Just received a copy of Karl Druid's FRONTIER SCUM. It's a lot of fun! 'Acid Western Roleplaying': it's dark, it's gothic, it's folk horror, it's hilarious. I don't think I've encountered anything like it. #ttrpgs frontierscum.com @makedatanotlore.itch.io
FRONTIER SCUM
64 pages of rules-lite Acid Western roleplaying. PCs are wanted outlaw scum set loose on the Lost Frontier, a rough-and-tumble world of insatiable greed where people live one slug from the grave.

A game jam from 2026-05-12 to 2026-07-31 hosted by Karl Druid. Summer's scum early this year. FRONTIER SCUM MORE RULEBOOK was released on May 12th, 2026, and that's cause for celebration in the form o...

Woke up to a fun email today! I scanned through the new PDF side by side with the version I already had. I don't think there's a single page that hasn't been given a touch up or refresh, even if only adjusting the distress effects. Plus they added a T-Rex, so 5/5 stars from me.

Matt Monagle@monagle.bsky.social · 3mo agoIf you're a fan of TTRPGs and mondo westerns, it looks like Free League Publishing is publishing the updated version of FRONTIER SCUM, @makedatanotlore.itch.io's absolutely delightful acid western. I'm hardly a veteran of the TTRPG space, but this is hands down one of my favorites.
Hey y'all, Karl here. Just wanted to let you know the FRONTIER SCUM: Pits of Design have been updated to include a brand new set of SPLATTER BRUSHES for you to throw guttermuck and blood into your projects. Check it out 👇 makedatanotlore.itch.io/pits-of-design
BTW, on occasion I make stuff for TTRPGs I like. My latest is a full zine adaptation of my Mörk Borg pamphlet scenario, The Emperor of Teeth, retitled "The Tycoon of Teeth" for @makedatanotlore.itch.io's FRONTIER SCUM! Come'n get some, pardners!

The SCUMSLINGER (random.frontierscum.com/scumslinger) is officially released! Create FRONTIER SCUM, save as a PDF, die, repeat. Got thoughts? Feedback? Name suggestions? Bug reports? Feature requests? Put it all in a sack and send it to the FS Discord (discord.gg/hrps57qVrw)!
I've done the same. Easy killin', until the bullets run out
Dougal@doogface.bsky.social · 9mo agoTonight I will be attempting to run Frontier Scum as the good lord and @makedatanotlore.itch.io intended by making my scum outlaw players fight, run from or be devoured by dinosaurs. #frontierscum #morkborg
Here's what I've been working on the past month (typography, layout, and pre-press). As well as the twin book for the 5E version, of course.

At long last, 4 kgs of cards and wooden meat tokens 🦕 Evolution: Climate by @northstargames.bsky.social is my favorite board game of all time but this new Nature thing feels like a T-Rex sized step forward (also the inserts look like little takeaway boxes!)
Play as outlaws in the wild west that never was, replete with chain-smoking mules, eldritch revolvers and suspicious tonics. Saddle up, rascal. youtu.be/xDmb_JS3ZL0

Scum on the frontier; Frontier Scum. Alfred Valley's back with a spitwad rules summary to get you hyped about this rootin' tootin' acid western roleplaying game.
Combined my love of cowboys with my love of love letters to design a spaghetti retheme for Love Letter Turned out baller, if I may say so myself! (for personal use)

I stole the idea from @loottheroom.bsky.social and made a blog where I create PCs for the games I have in my bookshelf and write through the process. It's gonna be quick, unedited and raw but hopefully entertaining and/or informative. First up: Frontier Scum. anotherpawn.bearblog.dev/frontierscum/
Running 8 hours of FS at a con tomorrow... Pros of having books lying around: one for each player Cons: heavy 🥵
I am now a publisher. I know there are so many really great third-party MÖRK BORG titles out there that haven't had a printed version done or are obscure for whatever reason. I'd like to print them and make them more available, sell in my web shop, bring to cons etc. More will hopefully come.
MÖRK BORG@morkborg.com · last yr.MÖRK BORG CULT, rise from the abyss! Three third-party MB titles have been marked and become part of the MÖRK BORG Cult of curated content: Horrible Wounds and 1024 by vil, and Pestilent Gifts by Lettuce. All are published by Avgrund AB/Johan Nohr and released at Gothcon, Gothenburg, this weekend.
The FRONTIER SCUM Discord is only 6 members away from a positively huge milestone! Are you the chosen one? discord.gg/agWG8TVbWx
Remember the FRONTIER SCUM Scratch & Weathering Brushes? Well, I've put them into a bundle with a new TRIFOLD PAMPHLET TEMPLATE (originally made for the Scumslinger's Arsenal) and called the whole thing my Pits of Design. Free download! Gratis! Link below 👇
