On the train she's sitting across from Eugene Larue, a hobo with crazy eyes who keeps trying to strike up small talk with her.Īfter arriving she manages to blackmail (via breaking and entering and self-made nude pictures) an unemployment agency employee into giving up her parent's current whereabouts (don't worry, he was an asshole) but when she arrives at the address she sees none other than Eugene Larue snoozing in a truck outside. Not willing to let a shitty childhood get even shittier Renata decides to try and track them down and takes a train to Atlanta (after convincing the rental truck company to tell her where it was going). She just came home from school one day and they were gone: cleared out their things, closed their bank accounts, rented a truck and just fucking Legacy is told from the point of view of Renata Mers Dakota, a girl with a strange name, a shitty childhood and suddenly missing parents. In fact, personally I use a modified version of Legacy's concept as the intro adventure for pretty much every single supernatural conspiracy game I've ever run. I get the idea behind it but it's sure predictable at this point.Īnyway, UA's intro fiction is "Legacy" and it at least does a very good job of introducing the feel and concepts behind a UA game. I'm not sure what it is but just about every modern occult/magic setting seems to be required to include an intro fiction from the perspective of a "mundane" plunged into the supernatural world. Mankind is the ultimate enemy and the ultimate cosmic force. That is, everything revolves around mankind and all the horror's you face either are, were or were created by a human being. However, in terms of theme it's more the flip side of the same coin: while Cthulhu is a game about being a fleeting speck of dust in the uncaring cosmic void, UA is It resembles Call of Cthulhu in that its a d% based horror game with a sanity system and secret cults and mysticism. The tagline is "a game of power and consequences." Unfortunately it doesn't take a lot of power for there to be some pretty nasty consequences. Unknown Armies is a game of weirdness, conspiracies, occultism and horror. It's been a while since I did a F&F and so I figured I'd pick up a game that someone else started but got abandoned a while back.īecause it's a really weird game (in a good way for the most part) and people who haven't heard about it definitely should.
