Who Are We?

Urban Myths got its start running Dresden Files LARPs and tabletops at GenCon in 2013. Many of our players and storytellers go back with GenCon far further; a lot of us still have a special place in our heart for Changeling: The Dreaming. We decided that we wanted a more welcoming atmosphere, a more cooperative gaming system, and a bigger emphasis on roleplaying. And that's how a bunch of Canadians, Texans, and everything in between started their own gaming group.

In 2018, Urban Myths started MythCon, a small gaming convention in Montreal, Quebec. We now run most of our games at MythCon, where the venue is quieter and we have a bit more control over the atmosphere.

Why Dresden Files?

Most of us enjoy the books, but the real draw of the Dresden Files setting is that it's got a place for just about any mythology -- and extraordinary mortals can still kick supernaturals in the teeth every once in a while! It doesn't hurt that the Dresden Files RPG runs on the Fate system (our personal favourite), which encourages openness, active player consent, and excellent roleplaying. If you haven't gotten a chance to try out Fate yet, don't worry! We always hold a quick rules tutorial at 7 PM on the first night of our LARP, and your storytellers and fellow players are always happy to help you out if you have questions.
