I fell in love with this game as soon as I knew about it on Kickstarter:
Outgunned Kickstarter campaign
Outgunned is a fast-paced TTRPG that tries to recreate the mechanics of the action movies in our tables. And it does it very successfully IMHO, if I can say.
The Quickstart Guide not only gives us a glimpse of the rules, so we can have an idea of what we can expect to find in the main corebook.(once it is published), but also includes a ready to play One-Shot so we can test them (and taste them) in our tables.
At the moment of writing these lines, the "One Hero Army" Stretch Goal has been unlocked, which will allow to enjoy Outgunned with just 2 persons (a player + the GM), so we can emulate the classic one-hero movie "is all that stands between the bad guys and the world". You know what I mean: John McClain in Die Hard, Jack Bauer in 24 or John Wick in... well, John Wick movie are very good examples. I am sure you know someone who would be very happy to play Outgunned. Well, you don't need a big party anymore to enjoy this game!!
As you would have deducted by now, I have gone all-in with the Kickstarter campaign. 200.000$ and increasing, A LOT of stretch goals unlocked (which means a lot of extra items and content) and a much more surprises yet to come (or so that claim the creators). I can't recommend you to do the same thing as me but I can recommend you, at least, to take a look at such successful Kickstarter campaign. You have the link at the beginning of this review. What could possibly go wrong with that?
