Unknown Armies - Book One : Play

Unknown Armies presents magick as it might exist in a world informed by crime fiction and secret histories, as twisting wrinkles in reality created by greater and greater risk, sacrifice, and obsession. As a player, you are confronted by the consequences of your character's actions, and challenged by the implicit threat of a world shaped by the will of those who want something more than you do.

It's about being relentlessly, hopelessly human.

Book One: Play is the book for players. It details:

•     Obsession and identity.
•     All of the rules for resolving actions.
•     The central shock gauge mechanic.
•     How to avoid fights, and how to deal with them when you're dragged into them anyway.
•     The magick of adepts and avatars.
•     Gorgeous full-color art and layout.

Created by Greg Stolze and John Tynes, Unknown Armies presents an entirely original yet disturbingly familiar approach to mystery, horror, and action in roleplaying games.
