Scum and Villainy RPG

Scum and Villainy RPG is a tabletop roleplaying game set in the sci-fi underworld of space smugglers. The rulebook is in English.

Unwise deals. Blaster fights. High adventure among the stars.

Scum and Villainy is a Forged in the Dark game about a spaceship crew trying to make ends meet under the iron-fisted rule of the Galactic Hegemony. Work with your crew to thrive despite powerful criminal syndicates, warring noble families, dangerous aliens, and strange mystics. Explore the ruins of lost civilizations for fun and profit. Can your motley crew hold it together long enough to strike it big and ensure your fame across the sector?

Scum and Villainy is a stand-alone RPG based on the Forged in the Dark game engine (Blades in the Dark). In this book, you’ll find:

• A clear gameplay structure that focuses on the crew's criminal undertakings. A session consists of a job followed by recovery, downtime projects, and advancement.
• Ship “character sheets” that allow for XP spending, upgrades, and leveling up alongside your characters.
• Crew advancement opportunities that reflect the journey from a ragtag group barely flying in the black to a reputed crew with a name across the sector.
• Forged in the Dark tools that keep the focus on the action of the job rather than extensive planning.
• Character and ship types to help you create a unique and interesting crew at light speed.
