Looking for an Unknown Armies game

[Alistair Leonhart]

So, I´m pretty much new to tabletops in general (I´ve read some handbooks, but I´ve never actually played these). I´d say the one tabletop that really caught my eye was Unknown Armies, with all the urban horror and creativity it portrayed. So I was wondering if there were any players or GMs that were interested in participating or running a game of this particular tabletop RPG, in the Street or Global levels, since I can´t really consider GM´ing a game myself if I have never played this or any similar games. Thanks in advance!

I'm interested. Which edition? I have PDFs for 3 and haven't played yet. Willing to GM for solid player concepts.

Well, I had the PDF´s for the 1st and 2nd version, but I don´t have the third one unfortunately. I had planned a character somewhere among the lines of a retired baseball player who could be any of the three kinds of character (mundane, adept, avatar) depending on the approach and type of game (so if he was playing in a Global campaign, he would likely be an adept, while he would be a mundane or low level MVP avatar in Street level and so). I have some general ideas for him in my head as to his history, motivations, passions, obsessions, and skills, but I would need to know the exact focus of the campaign to know what I could go with and what to discard, maybe even a whole new character if it doesn´t fit the theme (as in, members of a cabal whose members wouldn´t be sportsmen or maybe four police officers fighting crime in the occult underground and such.) Since I don´t have the third edition, I don´t really know if there´s any new rules, cabals, archetypes, magick schools and such, so for now I can only consider going for the schools depicted in the second edition and in Post Modern Magick, as well as going by the rules of the first and second editions.

PM me. This would be a street level campaign with room to grow. I'd like the players to be low level adepts, hoping this will attract newcomers to the series and not put too much fluff on their plate. I like the idea of an ex-baseball player. My hard no is towards detectives, cops, PI's, and soldiers. Too many of those guys in rpg's.

I need to think about the plot and in the mean time can set you up with some 3E literature.

Still looking for players or GMs! As a bit of an update, I´d prefer a Street level campaign with the players being either a group of friends or simply people who happened to be at the wrong place, at the right time, with most of them probably having tried occultism at some point in their lives (maybe minor adepts, or maybe just people who played with an Ouija board or tried to do some research on certain bizarre, unexplained events). Something low level for the players to get used to their characters and get some experience before the tougher campaigns.
