Below are various resources I created over the past year to facilitate playing the Outgunned RPG online.
Google Sheets based Character Sheet
This Google Sheet includes a blank Outgunned Character Sheet, a sample character, as well as a Director Sheet and Mission Sheet. They all include the same information as the official PDF counterparts and try to replicate the color scheme and design, but of course slightly restructured to adapt to the browser (as vertical scrolling is more natural than horizontal scrolling).
One last note: The Google Sheet has since been updated and now includes a Director Sheet and Mission Sheet in addition to the Character Sheet. So this coupled with the new Discord bot should be everything you need to play Outgunned online.
I hope this is useful. I know I’ll be getting a lot of use out of this myself, as Outgunned remains one of my favorite games.
Discord Dice Bot
I also created a Discord dice bot to play Outgunned, Household, or other RPGs using the Director’s Cut system from Two Little Mice.
The Github page linked above has an invite link to add the bot to your Discord server. The usage should be largely self-explanatory, but there’s some info on the page, and there’s also a built-in /help
command.
The bot shows “Re-roll”, “Free Re-roll”, and “All In” buttons when appropriate. (Of course, it can’t know whether your character possesses a Feat that grants them the ability to do a Free Re-roll in the specific circumstance, so this button always shows up as long as there are non-matched dice in the result.)
After performing a Re-roll, a thumbs-up/down indicates whether the re-roll improved on the original roll or not. If not, one of the previous successes is automatically removed and indicated as LOST in the message. Similar for Free re-roll, except that these don’t have a risk of losing a previous success. And All In rolls that don’t improve on the result lose all previous successes.
In case you run into any issues, or have any suggestions for improvement, please feel free to submit an issue on the Github repository above.
Note: There is also an official Outgunned Discord bot named “Botgunned”. You can see it in action in the YouTube video below. However, as you see in the video, this has some major bugs that render it unusable. That’s what prompted me to create my own bot.
Overview Video
In this video, I provide an overview of the Outgunned RPG, go over character creation, and discuss how to play the game online.
Note that this does not cover the new Discord bot I just created. I’ll try to publish a new video eventually.
