- This video goes into the mechanics, the layout, the style and the extras that are included in the pre order Red Ink edition of the popular Frontier Scum RPG. If you are on the fence about if this is for you, check out the video to find out!
I included this on my playlist of Solo RPG's as this is an IDEAL system for solo play, with player facing rolls and content generation tools for days!

A bonus vid this week? I like the look of this but haven't been able to get one into my hands. I played Boot Hill back in the day which was... fine. This does look less hernia inducing than Weird Frontiers, though less weird (more acid). It puts me in mind of the film Ravenous. Cheers, man.
Hernia inducing is right! I was a late backer on Weird Frontiers. I sold my copy because the physical book was so unwieldy, the new version split in two books was a good decision. Back to Frontier Scum though, that is a great throw in the bag for a con game, or a good choice for solo play.
Started working a few weeks ago so got a lot less time to watch my ever-expanding backlog
However, this one really got me interested and I watched it as soon as I could
And you definitely didn't disappoint and this just went on the top of my list for my birthday in front of Mythic Bastionland, Vaults of Vaarn and Rōnin because of availability and release in physical format
This is very right up my alley and since I have DCC's Weird Frontiers I can weirdify it whenever I want
Congrats on the job and glad I could help you to decide if the game was for you. I really like it. The system is simple enough that you could really do a lot with it, but the tone is really great for a spaghetti western vibe.
@@booksbricksandboards783 thanks, it's my first and it's going very well
Thanks again 😊
Love simple system with lots of random tables
@@booksbricksandboards783 thanks², it's my first job and it's going extremely well
I like it a lot as well, love simple systems with random tables and love getting inspired by movies / games and other media
OK I missed the KS for this one. My RPG KS source had to be changed at a time lol Cause that is my kinda game. first time I see it and the presentation is as superb as RDR2. Which is a total compliment.
Man RPG in 202X is really becoming fantastic !!!
so MANY good games so few time.
The general problem with western ambiance, I say that because Westerns are AWESOME, but you cannot compare old John Waynish western, with Sergio Leone's one. and I always got people leaning one on side of the spectrum or the other. My first plays with old Deadland was precisely pretty westernish. John Wayne style, so without too much weirdness cause one of my player was HUGE on western and asked me for no weird stuff AT ALL. A town. A bad guy surrounding it with his desperadoes. Never fail.
Here the western presentation of the game... 10 out of 10. (better even than old Deadland)
The PBTA... 10 out of 10
I put it on my wishlist on DriveThrough
RDR 2 is a great comparison for this game. I could see someone taking their version of Arthur and playing a regular RPG with him using this system.
Did you ever get a chance to play Aces & Eights? Probably my favorite Western RPG. Also LOVE Frontier Scum. Lucked out with a copy a while back.
I did! I actually had Aces & Eights Reloaded and the version of Hackmaster that used the same system… I had a pretty negative experience with Jolly Blackburn’s customer service, specifically him claiming things were shipped that weren’t, me proving it to him with tracking information and then him literally saying, “ok Boomer” in response on a public forum… so, between that and not having anyone besides myself willing to deal with the innovative but cumbersome mechanical aspects of the game, I decided to sell it. It was actually a pretty interesting game and a beautiful book, but when I have a bad customer experience like that, I lose the ability to enjoy the material… I eventually got my stuff from him when the items really shipped, weeks after he claimed they were sent, but the experience spoiled it for me. Glad you got a chance to enjoy it, the targeting and initiative systems were great, and the inclusion of historical figures was very cool.
Great videos as always. Silly question maybe, but have you tried gamebooks? Lone wolf? Fabled lands? Fighting Fantasy? There are so many but the on I think you might enjoy is Expeditionary company. A 3 tomes gamebook.... let me know what you have tried... if any
I have played Lone Wolf when I was a kid, I have all the Fabled Land books, and I have eyeballed but never bought Expeditionary Company. I’ve also played the Four Against Darkness games. Of them all, I think I like Four Against Darkness the best. Fabled Lands was ambitious and interesting, but I did feel like it tended to get to be a grind at times.
@@booksbricksandboards783 they say Vulcanverse gamebook, by same authors of Fabled Lands, solved most of this problems. Grinding... feeling like an alien that got dropped into a world with no attachments to anyone. There is the Legendary Kingdoms that are interesting also.
@@sebastianruizromo637 I looked at Legendary Kingdoms, looked interesting as well!
