The Sword, The Crown, and The Unspeakable Power

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

The Sword, The Crown, and The Unspeakable Power (SCUP) is a dark fantasy role-playing game from Wheel Tree Press. Reminiscent of the A Song of Ice and Fire or First Lawbooks, SCUP focuses on power, politics, and intrigue in a setting you create using a unique world building exercise. Built on the Powered by the Apocalypse system developed in Vincent and Meguey Baker’s game Apocalypse World, SCUP is designed to let players get their hands dirty in scheming, conniving, and backstabbing. Take control of powerful sorcerers, regal nobles, and hardened warriors as you plot your rise to glory. Will others step on you as they ascend the social hierarchy? Or will you hack and claw your way to be the one who wears the crown?

Is an hardover option still something we can expect at some point? Thanks!

It might be a good idea to include the character sheets, quick reference etc. as a downloadable file here on DriveThruRPG. I know I can download it on your website, but having everything in one place is convenient. Also, if your website becomes unavailable, the files are still here.

Could you maybe elaborate on what the individual PC resources are? To give us more of an idea what Strategic positioning is, or how Skill can be threatened.

Hi there, this is Todd, one of the authors. Sorry for the delayed response, I just saw this. I'm a little uncertain what you mean, here. If you're interested in talking about this, consider hitting up the Wheel Tree Press Facebook page and asking the question there. I check that pretty regularly, and would be happy to try to suss out what you're asking and talk about it over there!

Any plans for a hardcover?

Good question. The hardcover would actually require a whole different layout as our book was initially laid out for a size that Drive Thru doesn't do hardcovers in. This would be some extra money and work so RIGHT NOW we're probably not looking at a hardcover.

There definitely will be a PoD version coming shortly!

(Sorry about the delay in replying, I was on vacation!)

I am really interested in this game, but I was curious if there will be a print on demand version? Sadly I missed the kickstarter to be able to get a physical copy.

So, is there going to be a PoD option ? When ?

Probably wishful thinking here, but is there any chance that this product could be switched to a regular PDF from a watermarked one? PbtA games are typically watermark-less and it's a big reason why I love them.

Hey there! I genuinely have no strong feelings about this so... YOU GET YOUR WISH! I just changed it. Enjoy!

Thank you so much! This feels like winning a radio contest (or at least what I imagine it feels like).

Is the pdf watermarked again? I was willing to buy it, but I have strong feelings against watermarks, and I was wondering why it changed back from regular to watermarked.

Despite it saying otherwise, the PDF is NOT watermarked. Just downloaded it seconds ago and it looks good.

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.
