STARBREAKER ZERO UPDATE AND OTHER STAR ANVIL NEWS!
16 days ago – Sat, Oct 17, 2026 at 07:48:38 PM

Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to give you a quick update. Progress on writing is going really well. We have tweaked the Psionics a bit and have a working Bestiary / Threat section. Play testing is ongoing and we look forward to feedback on what we have shared.
  We also have a basic character sheet we have built. Its not quite done yet. Its going to need work as we finalize what we are doing with the rules etc. If you pop into the Discord we have a form fillable sheet pinned in the Starbreaker Zero channel!

STARBREAKER ZERO PLAYTEST DOC!
about 2 months ago – Sat, Sep 12, 2026 at 06:39:23 PM


Hello Everyone!

We have a playtest doc for you to check out. We are excited to let you get a glimpse of what's coming and don't want you to have to wait until were done to start giving feedback.

A couple of important notes.

LAYOUT
The layout isn't done yet! There are gaps and areas where we will have it all looking better for the final document. This is just better than sharing a giant wall of text and is much easier to read. So we don't yet need feedback on the layout itself.

ITS NOT DONE YET
The document isn't complete. There is enough to make some characters and and get an idea of the Talents and Psionics.  Those familiar with Year Zero could probably even use some weapons, armor, and gear from other resources to start playing a bit.

If you have something you'd like to share with us, please email us at [email protected]

Lastly, a good deal of you haven't filled out your surveys yet! If you didn't get an email from DTRPG with the link for your play test copy, this is most likely why. Get the survey filled out so the next time we send a play test you can get your copy!

Thanks for backing,
Brandon Verhalen - Star Anvil Studios

THANK YOU!

THANK YOU!
 
  Starbreaker Zero  is fully funded with 5 stretch goals!  We are excited to get the book into your hands as quick as possible. For those that are new to Star Anvil Studios, Starbreaker already exists for Savage Worlds. This means that aside from the new STARMAP, we have all the art done for this book. It also means all the lore exists as well.
 
So what's left to do? The rules conversion is what we are currently working on, and had already started before we launched the campaign. Currently the character creation section is done and we are moving on to things like weapons, gear, starship creation etc.  We will give you another update on where things stand by the end of next month. Then we should have a really good idea of when the PDF will drop.
