Tatooine Manhunt – for Outgunned!

I’ve been doing a fair bit of adapting old “classic” adventures for modern systems recently – this was one that I did from the old WEG d6 Star Wars system into Outgunned! Here’s the notes for it – presented, as usual, in pretty raw form – if you’re a Patron, you can get the pregens I used for it too! (They’re the same as the Strike Force Shantipole ones, if you’ve already downloaded them).

I’ve included the CATS that I did with the session – just to encourage more people to do this explicitly in one-shots; it really helps to put everyone on the same page with the game. You’ll need, as with Strike Force Shantipole, both a copy of Outgunned! and the original adventure to use this – you should be able to get away without Action Flicks for this one, as there’s no starship combat in it.

While you’re reading this, I should tell you about my Patreon. Patrons get access to content 7 days before they hit this site, the chance to request articles or content, and the chance to play in one-shot games, for a very reasonable backer level of £2 per month.

Strike Force Shantipole – for Outgunned!

I’ve been doing a fair bit of adapting old “classic” adventures for modern systems recently – this was one that I did from the old WEG d6 Star Wars system into Outgunned!

Outgunned!?

Outgunned is a game of cinematic action films – it uses a funky d6 dice pool where you’re just looking for matches, regardless of the numbers on the dice – get a matched pair, and you’ve a Basic success, a triple and it’s a Critical, and so on. It uses enemy tracks for both chases and fights, and has some neat – if a bit fiddly in an online game – reroll mechanics where you can risk successes you’ve got for better successes.

It’s available here, or in print here. It’s also got some genre packs in its Action Flicks books – including Star Raiders, which is definitely Star Wars with the serial numbers filed off. So, armed with a download of the original adventure – Strike Force Shantipole – I’ve got my conversion notes below.
