Summary

JAILBREAK is a one-session scenario for Unknown Armies , originally written by Greg Stolze of this parish, in 1998 as a demo adventure for conventions, and subsequently published in the One Shots adventure anthology. It has since been described as one of the great horror adventures for any RPG. Greg is, of course, one of the creators of Unknown Armies , along with John Tynes, and his insights here into how the adventure came together, its structure, how it works and how it’s played are fascinating.
