Unknown Armies is an occult game about broken people conspiring to fix the world. It's about humanity - and how the most obsessed have the power to alter reality until it aligns with their fevered desires. It's about getting what you want - despite others trying to keep it from you. What would you risk to change the world? Your friends? Your family? Your health? Your sanity? Magick finds a way to ask the very most from you, until you achieve what you want - or you're left with nothing!
Unknown Armies is about what's behind every corner and buried in every closet. It plays out in a world just like our own, filled with uncanny mysteries, unrepentant horrors, and unnatural pleasures. What you do with these revelations is up to you.
Unknown Armies is about keeping what you have from those who want it - kicking them while they're down, then cheering when they get up. As the gamemaster, you lead the players in creating their characters and the world they exist in, then set up antagonists worthy of their attention. You are their guide into darkness and the light that shows them the way out.
Unknown Armies presents magick as it might exist in a world inspired by crime fiction and secret histories, as twisting wrinkles in reality create 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.
