Showdown is a miniatures rules system by Pinnacle Entertainment in which players can fight out battles in any setting. Their slogan is "fast, furious, fun," meaning the game is intended to move quickly with the focus being entertainment rather than lengthy and complex.
The basic game mechanic revolves around the use of different types of dice, depending on the skill of the figure. So a novice would be rolling a d4, an average skilled person would be rolling a d6, and an expert would be rolling a d8 or higher. The system is flexible, so you can use it for pretty much any period and genre.
Showdown is also compatible with the Savage Worlds role playing game, which is the rules system for games such as Deadlands, 50 Fathoms, and Necessary Evil. Relic Worlds will soon have an RPG element, and these Showdown rules will be compatible with it.
