About the adventure

Unknown Armies is a game about broken people trying to fix a broken world. Are you an Adept, whose power comes from turning your obsession into Magick? Or an Avatar, who lives by one of the Archetypes to the point where the world bends to make way for you? Or are you someone who's trying to claw back their bit of peace. You care about something strongly enough that instead of ignoring it like everyone else, you feel the need to fight back. With all the strange and mysterious things that exist in the world, the hard fact is that it's not some alien entity behind all mask of the world----it's all people. In all their glory and monstrosity.

About me

ImprovGM on Tiktok. I've been doing improv for over 20 years and run workshops at GenCon teaching those skills to gamers. I run a wide variety of games that focus on player run narratives that emphasize characters and emotional stakes. I've had a great time seeing how much people and scenes come alive in the workshops I've run and want to bring that to others.

Character creation

Creating your character

We'll be creating charcters during the first session. Glancing through the different types of adepts and avatars is a good idea before we make them, though PCs who aren't either of those do have more flexibility in the things they do. This is a game that handles regular people along with the magical very well, since it's not generally high powered magic.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You'll need a webcam and mic. There will be a google drive along with roll20 where we'll keep most information and create any other documents we need. Occasionally, your web browser or google earth is useful because Unknown Armies always seems to gift me with real world things that seem custom made for our game.

What Mikel (ImprovGM) brings to the table

We'll use Roll20 for character sheets and to keep information and notes and I'll bring everything that's needed, included information about character abilities. It'll be mainly theatre of the mind style play.

How Mikel (ImprovGM) creates a safe table

There will be a Lines and Veils document that we use where we can dial our expectations in together. We will also do a Palette, which is where we can decide what are the things we're interested in seeing during the game and what things we're really not that interested in. During character creation, we will create the conspiracy board which will look at the things we, as a group, are interested in delving into. This will allow us to make sure we're all interested, comfortable, and invested in the direction of gameplay. There will also be check ins.
