About the adventure
PUNCH IN, PUNCH UP: As one of the finest SDN branches, the fabled top team of the Bronx Branch works tirelessly to protect New York City. GET THAT CHECK: Inspired by the smash-hit game Dispatch, you are all employees of a private corporation tasked to protect subscribers in New York City: the premier site of SDN's business model. A NEW THREAT: Under the guidance of your dispatcher Saul, you'll fight against Nightfall, a new supervillian who commands the shadows. EARN THAT RAISE: Assemble into a team of heroes and work on everything from rescuing a cat in a tree, to stopping bank robberies and supervillains. BUILD-A-HERO: Choose from a variety of roles and tropes inspired by your favorite comic books, MCU films, and video games! Or, choose from 4 pregen options. EASY TO LEARN: Outgunned is incredibly quick to pick up, and even more forgiving to beginner players! The dice bot on Discord makes every action intuitive and straightforward. OUTGUNNED: Published by Two Little Mice, Outgunned uses a unique dice system where rather than rolling a specific number, you aim for matching dice to hit 2, 3, 4, or more-of-a-kind on a pool of d6s. RULE OF COOL: Though the book's rules always have a place at my table, I will always decide in favor of what fits the narrative best! BEGINNER FRIENDLY: I've introduced dozens of players to a variety of systems and love to bring new people into my favorite hobby!

About me
Hello! My name is Jared (known online as Jerd) and I've been running and playing tabletop games since 2016. When a group of friends expressed interest in learning Dungeons & Dragons, I volunteered to DM a homebrew 5e game, which set me on a long and incredible path into gaming. During the pandemic, I took my hobby online and played almost daily. Though most of my TTRPG experience is in the fantasy genre (D&D 5e/5.5e, Pathfinder 2e, Daggerheart, etc.), I have also run World of Darkness systems including a Berlin-based Vampire: The Masquerade play-by-post (running now for 2+ years!), and newer systems like Outgunned and Shadowdark. I particularly enjoy horror games such as Mothership, Alien, and Candela Obscura.

Creating your character
- PDFS INCLUDED: As a player, you will be provided with the new Outgunned Heroes rules, including 4 pre-generated character options! You will not be able to take the Marvel or the Prodigy as a Role. - HAPPY TO HELP: If you have any questions or issues throughout drafting your character, let me know and I am happy to assist with any and everything! - FREE SESSION 0: We will meet as a table to go over character relationships, backstory, and expectations! Billing will not begin until the first full session. - BACKSTORY DRIVEN: Though the narrative will have an overarching through-line, your PC's background, motivations, and relationships will drive the story.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to Discord for voice chats, dice rolling, and visual aides. I will provide the rules via PDF as well as pregen character sheets!
What Jared brings to the table
NO MATERIALS NEEDED: I will provide the core rulebook and character sheets for use! I'll also host an easy-to-use dicebot for Outgunned's rules system. FICTION FIRST: My tables are focused on the narrative, where rule of cool always plays a key role in deciding what happens. SETTING THE SCENE: I provide visual aides for locations, characters, maps, and more! Music references are provided but 100% optional.
