I’m on the hunt for games that feature mages set in an urban fantasy world. I’m thinking along the lines of “World of Darkness” or “Nasuverse”. Ideally, I want something with a bit of a gritty vibe to it. Any recommendations?

If you’re okay with a bit of a cyberpunk twist, I’d recommend Shadowrun by Harebrained Studios. It blends magic with a futuristic setting, so if that’s your thing, give it a go!
You should check out Tactical Breach Wizards! It’s got some cool mechanics and a unique take on the urban fantasy genre. Definitely gives off that edgy vibe you’re looking for.
Unavowed might be right up your alley! I heard it started as a Dresden Files game but had to change gears. You can definitely see that influence in its storytelling.
Have you tried the Gabriel Knight series? It’s a classic urban fantasy adventure game. Think of it like if Harry Dresden was a washed-up bookstore owner. Plus, Tim Curry voices the lead in the second and third games!
Yeah, Shadowrun’s awesome, but keep in mind it’s more cyberpunk than classic urban fantasy. Still worth it if you enjoy mixing genres!
