THEY TRIED TO SACRIFICE YOU TO THEIR GOD. THEY FAILED, AND NOW, BLESSED BY A RIVAL GOD WITH THE POWER OF THE GUTGUN, YOU WILL TEAR THEM DOWN.

YOUR GUT IS YOUR GUN. YOUR GUN IS YOUR GUT.

GUTGUN?

GUTGUN is a solo TTRPG (table-top role-playing game) 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. 

GUTGUN is designed to feel like a forgotten sister to these games, and to make you, the player, feel like an unstoppable force of nature. 

THE GAME

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?

MODDING

Want to make your own CAMPAIGNS, ENCOUNTERS, GUNS, ENEMIES, CHEAT CODES, or other supplemental content for GUTGUN? Want to make an entirely new TTRPG that’s based on GUTGUN’S mechanics? 

You’re free to do so! Just make sure to use your own words (rather than copy/pasting mine), and include the following text somewhere in your work:

This PRODUCT is FULL OF GUTS, based on or inspired by the GUTGUN TTRPG by GRACE GITTEL LEWIS. This PRODUCT is not directly affiliated with GRACE GITTEL LEWIS in ANY WAY.

You may also use the FULL OF GUTS logo below, which you are free to pop somewhere on the cover, inside the credits, in a margin— wherever you like! You can find the logo free to download on this page below, alongside several variants.

Aside from this logo, please refrain from reusing my art and other assets in your published material!

As long as you keep all of that in mind, you’re free to publish and even sell your own GUTGUN content! Please share it with me if you do, I’d love to see what you make!

I plan to release a full, proper SDK (SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT KIT) that goes over the design philosophy behind GUTGUN, and how I’d recommend approaching whatever you make with it. I’ll probably include some tools to make it easier, too! Follow my itch here to hear about that as soon as it's released!
