So I've acquired a bit of a reputation as a weird-yet-skilled RPG gamemaster, and people frequently say things like "Your games must be a blast" or "I wish I could play with you."
Well, while I can't let everyone in the world play with me (oo-er, missus!) I can let you listen in on a game session.
Last Wednesday, I ran an adventure for the Unknown Armies RPG to fill in for my currently Pathfinder GM who's been dealing with family problems. UA is a weird, fun little game that not many people have heard about. It's an urban fantasy role-playing game that's hard to describe, so I'll toss out a few similes:
- It's the game people wanted Mage: the Ascension to be, all gritty and street level instead of high-minded and cosmic.
- It's the game you'd get if Hunter S. Thompson wrote a Vertigo comic.
- In the words of one of the game's writers, it's about "Power and Consequences".
- In the words of another, it's a game about a "Bunch of skeevy weirdos trying to undermine the fundaments of reality because no one else had the brass to try it".
