About the adventure
๐ฟ Do you like action movies? ๐ซ Do you wait for Christmas just to watch the re-run of Die Hard? ๐ฅ Have you ever dreamed of walking in slow-motion with badassery while everything behind you explodes? ๐ถ๏ธ 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. Race Against Time is a short introductory scenario, perfect to learn the game! 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
๐ฌ๐ง 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! ------- ๐ฎ๐น 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 รจ 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 piรน professionale organizzando giochi per bambini e adulti nel mio quartiere. Sono qui su StartPlaying per diffondere il mio amore per l'hobby ancora di piรน, per migliorare le mie abilitร , e, ovviamente, per divertirmi da matti!

Andrea is a superb GM who I highly recommend. He creates evocative settings, believable NPCs, and compelling stories. He weaves character backgrounds into his story and narrates dice rolls so they become part of the drama. He actively encourages good roleplay and player/character input into the story. He seems to be delighted when we surprise him. He also knows the rules well and how to use those rules to enrich the story - without being rule-bound: story and roleplay are still the focus that the rules support. Andrea also explains those rules well. When he runs a prewritten scenario, he makes it his own, and when he designs his own scenario, it's worthy of publication. I've been playing since the 70s, and Andrea is one of the finest GMs I have ever had the privilege of playing with.

I had a great time with Andrea playing Outgunned! He was really on top of both the game rules and the Alchemy software, and blended a fun adventure with teaching both of those to a bunch of newbies.

Andrea is an incredibly skilled Game Master who excels at encouraging player creativity and storytelling. Since I was relatively new to the system we played, I really appreciated how Andrea guided us through the rules in a way that kept the game engaging and fun. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I can definitely recommend booking a game with him! ๐

We contacted Andrea to ask if he could help us with a game we had had in mind for quite some time, and I'm so happy we did! We have been playing a Vampire The Masquerade campaign and it has already been a wonderful experience (even if we are just a few sessions in). Andrea is very inclusive and friendly while chatting and is extremely professional in his world-building, mood-setting, and storytelling. I recommend him enthusiastically!

Andrea offers a fantastic RPG experience, especially for beginners. The audio/visual support is top-notch and truly immersive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun, engaging, and stress-free VTT adventure!

I like to watch this gamemaster performing with his enthousiastic body language and a fitting background behind him. He can really blend a new player character in an ongoing campaign and group. I always will remember this wonderful introduction of my player character and roleplaying opportunities in the start of my first game of that campaign. The gamemaster always makes a lot of effort to narrate each dice roll to its best effect.
Character creation
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!
The one shot features four premade character. They come on a first-come-first-served basis, so make sure to check which ones havae already been claimed! If none of the remaining premades strikes your fancy, you can always make your own character using the easy character creation rules!
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!

Safety
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 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!
