Rapscallion: Ashcan Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Royal Navy has been hot on your trail for weeks. The Pirate Kings want your head after you pulled off a heist that.. ahem, relieved them of a sizable amount of treasure. You know you should feel worried, but all you see—looking out across the deck of your ship—is the vast blue ocean. The salt air brushes against your face, softer than any lover you’ve ever had. You can’t imagine feeling more free.

Your crew might be a strange group—and you can’t say that you trust them completely—but at a moment’s notice they’re ready to sail through monster-infested waters or scale a corrupt noble’s castle walls. Pirates, through and through. Each of them ready for anything.

And you’ve got secrets of your own! Perhaps you are an escaped noble, fleeing from the burden of responsibilities. Or maybe a mechanical construct, given life by a cruel master. Either way, it’s fair to say that the night-black void orb you acquired at the last port may have an effect on your health.

No matter. There’s adventures to be had and treasure to plunder. Sail on, me ‘earties! Yo ho!

Rapscallion is a tabletop roleplaying game in which you play a rambunctious crew of pirates, testing their luck against the unpredictable winds of Fate.

3-6 players | 3-4 hour sessions | Powered By the Apocalypse | Ages 13+ |

The march of time... is it possible to confirm that this game will now be staying in its ashcan form? I think it is very good, and a great basis for a more complete game.

We had an absolute blast playing this at the Revelation PbtA convention last weekend. The rules that we have in the Ashcan are more than enough to get a flavoursome game of piratical fantasy underway me hearties! Hope we get to see the full game as it has loads of potential. Aaarrr.

Don't want to sound snarky, but since Mr Truman is involved ... when can we expect the full version of this?

Hello Patrick,
Mark and the rest of the Magpie Games team work hard to make sure that all of our games reach for the highest standards possible. We're still in consideration on moving forward with Rapscallion as a full project, but we'll be sure to keep folks informed about any developments!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
