Inspired by the fantastic work of Bobby Derie at Farcast, his Eclipse Phase yearblog.
What is Unknown Armies?
Created by Greg Stolze and John Tynes and published by Atlas Games, Unknown Armies is an occult horror roleplaying game in a modern setting. Absent eldritch horrors and inhuman deities (kind of) the focus of the game is on humanity.
Unknown Armies is a game about obsession. It presents a world superficially similar to our own but with a hidden underbelly (the Occult Underground) of shadowy cabals and lone screwballs with their eyes fixed on one particular prize - magick. The power to make what is desired into what is real, so long as you’re willing to face the costs and consequences of your ambitions. Of course other people are trying to do the same thing and their idea of fixing the world won't be the same as yours.

Content
As a horror game some of the content in Unknown Armies can be confronting and disturbing. What is written here is no different and it would be impossible for me to predict what might be too much for everyone's personal tastes, please exercise your best individual judgement and discretion when it comes to yourself and anyone who plays with you.
Everything here is a work of fiction, do not attempt any of it in real life. I'm not your mother and I won't visit you in the hospital or prison.
