A fan-made supplement for the Scum and Villainy tabletop role-playing game
Final Frontier is a “hack” or fan modification of the tabletop role-playing game Scum and Villainy by Stras Acimovic and John Leboeuf-Little.
Where Scum and Villainy‘s default setting is a space opera kitchen sink in the same vein as Firefly, Star Wars, and Cowboy BeBop, the setting of Final Frontier is a somewhat more grounded take on the genre in the same vein as The Expanse, Red Mars, and Mobile Suit Gundam.
To support this style of play, I fleshed out the setting’s factions and locations and gave them mechanics in keeping with Scum and Villainy’s design. I also added some new playbooks (similar to character classes) for new ship and character archetypes, and made some minor rules modifications such as changing the way ship upkeep works, porting over cohort rules from Blades in the Dark, and modifying the job generator and entanglements tables.
I tested these rules over the course of a short campaign and made modifications and tweaks based on this playtesting.
