(RPG PDF Spotlight) Urban Shadows: Expanded City Hubs

Expanded City Hubs

Urban Shadows Supplement by Magpie Games

The city has opened her gates to you. Will you venture forth?

In addition to the four City Hubs found in the Urban Shadows core book (Art District, City Hall, Downtown, and the University), these four additional Hubs expand the city to include new areas and conflicts, giving your story a new focus and aesthetic. From the messy mortal politics of the Block to the wizardly machinations of the Street, here are some tips on making the most of what each of these new Hubs brings to the table for your group.

This document contains the four new city hubs—The Block, the Docks, Skid Row, and The Street—along with everything you need to add them to your game. A detailed write up of each location is included, along with conflicts, residents, relaionships, and unique city hub moves for erach.

Check out these hubs included:

  • The Block: A bastion of Mortalis factions, the Block is a working-class neighborhood that takes care of itself, a ‘hood where people get by just fine…even if they never get out. But is there a future here for those who dream of bigger things? Or must dangerous deals be struck with other powers?
  • 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?
  • 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?
  • The Street: Dominated by Power, the Street is caught in the grip of the immortal numerologists and financial seers, all vying for control of the city’s monetary pulse. What will you do to seize your destiny when others traffic in your future?

The choice is yours. The city awaits.
