About the adventure
🍿 Do you like action movies? 🔫 Do you wait for Christmas just to watch the re-run of Die Hard? 💥 Have you ever dreamed of walking in slow-motion with badassery while everything behind you explodes? 🕶️ Then OUTGUNNED is for you! OUTGUNNED is an award-winning indie gem from the fantastic team at Two Little Mice (who also published the renown "Household" and "Memento Mori"). The focus of the whole game is to create cinematic experiences reminiscent of action movies. It's easy to pick up, very dynamic and hilariously fun. Project Medusa is a short campaign (or a "Mission Dossier" in technical terms!) of three "shots". Your very own action-filled trilogy! Each shot usually takes one or two sessions, so the whole campaign should last around 3-6 sessions, more or less. You will play as a group of hardy heroes investigating a mysterious experimental weapon, codenamed "Project Medusa". This dangerous artefact, in the wrong hands, would be very bad news for the world. Your mission, should you accept it, is to find it and destroy it. Good luck, Heroes!

About me
🇬🇧 Hi! I'm Andrea, spawn of '89, from Italy. I would be honoured to be your storyteller (or "cantastorie", story-singer in Italian), and to craft together wondrous tales worth remembering! I am a professional computer games designer, which gives me an edge in crafting fantastic game experiences in general. My career in games is a natural evolution of my long love story with tabletop and live roleplaying games. I've plaid roleplaying games since I was 15, and in 2024 I started to go a bit more "professional" by organising games for kids and adults with a local community in my city. I'm here on StartPlaying to share my love for the hobby even more, refine my skills, and, of course, to have a blast! ------- 🇮🇹 Ciao! Mi chiamo Andrea, progenie dell'89, dall'Italia. Sarei onorato di essere il tuo prossimo narratore (o cantastorie se vogliamo essere romantici), e dare vita insieme a fantastiche storie da ricordare con affetto. Sono un progettista di videogiochi (game designer) professionista, il che mi da un vantaggio nel creare fantastiche esperienze di gioco in generale. La mia carriera nell'industria dei videogiochi è una naturale evoluzione del mio antico amore per i giochi di ruolo, da tavolo e dal vivo. Gioco ai GDR sin da quando avevo 15 anni, e nel 2024 ho cominciato a farlo in maniera più professionale organizzando giochi per bambini e adulti nel mio quartiere. Sono qui su StartPlaying per diffondere il mio amore per l'hobby ancora di più, per migliorare le mie abilità, e, ovviamente, per divertirmi da matti!

Creating your character
The adventure comes with four premade characters. I will link these to you when you join the game here on Start Playing, and the link will be pinned on the Discord channel so it's always available. Before the first sessions we can adapt these premade characters to your liking, or create new ones if you want!
Hi! New to roleplay games? Are you a veteran looking for something faster, cinematic and a bit over the edge? Do you fancy action tropes, gunfights, explosions and improbable and badass moves? Then look no further than OUTGUNNED! This Italian indie gem of a game is specifically made for short, impactful experiences reminiscent of action movies. Perfect to try something new! Project Medusa is a mini-adventure that should last around four or five sessions.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will give a link to the Quickstart rules of the game and to the four premade characters. Checking these out before session 0 is strongly encouraged! I'll run our games on Foundry, using the Forge VTT hosting website, so you will need to create a free account there! You'll be able to do so following the invitation link you will receive when joining the game here on Start Playing. You'll need a decent microphone and internet connection. The use of the webcam is not mandatory but is strongly encouraged!
What Andrea the Italian Storyteller brings to the table
The game is hosted on Forge VTT, a hosting website for Foundry! It will allow for digital rolls, nice backgrounds, sick music and the like! You shall also receive an invitation to a dedicated Discord server, where we can communicate before the game starts and between sessions. Outgunned is an over the edge action game, and I embrace it fully: the Rule of Cool is the north star of the game, and the rules are tools, not restrictions!

How Andrea the Italian Storyteller creates a safe table
The adventure is based around the usual tropes of action movies. There ARE going to be gunfights, car chases, explosions and similar high-tension things. Before the first actual play session, I will share with you a copy of the Monte Cook Consent Checklist. If you want you can compile it and send it to me privately to make me aware of specific problematic content that is triggering for you. I will then make sure to adapt the adventure so that it is enjoyable for everyone!
