A self-destructive and violent 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside 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 \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1412\"\u003eAbout the game (courtesy of TTRPG Fanatics)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1412\"\u003eMechanically, Frontier Scum started as a\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1292\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003eMörk Borg-inspired\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003egame but evolved into its own thing.
