Scum and Villainy

Unwise Deals. Blaster Fights. High Adventure Among the Stars. Welcome to the outer rim, scoundrel.

Scum and Villainy is a high-octane sci-fi tabletop RPG about a ragtag crew of misfits trying to make a name for themselves in a galaxy ruled by the iron grip of the Galactic Hegemony. You’ll smuggle, hustle, fight, explore ancient ruins, and dodge everything from criminal cartels to alien horrors - all in a day’s work.

Built on the Forged in the Dark engine (Blades in the Dark), this standalone RPG trades haunted alleyways for deep space, without sacrificing the fast-paced, fiction-first gameplay.

Why We Love It at Dicey Business:

It’s Firefly, Star Wars, and Mass Effect got into a bar fight and you get to be the one starting trouble. If you love starships, shady jobs, and laser-blasted drama, this is your TTRPG.
