History
editThe core book for Wizards of the Coast's d20 Modern Roleplaying Game (2002) included information on the modern day fantasy setting "Urban Arcana".[1]: 289 Wizards later developed this into a full setting sourcebook of its own: the Urban Arcana Campaign Setting (2003).[1]: 292
Description
editIn the world of Urban Arcana, dragons rule the boardrooms and bugbears rule the streets. It is a world where monsters and magic exist, yet the human psyche just cannot fathom them and covers up all supernatural events. Some, however, break that barrier and become aware of the world around them and help Mages, Acolytes, and other magical characters fight with monsters from another realm.
