[QUOTE="johnmarron, post: 9293029, member: 71504"] I'm going to suggest [URL='https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/449021/Outgunned']Outgunned[/URL], by Two Little Mice. Let's see how it meets your criteria. [LIST] [*][B]Easy to Learn:[/B] Super easy to learn! The core mechanic is add a stat and skill and roll that many d6's, looking for matching faces. The more matching faces you get, the better your success. [*][B]Story-Focused:[/B] Designed to emulate action movies, so lots of exciting moments, and more narrative than tactical. [*][B]Light on Rules:[/B] Very light rules, with a fun "push-your-luck" re-roll mechanic. [*][B]No Maps Needed:[/B] I don't think you could really use maps, with all the high-flying action going on. [*][B]GM Friendly:[/B] Super easy on the GM side. Antagonist stats are a couple of numbers and a handful of special abilities which you can get on cards to make running them even easier. Good advice on pacing for an action movie feel. [/LIST] [B]Bonus Points:[/B] [LIST] [*][B]Genre Mashup:[/B] Core game covers modern action movies, but the Action Flicks book gives tons of support for various action genres like SF, Wuxia, Cyberpunk, Supernatural, etc. [*][B]Flexible Play:[/B] Great for one-shots. Designed to do short campaigns of 6-8 sessions, but gives guidance on stringing a number of these shorter runs into a series of sequels to form a longer campaign. [/LIST] The game is only available in PDF at the moment, but should be shipping to KS backers by the end of this month, and available for sale to the general public soon after. [/QUOTE]
