Alright, let’s dive into this whirlwind ride of games and adventures. Italian brains, Two Little Mice — cool name by the way — teamed up with the Swedes from Free League. Why? To unleash a game that’s like a mashup of Ocean’s Eleven and Mission: Impossible. Sounds epic, right? This magical team just dropped their first book in this adventure line, Outgunned Adventure. Think Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and Tomb Raider, but with way more chaos.
Now, we’ve got this RPG system called the Director’s Cut. Fancy name, but really, it’s about tossing a bunch of six-sided dice — anywhere from two to nine of them! Roll the same number and you’re in the money. Or maybe you’re just in over your head, facing some cartoonishly evil baddie. Failing isn’t uncommon; apparently, you can fail with style here. Get lost searching for treasure? Surprise, you stumble upon some weird artifact instead. Make too much noise sneaking around? That might just be the start of an epic smackdown with some gnarly enemy.
About that core rulebook — it’s $51 for, like, a buffet of character choices. Want to be a Scoundrel? Or a Technician? How about a Captain? Mix and match them with classic action movie vibes, and off you go. Ancient temples, traps, treasure hunts, all that jazzy stuff. And there’s this quick-start campaign — Fall of Atlantis — inspired by Disney’s own splashy version of the story. Handy for those who want to jump in with both feet. Grab an Adventure Director Screen too; it’s got all the cheat codes… okay, quick rules references, technically. Plus, for book lovers, print buys get you PDFs too — DriveThruRPG has you covered.
This whole shebang? Funded through a massive crowdfunding campaign. They raked in over €480,000 last summer! Wild, right? Now, Two Little Mice aren’t stopping — they’ve kicked off fundraising for their next genre book, Outgunned Superheroes. Already up to €224,000, and if you jump on the high pledge train, you get more Outgunned goodies — like the Action Flicks setting books and that John Wick-inspired World of Killers. Seriously, who wouldn’t want a piece of that action?
