You are far from the center of galactic civilization of the Hegemony, and occupying this same space with you are hordes of other people and organizations that either through choice or fate ended up on the desperate edge where you find yourself. You and the other players are scoundrels, fringers on the edge of space, the Procyon Sector specifically, trying to make money by any means necessary to keep your ship flying another day until you can make that last big score and retire. The game is a member of the Forged in the Dark family which means that it uses (essentially) the same mechanic as Blades in the Dark by John Harper. Scum and Villainy is a roleplaying game by Stras Acimovic and John Leboeuf-Little of Off Guard Games that is published under Evil Hat Productions. And while I still wouldn’t say I’m quite there, I am a whole lot closer than I was. So I spent a lot of time with Scum and Villainy. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, it’s just out of my normal mode of thought.

I wanted to do a deep dive with it in a setting that felt a bit more natural than a Ghostpunk Victorian town like Duskvol. So here’s the problem: My previous encounter with this system, Blades in the Dark, left me intrigued but confused. It’s action keeps me interested and the narrative focus hits me right where I live. It hits all the right notes, it’s got all the right potential in all the right places. The reason that this one was different for me personally was that when everything is said and done, this is exactly my kind of science-fiction game. It’s not that it is even the first of its kind to use the mechanic. It’s a roleplaying rulebook with a setting attached. The reason behind that was not that this one did anything vastly different from other books. And finally, here is my recommendation about this product: Who should buy it, and is it worth the money? Occasionally, however, a product review comes along that is harder for me. Here is what they could potentially improve on. Based on extensive experience playing games, here is conceptually where I think it stands up or falls down and why. Here is what it seems to be trying to accomplish. I tend to see our job as being the faithful recorder. Most of the time, doing product reviews isn’t all that difficult.

They're all detailed in the official patch notes. The list of changes goes further and includes a new fishing system, items, and several bug fixes. Players will now encounter improved versions of day and night cycles, clouds, a more natural-feeling chance of rain, as well as moon phases that influence how far you're able to see at night.

SCUM's weather system has also been revamped in Update 0.5. They're faster swimmers than you are but if their jaws somehow end up around you, you'll still get a chance to escape through a button-mashing minigame. If you somehow end up in the water, you'll also have to deal with sharks, introduced in Scum's Dead Water update. If you're worried about running out of fuel in the middle of the ocean, worry not, as motor boats come with their own set of paddles. Since you'll need a way to reach the island and traverse the new river, you can now use motor, sail, and paddle boats to cross bodies of water.
