The summer blockbuster season is kicking off with the release of The Fall Guy, a big action picture starring Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt. Directed by David Leitch, known for his work on John Wick and Deadpool 2, the film follows a stuntman who gets caught up in a dangerous mystery. Dungeons & Dragons players looking for a similar cinematic experience can check out Outgunned, a new game set in a world of fast chases, hard-hitting action, and ridiculous stunts.
Outgunned Rules
The Director’s Cut rules of Outgunned focus on players building pools of six-sided dice, looking for dice matches to determine success rather than counting individual dice. Characters are built from Roles and Tropes, giving them skills, abilities, and backstory. Action heroes in the game have access to adrenaline points that can be used for extra dice or special abilities, as well as Spotlight scenes where players can control dramatic moments in the game.
A World of Killers
Outgunned offers a campaign setting called A World of Killers, inspired by lethal assassins in games like Hitman and films like John Wick. Players can take on the role of The Assassin and navigate a world of murder and intrigue as criminal families compete for power. The book includes rules for killer contracts, hunting prey, and navigating a life of killing.
Action Flicks
Players looking to explore action in different settings beyond the modern world can turn to Action Flicks, which includes rules and guidance for incorporating elements from films like Aliens, Star Wars, and Avengers into the game. The book also includes rules for jumping through different settings in the multiverse, allowing Game Masters to create diverse and exciting scenes for their players.
Outgunned Adventure
For fans of adventurous tales like that of a whip-wielding archaeologist, Outgunned Adventure is set to bring artifacts and crumbling temples to the game this summer. The BackerKit for this expansion is set to go live soon, offering players new adventures and challenges to experience. The quickstart is already available, giving players a taste of what to expect from this genre expansion for the game.
In conclusion, the summer season is starting off with a bang in the world of action-packed entertainment.
