Is there a Roll20 sheet in the works? I only found Solarswordsmanâs last updated 15 months ago
Currently that is the only one. There are the roll20 macros and google spreadsheet character sheets linked to in the rulebook. I have been thinking about looking into it once the rulebook is 100% solid and not going to change any further.
To celebrate the anniversary of the Beam Saber Kickstarter launch, myself and 20 other designers have put our work together for the Beam Saber Supply Drop bundle!
This incredible bundle includes lots of new playbooks, GMing guides, setting pieces and more!
Hereâs whatâs coming up for Beam Saber:
- Update to the core rulebook, probably in July.
- Update to the Growing Conflict, probably in July.
- A new campaign supplement called Stardost Memento, probably in July.
- A new setting supplement called Rush Wars, a long ways off.
The update to the core rulebook will feature fancy new layout, and squad playbook art.
The GC update will have some clarifications for the Wielder and new example vehicles, including some Transformed with art!
Stardost Memento is an entire campaign module inspired by 0083: Stardust Memory featuring new missions, NPCs, Regions, example vehicles, and art! Itâs about Jovangellian resistance fighters seeking to strike one last, desperate blow against their Norrish occupiers.
Rush Wars is a car crime movie inspired version of the real world as a setting. The primary touchstone is the Fast & Furious series, but also includes Gone In 60 Seconds, Smokey and the Bandit, Speed Racer, and Saints Row 3.
The world of Rush Wars is an AU where cars have an even greater importance than in our world. They are both an identity and a conduit for power. Those few who can tap into a carâs true potential become Heroes and Villains the likes of which havenât been seen since the Trojan War.
I hope youâre all excited about these upcoming Beam Saber updates and projects! I canât wait to show you the great art coming from Hadrian, Robohaven, QueenKhameleon, cloverbearyart, JessicaOnMain, skullvolver, and Mal Peters!
Hereâs a small taste of whatâs to come!
Iâve released a new stand alone playbook for Beam Saber: The Dracula!
The Dracula is a pilot playbook for Beam Saber. Dracula has strange and unsettling powers, but weaknesses that are equally strange. They feed on others and sleep on a bed of soil in their coffin-mech.
A new Fast & Furious inspired Beam Saber supplement has been released! Rush Wars is here!
The world of Rush Wars is an alternate universe where cars have an even greater importance than in our world. They are both an identity and a conduit for power. Those esteemed few who can tap into a carâs true potential become Heroes and Villains the likes of which havenât been seen since the Trojan War.
This book contains:
- An examination of what Beam Saber looks like in settings that are close to the real world.
- A list of suggested changes to consider when using Beam Saber in near real world campaigns.
- The Tuner Pilot Playbook; a creatively obsessed driver. (Originally appears in The Growing Conflict)
- Rules for how racing can work using Beam Saber.
- A setting inspired by car focused, real world adjacent media such as the Fast & Furious series, the Saints Row series, and Speed Racer.
