Description

Historians would have you believe time only moves forward, immutable and unchanging once it has flowed past the Present. But to you, that's just quitter talk. Time is just another tool in your arsenal, something to be manipulated until you reach the best possible outcome. Even the smallest changes can have huge effects in the course of the War. And if at first you don't succeed? Try, try again...


The Looper is a custom playbook for Beam Saber by Austin Ramsay, published under the Beam Saber Supply Drop license. 

The Looper is a master of the timestream, utilizing their Temporal Harness to make short leaps backwards and forward through time with their trusty Chronometer as their guide. The Looper's bread and butter is bending the timeline to their advantage, weaseling information out of their targets to use against them on another run, and skirting the consequences of their actions through time shenanigans. 

Inspired by Tracer from Overwatch, Max Caulfield from Life is Strange,  the Prince of Persia and more, the Looper seeks to encapsulate the feeling of outsmarting your opponents with quick thinking and reckless abandon, and asks: how far you will go to reach the "right" outcome?

This playbook includes everything you need to start leaping through time and changing events before or after they happen, including:

  • 8 new playbook abilities, allowing the Looper to take full advantage of their time powers
  • 9 new pieces of specialist gear, particularly designed for the intrepid time-hopper
  • Sample Histories, Tragedies, Openings, Beliefs, Allies and Rivals
  • Example builds to start your jumps through time on the right foot

Want to run a game featuring a crew of time travelers? Try the Looper out with The Breach Walker from V-for-Valensa for even more time-traveling shenanigans! Also goes great with the squad playbooks featured in Objects in Motion by J Lowe

The Looper is a Beam Saber Supply Drop. This playbook is not an official supplement and is unaffiliated with Austin Ramsay.
