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!

Bought a copy and I also feel smug about it:
“Thank you for your support! You’re an above-average supporter!”

Actually, most people who have downloaded it so far paid for it.
Usually “pay what you want”, is about one third paying and two thirds free. That’s not a bad thing, I do it on purpose so people can check it out if they aren’t sure, without putting money down.
Maybe the cover art helped 🙂

The art sold it to me almost on it’s own.
The Rogue Trader / 2000AD feel will always work well for me.
Having a quick skim helped cement the deal.
