The beta version of Starport Scum is now available. Clocking in at just over 30 pages, the beta is essentially a complete game: You get the basic game rules, a few sample characters to get you started and all the toolkits (in their early versions) to build weapons, character traits and more. What you don't get is the random character creation, campaign rules and all the various random tables. If you're looking for fast space adventure skirmishing with a minimum of fuss, give it a look. The beta is on a "pay what you want" basis. Grab it for free or pitch in a few dollars to support development, your call. Hope to see you in the frontier colonies! link |

I'm curious how this is different from your 5 Parsecs from Home rules? It sounds like the same sized game. |

Its about the same size, but a more conventional system and more aimed at player created characters, than random ones (though there'll be random ones later) |

btw, there was an error on the firing tables. Its fixed now, so download your file again or just cross out the reference to "make a saving throw" in the table. |

Beautiful cover art Ivan almost like those old scifi books I used to get from the library in the 70s and early 80s. |

Thanks! The artist really knocked it out of the park. |
