FRONTIER SCUM is a rules-lite Acid Western roleplaying game. A self-destructive, violent and LSD-infused take on Spaghetti Westerns, about wanted outlaws making their mark on an unreal Lost Frontier. Probably getting shot before having the chance to shoot. A rough-and-tumble world of insatiable greed where scum live one slug from the grave. Inspired by such things as El Topo, Dead Man, and Bone Tomahawk.
Inside you will find all the rules you need to play, guidelines for creating characters along with their guns and stolen horses, an introduction to the Lost Frontier, a complete adventure ‘Escape the Organ Rail’, and tons of inspiration tables & tools for NPCs, hunting, carousing, bounties, odd jobs, loot and strange relics. All new for this edition are 19 new backgrounds, new tables for names and optional rules for gun hands.
Frontier Scum is a Karl Druid (Den of Druids) creation, with co-development by Games Omnivorous, now published and distributed by Free League.
Johan's note: It is, some would say, MÖRK BORG adjacent.
Pictures and descriptions don't properly explain how awesome this book feels in the hand or on the table. The tactile feel of the paper, the lay flat spineless design, the art style, all work together to create a book that has to be held and read to truly be understood. Leafing through the pages, it feels like your 5 o'clock shadow wants to emerge as you start to remember the smell of tanned hide and open fields. It transports you to where you want to be, right inside the stories you'll make with this book. Easily one of the most unique books of it's genre.
