GUTGUN: A solo boomer shooter TTRPG
GUTGUN emerges from the bowels of development to public release!
GUTGUN is a solo TTRPG that translates the blood-pumping fun of a classic PC shooter to tabletop. You are a lone force of nature tearing through whatever gets in your way.
This is a game for those who enjoy classic PC shooters (AKA “boomer shooters”) such as DOOM, Quake, or even modern titles such as DUSK, Forgive Me Father, and ULTRAKILL.
In order to evoke the feeling of playing boomer shooter— being a force of nature that is always mere moments away from death— GUTGUN's combat is designed for speedy action that forces you to make quick, risky decisions that could save your life— or end it. The GUTGUN is a part of you now, and every shot fired uses your own lifeforce. ENEMIES, in turn, drop varying amounts of SOULGUTS that replenish your health.
GUTGUN is played via a linear CAMPAIGN, split into EPISODES and MISSIONS. The final MISSION of each EPISODE has you face off against its BOSS. Each MISSION is divided into various ENCOUNTERS, which offer a variety of challenges such as unique ENEMIES, TRAPS, and MODIFIERS.
Combat is played along a horizontal track, evoking the same feeling of tunnel vision found in fast-paced boomer shooters.
To come out the other end alive, you'll have to tactically utilize your expanding ARSENAL of GUNS, while managing your very HEALTH as ammunition. What ENEMIES do you kill first? The deadliest? Or the easiest— so you can siphon their SOULGUTS to keep your ever-precious HEALTH sustained a moment longer?
GUTGUN is now available for digital download! You can find it on itch.io here, or via the embedded link below. A print on demand release via DriveThruRPG is on its way soon, too.
