The Urban Shadows Kickstarter is now live and runs through June 29, 2014:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1287928832/urban-shadows-rpg

Oh yeah! The Kickstarter is over $20,000!! the 24k stretch goal is pretty sweet!

MC'd Urban Shadows at Origin's...I loved running this game! So many amazing archetypes with bad-ass moves and really well rounded basic moves! (kickstarted page has a download of the newest revised basic moves)

If you haven't checked it out - you should!

Most other playbooks can take gigs with advancements, and an MC may give moonlighting/gigs as a love-letter when the fiction calls for it (Harholder hires you to guard his holding...)

Think of them as jobs/missions the pc and or crew does in down time for barter or obligations.

Example; Player works bodyguarding and doing murders for the gigs.
Now, you talk with the player about how they work them, then work out the outcome...

depending on the Moonlighting roll Player rolls 7-9 on the above 2 gigs; picks success on body gaurding, fails at do'in murders;

"So Bishop, who are you bodygaurding, then who you killing?" player; "Well, Five-alive is going to bigtown and needs my protection... but his rival Stumps wants him dead... after we get him there, I'm going to take him out!"

2 ways to work this out in game;

1. After the fact... "well you got him there, and as you snuck up behind him to kill him later that day, you get caught right before the act... You kill em real good, but in the skirmish you suffered 3 harm!(embattled), fin.

2. Play it out; "well you get there with Five-alive... you sneak up on him that night like you planned, but... he's ready! - he and his goons appear in the alley, knives out... what do you do? (embattled).

as you can see #2 can take a bit longer, but can give more story opportunities

Hope that helps.

Looking forward to checking out your stuff Trayburn! Thanks for your work, and for posting!

I'm currently Mc'ing Urban Shadows (luckily enough with Pheylorn himself!)
We're having a great time, he's done a great job on the Hack! Love the corruption and Debts

I'll post some feedback!

Hi Greymalken, sent you a pm

Hankle

Yeah, London... doh. thanks Pheylorn that was a good session ; )

Ok, makes sense to incorperate Mc moves with the corruption and ask many ?'s
to each pc about what their coruption might be.

but...

I still would think it would be good to add it to MC moves list for new Mc's so its not forgotten... I forgot to use them first game, and a few of you I think racked up at least 2 or 3 ticks.

Sounds awesome Luigi! I'd love to play your Hack in future!

The Roman Empire is facinating!

Hey all, I highly recommend giving Pheylorns SWW hack a try! You will be hooked!

ApocW is by far the best rules set to capture a true Star Wars experince.

I have been Mc'ing his hack for 2 crews - It's been AMAZING, and the players love it!

Not sure if the doc is available, but I've been using special NPC stats for powerful NPC's that Pheylorn did up. Works really well as they have holds for each scene they can spend. Very easy to adapt this great idea to any other hack/ApocW also.

Thanks for the hard work Pheylorn!

We came up with a game in the New Republic (pre-yuuzhan vong)

The Hack Sounds awesome I'd love to try it out!

That's a cool time period too! (I especially like the first Dark Empire comic series...early new republic), hopefully most SW fans will ignore the Yuuzhan Vong *shudder* ...I may get some backlash on that but they were a terrible idea (still not as bad as jar-jar though) ; )

Good work!
