Metal Sword [Free]

Metal Sword [Free]: by @mousewifegames


Metal Sword
is an "acoustic cover" of Austin Ramsay's Beam Saber, made for the Acoustic Cover Jam.  It's a fully playable Forged in the Dark game, but with simpler rules, easy to read character sheets, and less overall math than is often seen in games of this genre.

The central mechanic for building both your pilot character and their vehicle are "Quirks", which you devise similar to how you would design your vehicle's Quirks in Beam Saber or a character's aspects in FATE. Where the Stress bar exists in most Forged in the Dark games, Metal Sword merely gives narrative heft to each two ticks of stress by pairing it with a Quirk of your character.
