The Lifeline: A Beam Saber Supply Drop
A downloadable playbook
It’s easy to break, to ruin, to kill… anyone with a trigger finger and a few tons of military-grade steel can do that. The War is a hungry thing, people and machines and cities caught in its jaws and torn to pieces.
That’s where you come in; to lift the rubble, to brave the flames, to carry the shattered bodies of human fucking beings out of hell and bring them back for another shot at life- or a fresh deployment back into this meatgrinder.
You’re a goddamn hero, and it’s going to get you killed.
The question is how many souls you save before the War eats you.

The Lifeline is a Supply Drop for Beam Saber by Austin Ramsay, offering a new Pilot playbook who acts as a rescue worker braving the chaos of the War to try and save people. It's inspired by my long-held desire for non-violent power fantasies, the phenomenal Rearguard project, and a wish to see more heroes who aren't killers.
If you want to rush headlong into danger for the good of others, the role of a Lifeline is for you.

One of my players took Fading Light from this playbook, and used it to great effect! They pushed themselves to a scar in order to commune with an extradimensional entity, and then used Fading Light to finish off the on-scene Rival by convincing them that the entity didn't need to be responded to with violence! A fantastic playbook.
Oh, wow - I've yet to get a Lifeline to my own table yet, so hearing part of it touched yours is really cool! I'm really glad it's doing good for y'all <3
