The Mouse and the Mountain

Two new pilot playbooks for the Beam Saber roleplaying game

---

The War encompasses everyone - soldiers, spies, commanders, heroes, doctors and diplomats. Most of these people take it as it comes. Not you. You've got a perspective like no one else. That makes you different. That makes you dangerous.

The Mouse and the Mountain started from this genre-busting question: a brave, bold quest that no one had, hitherfore, been brave enough to ask:

• "What if a mech was very small?"

The principle of thesis and antithesis mandates that we must therefore consider the alternative possibility:

• "What if a mech was very big?"

The Mouse and the Mountain is the synthesis of these ideas: two playbooks, based around the fundamental assumption that these pilots are piloting mechs that operate on different scales than everyone else on the battlefield. 

• The Mouse is a small, scrappy, hopeful pilot with a knack for getting into hard-to-reach places, sabotaging enemy resources, and making themselves scarce before things get bad. They're perfect for a brave, heartfelt pilot who wants to help without being a frontline fighter.
• The Mountain is a icon of the battlefield: a stalwart, aloof pilot who commands a vehicle unlike any other. Their towering Vehicle inspires fear and awe in allies and enemies, and serves as a centerpiece for any battle they choose to be a part of. A champion at defense and protecting valuable assets, the Mountain is perfect for pilots who want to struggle with being devoted but disconnected from the ground forces of the War.
