Unknown Armies Second Edition at a Glance

• A legacy edition of this groundbreaking RPG of modern occult intrigue; this core book contains everything you need to play.
• Face bizarre supernatural forces in a struggle to shape the next incarnation of reality.
• Campaign levels measure your characters’ involvement with the occult underworld. Keep it simple for newbies with a street level campaign or dive deep with a cosmic one.

What is Unknown Armies Second Edition?

In this RPG of mature occult horror, the occult isn’t just fun and games. It’s all too real. Power players behind the scenes fight to ascend to a higher plane, where they’ll help create the next incarnation of reality. It’s not a pretty fight. Warring cults, mind-bending magic, unspeakable monsters…

Your characters are smack in the middle of it. Second edition remixes the game based on campaign levels, which determine how involved your characters are with the magickal world.

At street level, you’re outsiders. In global level games, you’ve got some mojo of your own. And in a cosmic level game? Well, saying that the universe is at stake isn’t an over-exaggeration for once.

What will you risk to change the world?
