American Dreams
Three pre-baked modules designed for new players. Step into pregenerated cabals enmeshed in intricate webs of social relationships. Undertake various quests like like “stop your dad from sacrificing you to gain a major charge” and “become an avatar of the Firebrand to start a Maoist revolution in the bayou”.

The strongest is the third module, about a group of mages in Detroit trying to upload themselves into the metaphysical heart of the city in order to revitalize it. It has the most interesting content, and it most closely mirrors how a normal Unknown Armies game is set up, with the players pursuing milestones to accomplish an overall goal, dealing with NPC blowback at each stage.

Lacks the compact rules tutorial offered Maria in Three Parts, but better demonstrates Unknown Armies 3's core loop of self-directed play driven by character motivations. Good product.
