''Urban Shadows'' is an UrbanFantasy TabletopRPG using the [[UsefulNotes/PoweredByTheApocalypse Apocalypse World Engine]]. Set in a city of the MC's choosing, players take control of various archetypes and play out a story of urban politics...only the archetypes are all supernatural creatures, and the politics in question are between vampires, werewolves, fae, and more.
A large part of the game centers around Debts, the favors and obligations that [=PCs=] And [=NPCs=] owe each other. Players can cash in Debts to get the people around them to do what they want...and those people can do the same if ''they'' have Debts on the players.
A second edition was [[Website/{{Kickstarter}} Kickstarted]] in 2020.

!!This game contains examples of:
* GambitPileup: Because the game encourages [=MCs=] to come up with several threats with which to set against the players, and because it's a political thriller, it's ''very'' easy for a game to descend into this.
* GrayAndGreyMorality: It's recommended that no one be purely good or evil; everyone has an objective and everyone's working towards it, doing both good and bad deeds along the way. Generally, though, everyone sans the player characters will likely be on the darker side of gray at best.
* SlowlySlippingIntoEvil: A game mechanic, represented as Corruption. Players can take corruption points for better results, get corruption advances for more powers...aaaaaaand next thing you know, you have to [[NonStandardGameOver retire your character as a Threat]]. Whoops.
* SpannerInTheWorks: It's explicitly noted in the corebook that players are liable to send whatever plans the many schemers have tumbling down, which lessens the above-mentioned GambitPileup somewhat.
* {{Splat}}: Archetypes, all of which represent a different sort of UrbanFantasy creature. 1E has ten, while 2E has twelve.
