Each pilot has a custom vehicle created from the ground up to suit their desires. The base frame can be humanoid, a more traditional vehicle, or something completely bizarre! They can be equipped with holo-projectors, grapnel anchor tools, missiles, and much more. Take advantage of your vehicle's Quirks (such as Loads of Guns, Exposed Boosters, and Ominous Appearance) to more effectively overcome obstacles. Or lean into your machine's faults for XP! Bombard, Scan, Maneuver, and more to deal with threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are several pilot types players can choose from, each facing The War in a unique way, and all have a powerful vehicle to command.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pilots are part of a squad, which is created through a consensus by all the players. Just like a pilot, the squad gets a “character sheet”. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Every part of Beam Saber pulses with love for the mecha genre, and makes it fun to play. Vehicle Quirks make the problems and potential of giant robots exciting parts of the action; Cutting Loose with the other players helps grow relationships among your PCs through tense and tender moments between missions; and Pilot Drives ask each player 'what do you want so bad that you’ll risk getting into that coffin of a cockpit one more time. And then one more time after that...' Every one of these makes it feel like you're in a Gundam anime--it's clear Austin knows and loves the mecha genre and Beam Saber brings it to life at the table.\" - Mobile Suit Breakdown\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Beam Saber is the mech anime RPG I've been looking for for years.  Detailed and customizable, but also streamlined and easy to pick-up and  play.
