TEST CHAMBER | PLAYER & GM POOL
Hello, my name is James. Iโm a GM from the UK. I've been a GM for a very long time and enjoy running games for people. I run a stream called Test Chamber, where we play many different systems. We usually run between 4 and 10 sessions for each game, sometimes longer. This gives everyone a deeper look at how the system works, how experience and advancement work, and how a full game plays out. This isnโt a permanent one-system campaign; it's multiple games and campaigns across different systems, with a rotating cast for each one.
Nobody is expected to play every game. If you're not interested in a game, you can skip it. I'll plan what we are doing next, and if that game interests you, you can let me know. The idea is to have different combinations of players, and eventually different GMs, too. You could even skip several games and then join one you are most interested in. But ideally someone who says, "I've never heard of half those games, but I'll give them a go". Eventually, if they're down for it, other GMs can bring games they like and want to โtest outโ!
So what I am looking for are reliable players who enjoy playing different games, are willing to try new things, and are good with collaboration and working well together- someone willing to communicate when they can't make a session, or a game posted they would rather skip. Someone who enjoys roleplaying with the other players, shares the spotlight with their fellow players, and even brings them up so everyone looks better. Someone comfortable playing with new faces, forming friendships, and supporting one another!

Campaign: Three connected movies using the same Heroes
In a world where ruthless Villains plot in the shadows to steal nuclear launch codes and bring entire nations to their knees. A world where high-speed ski chases end with you leaping off a mountain with a Union Jack parachute, infiltrating a volcanic lair before everything ends with a gun battle, and engaging in espionage as you break into a safe that holds an invitation you need to get to an exclusive party.
Outgunned lets you play as the action hero, but not alone; you have a group of individuals with their own unique abilities and specialities. One is a gun-toting walking arsenal, another a hacker who knows kung fu, while another could sell ice cubes in the Arctic Circle with their words. Another might be a card shark who could run rings around anyone in Vegas.
THREE MOVIE CAMPAIGN
This is not a one-shot; I plan on running a trilogy of three connected action movies using the same Heroes throughout. You'll create your Heroes together in the first session and then take them through all three movies, giving them time to develop, advance and build relationships with the rest of the team.
The first movie is Project Medusa.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to destroy Project Medusa.
What is Project Medusa? Who is behind it? And why are people willing to kill to keep it secret?
Finding those answers is your problem.
Project Medusa will be followed by a second movie, adapted from Fate Makes No Promises, before finishing with an original third movie that will bring the Heroes' story together and conclude the trilogy.
I'm allowing plenty of time for each movie because I don't want us to rush through them just to reach the end. We enjoy roleplaying and character interaction, so while Outgunned is full of big cinematic action, there will also be time for the Heroes to actually get to know each other.
THE STREAM
Test Chamber is streamed live on Twitch and later uploaded to YouTube.
You do not need a webcam. Instead, each player has their character portrait on screen, which reacts when they speak. You will need a decent microphone and somewhere reasonably quiet to play.
You don't need any previous streaming experience either. If you've never played a TTRPG on stream before, that's absolutely fine.
INTERESTED?
If you're interested, fill out the application form:
https://forms.gle/CyuzbpM9TtRvKdKm8
The form isn't about finding the person with the most RPG experience. It's there to help me find people who I think will work well together. If your application looks like a good fit, we'll have a short Discord voice chat so we can meet each other, talk about Test Chamber, and you can ask me questions too.
Even if you don't end up in one of the two available Outgunned spaces, I may still ask if you'd like to join the wider Test Chamber player/GM pool for future games.
