Outgunned Adventure: The Best Action RPG Ever Made? 🤠🏴‍☠️

Welcome back to Howard's Cave of Wonder! In this episode of "First Pass," Howard locks and loads for a cinematic deep dive into Outgunned Adventure: Broken Compass Legacy by Two Little Mice and Free League Publishing. If you've ever wanted to live out your favorite blockbuster action movie or pulp adventure on the tabletop, Howard investigates if this award-winning system is the perfect vehicle. The campaign has already raised over $277,000 from nearly 2,000 backers, but Howard is here to look past the hype and evaluate if the pledge tiers make logistical sense for your gaming budget. This crowdfunding review covers: • The "Poker Twist" Dice System: Howard breaks down the brilliant, ENnie-award-winning Director’s Cut engine. Instead of math-heavy modifiers, it uses pools of $d6s$ where you hunt for matching pairs and sets to pull off absurd, high-octane stunts. • Three Historical Eras: A look at the three new massive campaign supplements: Voyages of the Extraordinaires (1850s Jules Verne sci-fi), Golden Age (1930s Indiana Jones pulp), and Jolly Roger (1720s high-seas piracy). • Archetypes Over Classes: Howard praises the character creation system, which lets you step into classic movie tropes like the "Commando," "Face," or "Librarian" without restrictive rule locks. • The Action Flicks & Add-ons: From "Dino Storm" to "Neon Noir," Howard looks at the bite-sized genre modules and optional gear, including custom bullet dice and VTT integration. • The Budget Blueprint Critique: While Howard is highly enthusiastic about the game itself, he levies a sharp critique against the campaign page for hiding pledge pricing upfront, making budget planning a frustrating puzzle for prospective backers. Ultimately, the sheer creative freedom of the system wins out, and Howard confirms he is ready to pull the trigger and pledge for the three new books.
