What is this?

FRONTIER SCUM is a rules-lite Acid Western roleplaying game. An auto-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.

What's in the book?

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.

I loooove the graphic design and layout for this book.

Had a bit of trouble getting started with CharGen ‘til I realized that d4-d4 was supposed to mean d4 minus d4. A hyphen is not a minus sign. I hope there isn’t more punctuation related confusion later.

What an amazing system. More than enough to get you going with the freedom to add your own flavor. Creating your own skills is super fun and adds verity. I cant recommend it enough.

I'm not sure about all the rules with publishing, but is there a reason DTRPG can't print hard copies? And are there future plans for another print run? Thank you.

The Frontier Scum hardcover is pretty special with its exposed binding and all - would be impossible to do with DTRPG print on demand unfortunately. The good news is there's a print run coming, will have more to share soon!

Oh yeah, I figured a physical copy through DTRPG would mean having to settle for their binding. It is great to hear that another run is in the works though!

Heya! It was available in print at Games Omnivorous website, though now sold out. Remaining copies are off to retailers around the world, including some to Exalted Funeral. So best bet is to check with your FLGS or online retailer of choice.

Page count should be 64!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
