Free League Publishing released its revised and updated hardback edition of Frontier Scum, the Acid Western tabletop roleplaying game by Karl Druid. Available now via the Free League webshop for $39.99 with instant PDF access, as well as hobby stores worldwide, this edition, called More Rulebook, includes the original release alongside additional backgrounds, name tables, and optional rules for gun hands.
A self-destructive, violent, and LSD-infused take on Spaghetti Westerns, Frontier Scum casts players as wanted outlaws making their mark on the unreal Lost Frontier. Inspired by films including El Topo, Dead Man, and Bone Tomahawk, the game offers a rough-and-tumble world of insatiable greed, strange relics, bounties, odd jobs, and danger around every corner.
Inside the hardback edition, players will find:
- Core rules and an introduction to the Lost Frontier
- Character creation guidelines, including guns and stolen horses
- The complete adventure Escape the Organ Rail
- Tables and tools for NPCs, hunting, carousing, bounties, odd jobs, loot, and strange relics
- 19 additional backgrounds (for a total of 31), name tables, and optional rules for gun hands
“Frontier Scum has become a beloved tabletop RPG over the years, and we are excited to be publishing a new edition of the game,” says Free League co-founder Nils Karlén. “While it’s not designed by us, the work of Karl Druid embodies everything Free League aspires for, including immersive world-building, imaginative character creation, and exciting campaigns for players to gather round and enjoy.”
