Thank you! Took a little work to figure out how to achieve it but it's worked really well across the board. -

Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that a 3rd edition of Sabre is well underway! The two main manuals (scifi and fantasy) are 95% complete, and I'm mostly building npc templates lately for our beta games. There's still some art I need to do as well, including finishing off the bestiary art (finally!) The main aim of 3e is to simplify the system, but also to allow print-on-demand versions to happen as well. I want a nice set of hardcover books to sit on my shelf! So I'm pulling out all the stops to make this a sleek and beautiful system, and it's coming along really well 🙂 Here's a sample of the fantasy style, with art that blends into the parchment background. ETA is probably March next year. -

Clearly you're a person of good taste! 😄 Hope you like what you read. I'm working on a 3rd edition of the system now that will be print-on-demand right out of the gate, plus it'll be more refined, smoother, faster etc. Ultimate edition 🤩 -

A quick update Things have been a bit crazy around here lately as Melbourne goes into a heavy lockdown. Coupled with the coldest winter in my lifetime and juggling a few jobs, it's been hard to keep on with work. Having said that, I'm still getting some done on the Feydwiir Atlas when I can, and it's starting to come together. It's also a bigger project than I thought it'd be, so there's plenty to do. I've finished the updated maps today, with the overall style shown here: Anyway I better get back to it, stay safe everyone. -

Just dropping a message to say I've revised the old free 1st edition intro module to suit 2e, which you can check out at this link if you're looking for a quick intro to the system -

You choose a profession when you make your character and stick with it. The only "multi-class" option is the Prodigy/Magical Prodigy, which lets you take two spell systems/two technical skills. In earlier iterations of the system, there was the old Background/Career character build process which was far more freeform, but we found that most people had huge overlaps on skill sets. "Who has Mechanisms? (everyone puts up their hand). So What I ended up doing was going halfway between that and the Class system, so there's definitive 'lanes' of advancement and skill sets with much less overlap, without losing too much of that freeform nature. A Knight can still learn Mechanisms if they want, but that's hardly the focus of their abilities. -

Oh, sorry I put it in the wrong place 😟 Not sure if I can move it myself or if a mod can do that for me, but that would be better, yes -

It's a little involved setting them up for print on demand. I do plan to get to it, but for the past few years I've been making use of the digital form to have a 'living document' which evolves as the system does. Sabre's in a good place now so I hope to have print editions done at some point, but right now I'm ironing out the bugs and such -

Thanks, yeah go ahead and review the system if you like! You can use the Sabre logo up the top if that helps. Sorry for the confusion, I updated the OP with the reference to OGL -

Oh, sorry no it's using the WOTC OGL. Just noticed there's a new BRP OGL too, bad timing on my part apparently!
