Lloyd Dupont Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 One question for Savant though.. I noticed some Talent are Professional Talent, i.e. you need the profession to acquire the talent... how does one acquire a new profession?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savant1974 Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) 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. Edited May 1, 2020 by Savant1974 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seneschal Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 So, would your promotional efforts be considered ... Sabre-rattling? 😃 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Evil Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I picked up the first edition ages ago and enjoyed it. I'll need to pick up the new version and see what's changed. It's good to see a fellow Aussie working on something this ambitious! The use of the OGL is great - it means we can pick apart the system and use the bits we like...bwahaha! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savant1974 Posted June 4, 2020 Author Share Posted June 4, 2020 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savant1974 Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 There's a new devblog covering progress on the atlas, and a new update for the system 😀 devblog link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savant1974 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savant1974 Posted August 14, 2021 Author Share Posted August 14, 2021 It's been a while since I've released a new Sabre manual, but here's the new one for high-end adventures! I'll get back to work on that Atlas now, I realllly want to get it out of my brain 🙂https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/367592/Sabre-RPG-2e-Fantasy-Legends 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassneedles Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 I just bought everything off DriveThruRPG for what is a pretty silly reason. Your company name is what my D&D Campaigns group is called (I was outvoted on Care Bears). I mean I didn't just buy it because of that coincidence but that got me to click on the thread and then the system looked pretty interesting! Going to go have a look through now along with the new Cthulhu book released today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 🤩 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savant1974 Posted December 14, 2021 Author Share Posted December 14, 2021 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
