Urban-Modern-Fantasy is a narrative-based table-top system. The game is a back-and-forth between the Game Master (GM) and the players. The flow of the game is roughly:
- The GM describes a situation ("You are in a dark room")
- The GM asks a player what they do ("What do you do?")
- The player describes what they do ("I punch the darkness")
- The GM determines if a move has been triggered ("Sounds like Melee, roll 2D6")
- If so, the player rolls and the outcome affects the story. ("I succeed, 2 damage to the darkness")
- Either way, we return to step 1.
