Created by Magpie Games

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Update #8: Dice Tray Unlocked!
over 3 years ago – Sat, Oct 31, 2020 at 10:18:24 PM

Thank you so much for your continued support of this project! We’re so excited to hear your feedback and reveal further stretch goals as we keep growing! Without your incredible support we wouldn’t be able to bring you these new additions to the game!

We want to just take a moment to note how exciting it is to get to $100k. This is a huge milestone for any campaign, but to see Urban Shadows reach this level is nothing short of amazing. We’re coming up on three times what the first edition campaign raised in total!

So… without any more delay:

UNLOCKED - $100,00 Dice Tray

At $100,000, we’re creating 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!

Backers at the Core + All Stretch Goals pledge level and up receive the Dice Tray for free!

And now, our next two stretch goals…

Upcoming Stretch Goals

LOCKED - $110,000 PDF City Hub: Skid Row

At $110,000, we’ll create a new City Hub you can add to any campaign of Urban Shadows 2E: Skid Row.  The urban slums next to the railroad tracks don’t look like much, but—for Night—they are the perfect hunting grounds, hiding place, and trafficking territory. What will you do to control what’s yours on Skid Row? And who will you hurt to keep it?

Each of these new City Hubs greatly expands your game, offering new neighborhoods and institutions around which you can build a game. If you’ve ever wanted to run a game of Urban Shadows in the rough part of town, the spots where Night and Mortalis contend to hold sway, Skid Row is the City Hub for you!

LOCKED - $125,000 PDF The Witch

At $125,000, we’ll create a brand new playbook for Urban Shadows 2E: The Witch (Mortalis). Heartfelt and burdened, the Witch is a practitioner of hedge magic and forgotten alchemy, a mortal who has mastered magic in an attempt to heal and comfort those wounded by the shadows.

The Witch is our first brand new playbook for Urban Shadows 2E! We are thrilled to expand Mortalis with an awesome new playbook, and The Witch will allow you to play characters like Chloe (The Last Witch Hunter), Sophie Deveraux (the Originals), the Halliwell sisters (Charmed), and Constantine (DC Comics).

UNLOCKED - $90,000 PDF The Angel
