Unknown Armies System and Setting

Unknown Armies is a modern-day occult conspiracy RPG with an emphasis on "furious action", based around the concept that the cosmos will soon die and be reborn. The PCs are conspirators within the occult underground, trying to influence what the next world will be like. The system uses a percentile skill-based system. Action resolution is by rolling under skill on d100, where "doubles" (11, 22, etc.) are special results, and quality of success is measured by the roll itself. Character creation is limited point-based, with freeform skills. There is a mental health system (the madness meter) which divides trauma into five categories in which mental stress points can accumulate.
