The Dead Spaghetti Trilogy: a Frontier Scum adventure

Covett City. You ain’t here by no accident. Not to this hell-raised hive of screechin metal and molderin wood, lurchin out of the putrid swamp to put a spike in the eye of heaven. Not to the doorstep of Redd Bank neither. A well-known business of ill repute, folks of all walks come here to keep safe what silver and treasured trinkets they got.

Including a mysterious six-shooter you've been hired to pilfer from the vaults within...

Welcome to the Dead Spaghetti Trilogy, an epic three-book adventure for Frontier Scum, the ENNIE-winning rules-lite Acid Western roleplaying game. It begins with what seems to be a simple bank heist, but quickly spirals out of control into a map-spanning adventure that will take you and your fellow scum across the Lost Frontier and to the very doors of hell itself. 

Along the way, you'll encounter a pair of cursed six-shooters, underground mine car chases, steampunk rail golems, well-armed crabs, Fury Road-inspired armed carriage chases, demon-powered zeppelins, a blighted hexcrawl full of encounters most curious and deadly, three towns to explore, a gunslinger contest, a trek across a frozen wasteland, and a final date with destiny itself: the chance to save the Lost Frontier—
or watch it descend into darkness.

The campaign itself consists of three digest-sized (A4) softcover booklets, each between 28 and 36 pages printed on high-quality paper with cardstock covers. Overall, it takes about 10 three-hour sessions to complete. From detailed locations, to hexcrawls, to random encounter and weather tables, to plot-driven events, to character progression mechanics, this campaign has a huge canvas to draw from.

As a Kickstarter exclusive, all Print + Digital pledges will also receive a printed copy of Mud Storm at the Crooked Spur,  a "Lost Adventure" that didn't fit into the final book two.

The campaign artwork combines Creative Commons with original drawings and paintings, some of which are available as pledges:
