Game Description
All that crap about Mayan and 2012 and THEN December 22nd being the end of the the world there no way any of it could be true right. The funny things is people in the Occult Underground is they have a terrible habit of making the fantastical fact ask the Annihilomancer who can make things spontaneously combust, to the Dipsomancer who can perform open heart surgery drunk off his ass, to the Videomancer who imprisons other peoples souls in TVs. Granted those are extremes but The Sleepers the secret group dedicated to policing dangerous mages and keeping them out of the public eye aren't taking any chances. They are sending a large number of there agents to end of the world parties across the globe to keep an eye on events . You are members of the Lodge a group of Toronto Sleepers from all different walks of life each from a different school of magic heading to a massive party at the ROM where noted members of the Occult Underground as well as more than a few mundanes are expected to attend. Your job is to keep an eye out for magical activity the ROM artefacts being a source of them as is while making sure no mages are being too obvious. Let's hope you can make the End of the World After Party.
Unknown Armies is a game of Postmodern Magick where mages called adepts or dukes gain charges based of there school to then spend on spells (For example Dipsomancers gain charges from consuming booze and can spend them on spells to make them seem as Harmless as a Drunk or even sip the souls of others), it has a built in madness systems as well and uses a single D100.
This game is recommended for players with some roleplaying experience.
Players will chose from a variety of PCs beyond those included in the descriptions which give a good taste of characters. I should have a videomancer (tv based magic), a diposomancer (alchohol based magic) and a cliomancer (history based magic, its actually pretty cool) done by gryphcon if you not a fan of your current character.

Oliver Cook A paradox in himself Hans Shultz is a annihilomancer with a zen perspective. A prodigy from Germany who came to came to Toronto after being chase away by mostly hardcore punk Annihilomancers there, he practices a spiritual kind of destruction elimiating physical and emotional burdens to help others on there path to enlightenment.

Reginald "Regi" Davis, Comic Book fanboy with Real Freaking Powers
JustJake Reginald is your classic Bilbliomancer, sheltered childhood, found solace in books more than other people blah blah blah, with one small exception Regi read comics, all kinds all shapes all forms his collection of issues numbers in the thousands from rare editions to signed copies. He was surprisingly chill when he started changing reality to suit his whim, naturally he always wanted to have super powers. He pursues magic the same same he pursues his collection with a cold almost emotionless passion which has lead to difficulties relating to others. Nevertheless he has proved to be a natural fit for the sleepers, he’s read comics about people with powers going unchecked and feels its his duty to help, if he gets to feel like a hero in the process, well thats nice too.
Harper "Pix" Morelli, Heartbreaking Manic Pixie Dream Girl
Brian Little While most Amoromancers are cold hearted Heartbreakers because it gives them power, Pix just can't help it. In love with everyone and incapable of loving a single person is it her fault everyone else falls in love with her and can’t accept her long string of significant others, stalkers and self proclaimed fan boys. Whatever the case her contacts and manipulation of emotions has served the Sleepers well.
