Current Projects: Vehicles manual &Scifi Legends

November 30th, 2023: The Starships manual for 3rd edition Sabre is out, just squeezing into my 'end of November' deadline! I'm very proud of the result, it's been tested thoroughly over the past couple of years. I plan to release a pdf with pre-made templates for use in campaigns, and a couple of ship-specific loot tables too, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

After that, I'll be working on the scifi version of the Legends manual for high-end adventures in space, as well as getting the Vehicle manual going too. These two will finish off the manual development phase of 3rd edition Sabre, after which I'll probably do a couple of adventure modules for them before turning my attention to the long neglected Atlas. Oh and I have a campaign setting in mind for the scifi game too. Big plans!

The Sabre Role-Playing Game is a tabletop gaming experience, designed to play quickly and smoothly without sacrificing too much detail or realism, with a particular emphasis on flexibility for improvised stories and (often unpredictable) player actions. It's simple to learn, yet provides robust tactical depth and role-playing support without bogging down the system in complex rules.

* A flexible profession system lets you build the character you want.
* Level-less approach to advancement provides vast scope for character improvement.
