Beam Saber is a Forged In The Dark game 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. If you want to purchase the PDF alone, go to https://austin-ramsay.itch.io/beamsaber

BACKERKIT STORE
If you or a friend missed the chance to back at a tier that gets you the physical book, you can now get your own print copy pre-order through the Beam Saber BackerKit Store! Both the Hardcover and POD versions are available for purchase, and include a copy of the PDF. The shipping rates are the same as during the Kickstarter.
If you want ONLY the PDF you can still get that through the Beam Saber Itch page!
PROGRESS UPDATE
I continue to work on the rules, which is mostly small rules tweaks/clarifications, adding examples of how the rules work, and some editing. I've received the funds from Kickstarter (thank you all once again) and have been getting in contact with the contributors as their skills become necessary. I've also been paying out the stretch goal bonuses for work that's already been completed.
It has been 14 days since I sent Character and Vehicle Backers a survey asking them for details about their Character or Vehicle descriptions. If you have received an email from me saying "Thanks for your answers" after sending in your description, then I have received your description and you can ignore this update. If you have not received that email, I am asking you to please get me the description for your character or vehicle by Wednesday April 29, 2020, so that I can sort the descriptions, and then send them off to the artist. Any descriptions received after that date will be slotted into whatever aesthetic considerations remain available.
I look forward to your answers.
I was planning on waiting for an email from Kickstarter confirming that all pledges have been collected, but according to the backer report everyone who will be collected, has been collected. So I'm going to be sending out the download keys in the next few hours.
You will receive the download key in an email from Itch.io, NOT Kickstarter. If you don't already have one, I recommend that you make an Itch account ASAP to help keep Itch emails out of your spam filter.
After you receive the PDF I would also ask that you please rate and review Beam Saber on Itch. It'll be a big help for me to get more eyes on the game.
