, the long-awaited archetype: The Angel (Wild). Beautiful and lost, the Angel is a powerful holy force, an otherworldly creature sent to earth to accomplish a divine mission they do not yet fully understand.
The Angel is based on the original draft of the archetype written by Jenn Martin in 2016. Backers at the All PDFs pledge level and up receive a digital copy of The Angel playbook for free!
LOCKED - $100,000 Dice Tray
At $100,000, we’ll create an Urban Shadows dice tray! The tray will be square neoprene and rubber back (approximately 8”x8”), featuring Urban Shadows 2E art and plastic button corners. Never lose your dice again!

Update #1: Funded! In 12 Minutes!

Funded!
Urban Shadows 2E is fully funded at $10,000! That’s amazing! We’re so grateful for the excitement and support you’ve all shown us!
Urban Shadows has been a constant passion of ours for more than six years, from its earliest design in 2013 through the release of the physical book in 2015 and all the way through today thanks to our fans. After the first edition reached so many incredible GMs and players, we knew Urban Shadows could push urban political fantasy even further. And thanks to your incredible support, this innovative new edition is going to bring all new tools and ideas to a whole new audience of urban fantasy gamers.
Before We Began
Even before we launched, we unlocked a ton of pre-launch stretch goals! Here’s a quick recap:
- At 750 follows, we added a pack of five pairs of six-sided dice customized for Urban Shadows, including a pair of dice for each Circle (Mortalis, Night, Power, Wild) and a general Urban Shadows pair of dice! Backers at the Core + All Stretch Goals pledge level and up receive the Dice Pack for free!
- At 1000 follows, we added two limited edition playbooks from the original Urban Shadows: The Dragon and The Immortal! The Immortal takes a long view of politics, manipulating the city’s factions across decades, emerging only to see their efforts fulfilled. The Dragon is captivated by their past life, striving to discover the truth of their ancient origins and the lost broodmates who were reborn alongside them.

Thank you so much to everyone who helped us unlock these pre-launch goals! We appreciate your very, very early support!
Visions of the Future
We’ve only begun to explore the city. There are numerous places of power we have yet to touch upon, but those brave enough to travel deeper into the shadows will find such treasures, alongside multiple stretch goals, eager to be discovered.
At $20,000, we will create a four-panel GM screen. Each panel will be roughly 8.5” x 11”, totallying 34” long! The GM facing side will contain useful tools, tables, and information to make running the game seamless. The player facing side features full color art from the book! All backers at Core + All Stretch Goals pledge level and up receive the GM screen for free!
At $30,000, we will revamp two evocative playbooks for 2nd Edition: the Anointed and The Revenant
- The Anointed, formally known as the Hallowed, is the wise and devout pastor of a religious flock, a group of mortals whose faith has driven them to seek guidance and solace from their chosen leader. They draw power from their following, but the Anointed must contend with the problems and issues their flock creates for them.
- Cold and mysterious, the Revenant has been given a chance to right the wrongs of their demise, brought back from the land of the dead to avenge their own murder. The mystery of their death—and the costs of revenge—play out as The Revenant carves a bloody path across the city, leaving only corruption in their wake
All backers at Core + All Stretch Goals pledge level and up receive a digital copy of both archetypes for free!
Finally, at $40,000, we’ll add a physical campaign notepad. You can use it to track how your city evolves during your campaign, helping you note the changes and evolution of each Circle and their places of power. The Campaign Notepad comes with 50 sheets tear off sheets where you can record player and Circle actions as they happen.
Spread the Word Across the City
The only way projects like Urban Shadows 2E succeed is because of backers like you! Yet...we still must ask your assistance! Please share this Kickstarter and let your Circles know! Check out the quickstart if you haven’t already, and let us know what you think!
Above all, thank you for your support, enthusiasm, and excitement. We can’t wait to share what else awaits within the city with you!
