This week on The Gamerheads Podcast, Roger sits down with Mark Diaz-Truman, CEO and co-founder of Magpie Games, for a deep dive into Urban Shadows—Magpie’s gritty, urban fantasy tabletop RPG. From the game’s humble beginnings to its evolution into a refined second edition, Mark shares behind-the-scenes insights on the design process, how player choices shape the narrative, and why Urban Shadows stands out in a crowded RPG landscape.

The two explore the powerful mechanics behind character creation and corruption, the emotional weight of retirement in the game, and how the new edition makes it easier than ever to launch compelling campaigns. If you’re curious about what makes a TTRPG not just good, but unforgettable, this episode is for you
