The Western Expansion has failed. Greed, sickness, cruelty, and waste radiate from the colonies on the Lost Frontier. And you, unfit even for that.

About the adventure
Hi, my name's Mars! I'm an amateur DM who prefers improvised and conversational roleplaying to prepared and pre-written adventures. I want to try out the Aces & Eights system without the baggage of a historic Old West setting. So I'm bringing in the Lost Frontier, the setting from Frontier Scum, in its place. Expect a pre-apocalyptic tone, lots of crunchy gunplay and combat, and a gentle seasoning of the truly supernatural as your cowpoke tries to carve out a place in the world slightly larger than their own grave. About Frontier Scum... Based on the OSR hit Mörk Borg, Frontier Scum has you play as the poor souls written off by old west society. Outlaws, with no protections but all the same needs, who must do exactly what they can in order to survive. The Westward Expansion has failed, and disasters mundane and otherworldly now plague the settlers left in the dust. Find your way to glory, or comfort, or your grave; you'll end up there eventually, after all. --- A game about outlaws and their acts of wanton survival on a lost frontier. Just as games may draw inspiration from sword and bow times, Frontier Scum draws inspiration from gun and hat times.

Storytelling
Just wanted to say thanks to Mars for being such a great GM! I'm really loving our Blades in the Dark sessions—only three sessions in, and I'm already hooked. I especially appreciate how patient they are, always taking time to explain things clearly. They've made it super easy for me to get into the game and feel comfortable at the table. Excited for the next session!
Character creation
Creating your character
Character Creation is quick and almost automatic, a mercy as they don't tend to last long. You can adjust your character after creation, if you really dislike what you got.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You should have a Discord account and a working mic and headphones.
What Mars brings to the table
I'll set up my Discord Server with everything we need to play, and bring any materials we may need digitally. Players should prepare to manage their character sheet themselves, though I'll advise on how to do that whenever needed

Safety
How Mars creates a safe table
We'll have establish any Lines and Veils before playing, and I'll teach and encourage the use of the X, N, and O cards. After sessions, we'll be able to give eachother Stars for things we loved, and Wishes for things we'd like to see changed.
