Unknown Armies

Role-Playing Games

Unknown Armies is an occult-themed roleplaying game by John Scott Tynes and Greg Stolze, published by Atlas Games. The first edition appeared in 1998, followed by a second edition in 2002 and a third in 2017. The game is set in a postmodernist occult underground in which characters wield magick through personal belief, so its supernatural elements are tied to what the characters themselves hold true rather than to a fixed external cosmology.
