I am leaving this note here because I have too many physical notes scattered about and I am worried that if I write another one I'll misplace it and fail to do any of the following, which is:
- Figure out the difference between Broken Compass and Outgunned.
- Find out if either are available outside of backing their crowdfunding projects, i.e. are they in any stores, physical or online?
- Find out if anyone outside of playtest groups actually plays these games and, if so, what do they think?
- Assess the odds of the task resolution rules. Do they feel right in play? Are they satisfying?
- Decide whether to back Outgunned Adventure, the "pulp" supplement.
Does anyone reading this have any opinions or insights?
[Edit: I don't think I'll bother with this game. As far as I can tell, they are crowdfunding Outgunned Adventure when they haven't even fulfilled the orders for Outgunned yet. This does not inspire confidence. The fact that their quickplay rules are neither well-written nor well-proofread gives me further pause. Besides, I am more interested in exploring the subject matter of a genre rather than the conventions of a genre as it is portrayed in a single medium (in this case, film), and Outgunned is clearly an attempt to adapt the latter. The novelty is not worth the price or the wait. 2024-05-24]
