Saga Machine, our in-house RPG system, has evolved significantly since the release of Against the Dark Yogi in 2014, all the way through Age of Ambition in 2020. As we look to the future and begin to plan of new editions of our games, we aim to streamline and unify our mechanics in a way that supports our fans' preferences and makes it easy to go from one game line to another.
Throughout 2023 and 2024, we released a series of playtest packets trying out this new evolution of the system. It will see its first published release in 2025, with Shadows Over Sol: Second Edition.
Unlock endless possibilities! Whether you’re dreaming of gritty noir mysteries, epic fantasy adventures, sci-fi space operas or post-apocalyptic survival, Saga Machine is your ultimate toolkit—with flexible mechanics that adapt to any genre, any setting and any story you wish to tell. The adventure is yours to craft—so what will you create next?
Get into the action faster! Saga Machine's streamlined character creation system lets you craft dynamic, fully-realized characters in no time. Just allocate your points to your stats, skills and traits, and you're ready to dive into the adventure. Quick to build, easy to customize and robust enough to support any genre—Saga Machine puts the focus where it belongs: on having fun at the gaming table!
Saga Machine offers two great ways to play: either using a few ten-sided dice (d10’s) or a deck of playing cards! Action resolution is quick and straightforward. Just roll a die, add the relevant stat and compare this total to a target number—the higher the better! If your character has a relevant skill, you can add that too. This easy-to-grasp mechanic forms the building blocks of everything from combat, to dramatic tasks, chases and social challenges. Saga Machine is easy to learn!
Saga Machine is designed with the game master in mind, making it easier than ever to create and run engaging adventures. With streamlined systems for planning combats, presenting dynamic villains and supporting campaigns across a wide range of power levels, you’ll spend less time on bookkeeping and more time crafting epic stories.
