Urban Decay

A roleplaying game of fast-moving beat ’em up action – take to the streets, take on the gangs, take back your City!

As night falls over the City, a storm is brewing in the streets below. The gangs have taken over. They rule with an iron fist, their will enforced by armies of thugs and brawlers. Uniting with a crew of like-minded individuals, you head out to reclaim your home, protecting neighborhoods, inspiring others to take a stand, and clashing with gang enforcers as you work your way through their ranks, seeking to cut the head from the

snake coiled at the heart of the City.

Urban Decay is inspired by classic arcade video games, movies and comic-books. Players take on the roles of warriors, martial artists, vigilantes and ordinary citizens, taking to the streets to face the gangs that control the City and to save the people and places they love. Streamlined character and crew creation produces distinct, capable heroes with shared goals and bonds, while the versatile Clash system emphasizes brutal, gritty street-fights. The City itself is built collaboratively, with players working together to define the districts and neighborhoods for which their heroes will go to war.
