Beam Saber is a Forged In The Dark RPG about the pilots of powerful machines in a war that dominates every facet of life. They are trying to do their part, then get out physically and mentally intact.
The organizations that perpetuate The War throughout all of known space are too incomprehensibly huge to take down. There is no “winning” The War, there is only surviving it. Hopefully you can help others get out too.
This game is best played with 4 or 5 players, with one player filling the role of Game Master, and the other players will be the protagonists of the story.
