This is so incredible! In such a short time we’ve managed to obtain some of the deepest secrets of the city by unlocking three stretch goals. We never could have foreseen how much support you have given us!

With the greatest pleasure we announce that THREE stretch goals have been unlocked since last we updated you all.

The GM screen is now unlocked! The GM screen is a physical reward, giving the GM all the tools they need to run the city and keep the characters’ lives interesting. All backers at Core + All Stretch Goals pledge level and up receive the physical GM screen!

UNLOCKED - $30,000 Playbook Revamp

The Anointed and the Revenant join the city as well. These revised playbooks will be released as PDFs, bringing with them new stories to your games. All backers at All PDFs pledge level and up receive these digital playbooks!

UNLOCKED - $40,000 Campaign Notepad

The Campaign Notepad has also been unlocked! The Notepad is suitable for keeping notes on your ever evolving urban landscape and the Circles within. It’s a physical reward, received along with your book and other unlocked goals. All backers at Core + All Stretch Goals pledge level and up receive the Campaign Notepad!

And now, we’re ready to announce our next stretch goal…

New Stretch Goals

LOCKED - $50,000 Playbook Revamp

At $50,000, we’ll revamp two more limited edition playbooks from the original Urban Shadows: The Scholar and The Vessel.

  • Mercenary and knowledgeable, the Scholar traffics in magic items and supernatural artifacts, selling priceless wonders to his network of strange and wealthy mortals. The addition of the Scholar makes strange artifacts and tomes central to your story!
     
  • Stubborn and inhuman, the Vessel struggles against the programming left inside them by their creator, working to earn the humanity others take for granted. The Vessel upends the normal corruption track, attempting instead to find redemption and become fully human
     

Backers at the All PDFs pledge level and up receive a digital copy of both archetypes for free!

LOCKED - $60,000 Roll 20 Module

At $60,000, we’ll create a free Roll20 module for playing Urban Shadows 2E online! The module will include all the materials from the core game, including basic moves, playbooks, and GM materials!
