In this episode of the RPX Rollup, we're back with Urban Shadows 2nd edition. We're doing some city creation work, building Barrie, Ontario as our supernatural setting. We walk through the process of taking a real place and figuring out what kind of supernatural stuff might be going on there.

Join us as we discuss Barrie's actual history and geography, then start layering in the supernatural elements - where different factions might operate, what kind of politics exist between them, and how the supernatural world intersects with the regular city.

If you're interested in Urban Shadows or just curious about how to develop RPG settings, this gives you a look at how we approach city creation.
