Outgunned is a game by Two Little Mice, designed to help you play out your own cinematic action films at the table. As are most of the other games we've done recently. You know, because it's Action Fiction Autumn? Anyway, this cat is one who was never prepared for the role of action hero, but just so happened to have the right skills to be a halfway decent sidekick!

Hiyah! For this installment of Action Fiction Autumn, we looked at a little game called Straight to VHS by Lost Cat Games. We made Cat Cop. She's exactly what she sounds like. She's a cat.

Action 12 Cinema by The RPG Academy is a little different from the kind of game we'd normally do on this show, but it's Action Fiction Autumn, and it just called to me! Also I think you'll forgive us when you hear all about Australian Mist, the hit new action flick from up and coming Australian director [insert audience member name here], who brings us a story about a cat who was trained to kill from birth, and is now beginning to grapple with what that means...

Ironsworn by Shawn Tomkin is an RPG about perilous quests and difficult vows, where every bit of progress is marked by the costs it took to reach it.

Tournament Arc is a GM-less RPG by Biscuit Fund Games about acting out your own sports anime! Or really, whatever tournament you can imagine.
