A downloadable game
Rebel Scum
2nd Edition
Check out the anti-fascist RPG banned from DrivethruRPG!
Now with entirely new art, minor rules clarifications and three new adventures!
REBEL SCUM tells the story of how scrappy, anti-fascist heroes can fight back against a government with unlimited power (including giant lasers and space magic). Inspired by a love for a certain line of 3 and 3/4 inch action figures, this is a fast paced, feel good, space opera of rebellion and adventure. In this TTRPG, characters are all expressed as action figures, with their pertinent stats and abilities "on the back of the card." Choose your toy and get out into battle!
Cinematic Action
Create your own character or grab a pre-generated character and dive into the action fast. Spend Stars to take dramatic action mid-scene, and keep an eye on the Danger level, which will increase as the game goes on. Everything is about creating movie-like space opera drama, with the players at the center of this fast-paced, exciting, revolutionary tale.
Easy to Learn
Rebel Scum runs on the Polymorph system. Each player only ever uses ONE polyhedral die: a d4, a d6, a d8, or a d10. Each die represents a different character “role” in the group. Whenever a player asks “can I do something?” they roll their die and with a quick glance at a resolution matrix, know if they succeed. It's easy for both newbies and old hats to use and learn.

I got a copy of the 1st Edition PDF from the retailer...I think they sent me an email link a few days after I bought it? I'll look through emails and try to find the actual communication.
Why do you ask? If I have access to that, does it update with the second edition?
what caused this game to be banned by DriveThruRPG?
I too would like to know.
I sincerely hope it wasn’t the ‘Punch a Nazi’ rule. 😆
Rebel Scum is a game about politics and DriveThruRPG stated they had received complaints regarding the political nature of the game. DriveThruPRG says the political content breaks their terms of service and they told us if we removed the political content we could keep the game listed on their site. We said no.
That same site still allows RPGPundit, Venger Satanis, Daniel Fox, Zak Smith, and others to keep their works up. This is absurd.
