Pew! Pew! A Complicated Profession / $7.99

Pew! Pew! A Complicated Profession
Publisher: Fainting Goat Games

Pew Pew! Bounty Hunters in Space is a one-shot tabletop RPG for up to seven players (and one GM).  It uses the same system (lightly modified) from Havoc Brigade by Grant Howitt. Many thanks to Grant for graciously agreeing to let us do that. (If you haven't played Havoc Brigade - please check it out.)

It's a rules-light roleplaying game, with everything you need to play (aside from dice and friends).

It's light-hearted and intended for one shots; this isn't a story about deep-seated emotional turmoil and tortured introspection. 

It's also great for new gamers, or playing online, because it's easy to pick up and quick to play.

It's a game about explosions and loads of big fights and ray guns and, maybe, maybe laser swords.  It's an excellent game to run at conventions or as an emergency pick-up game, because all the prep is already done – it's baked into the system. 

This is a game designed to tell one particular story: a rough and tumble bounty hunter squad tracking down a target in a sci-fi fantasy western setting.

Pew Pew! is built for speed. So all the characters are all pre-generated, so the GM should hand them out at the start of the session and the players can pick which ones they like. BUT - it's a simple system - so chargen is pretty easy. A blank character sheet is included.
