CITIZEN SABOTEUR is a tabletop RPG that will be released for playtesting in early 2026. It uses the Forged in the Dark rule-set.

You are downtrodden survivors living under a twisted, totalitarian regime in a parallel reality of 1955. A formidable enemy known as the Red Menace occupies your homeland. Their forces are empowered by a sinister, paranormal weapon - the Arcane Darkness.

You live on a knife’s edge as you navigate a murky partisan Underworld and throw off the enemy’s efforts to find and eliminate your Cell. Your cover is a mask of obscurity, toiling for your new masters by day, and striking back at them as Saboteurs in the shadows of the night.

How you go about the enemy’s destruction and slowly turn the tide against them sits within the realms of your imagination. Plan and execute your missions together as a Cell. Fulfil your ambitions and drives to rediscover your lost freedom. Build your own faction within the Underworld and secure the resources you need before the traumas of rebellion sap your will to resist the evil around you.

Designer’s notes

Are you ready to slip onto the tightrope of a parallel reality?

The Red Menace struck without hesitation. This totalitarian regime streaked across time and space like a juggernaut. It achieved malevolent victory through a Blitzkrieg of dark and foreboding powers. There was nothing rational about what happened in 1955. As peoples of the fallen nations you watched on, helpless in the face of horrific conquest.

The enemy victory subjugated your freedom. Cities fell. Industry was seized. Family farms and whole communities were turned into the pistons and cogs of the Red Menace machine.

Yet in the gloom, embers of defiance smouldered. The watchers, the planners, the quiet cynics - those who had warned of this outcome - scrambled for any weapon still at hand. Your nation and its agencies, stripped of their armies and allies, turned to the one resource still untapped: the people themselves.

Now is the time to fight back. You are an extraordinary yet everyday person with a desire for reinvention.

And from this, the CITIZEN SABOTEUR is born.
