A pivotal moment in Lancers timeline. You will embark as one of three factions on a mission to claim the shores rich and abundant worlds in the name of your people. Fight for Harrison Armory, the Karrakin Trade Baronies or as apart of Union itself to decide the fate of mans last frontier. This campaign is a player driven experience, you will be in charge of what missions you pick, who you work for and the direction you wish to take the campaign. This will be a game with a lot of powerful roleplay moments from political intrigue to exploring uncharted worlds. I have spent hours crafting the VTT environment to provide a smooth and immersive experience for you, this includes a fully animated and interactive map, accessible to you at any time where you can view the planets of the shore and read important information. All my combat maps are in the isometric perspective and I have utilised animations and sound effects for attacks and NPC's. I have access nearly every official and 3rd party lancer module and sourcebook at my disposal. LCPs included. "You are a lancer, an exceptional mech pilot among already exceptional peers, and you live in a time where the future hangs as a spinning coin at the apex of its toss – the fall is coming, and how the coin lands is yet to be determined." *Note that due to this campaign being run through foundry VTT using a wide array of mods from isometric to particle effects please ensure you can meet the system requirements to run Foundry VTT

About me
When I was around 10 years of age I was handed a copy of the 1983 Dungeons and Dragons basic rules (a copy that I still have to this day). Since then I have been captured by the fun of running all kinds of pen and paper games, consistently improving and trying to create the most fulfilling gaming experience I can. Since starting here on Startplaying, I have learned so much and improved my games tenfold in a bid to create something truly memorable for everyone who joins my table. I work hard at detailing every aspect of my games and ensure that they are to a standard that is above and beyond what you find at most tables. This is a process that has no true end and to that degree I am always looking for feedback and ways to improve the experience wherever I can. Please take a look at my games which are currently recruiting and see if there is any that interest you, all of my tables are a inclusive and welcoming space for anyone who wants to play. I work hard to create a community that is friendly and helpful to everyone who decides to join us.

I've been playing Cyberpunk pbp with JJ as a GM for a couple of weeks now. I find him to be an engaged GM who has dangled some interesting situations and plot hooks in front of me almost immediately. He is quite responsive and engages most days. The pbp format is nice because it can happen on different schedules without set times, which I appreciate. Can't speak for his other games, but if I'm judging based on my few weeks of him running CPR for me, I'd say he's well worth the few bucks.

I finished my campaign with JJ. My full experience can be summed up in this way. JJ walked me through the learning process smoothly and was always open to my questions when I had them. I was given a lot of creative freedom with my character and was given chances to shine and be the best I could be. If you're thinking of someone to have a first go at this with, I recommend JJ wholeheartedly. Not only a great teacher but a fantastic, inclusive DM who will help you stand out and have those moments where you're the main character.

JJ is a great GM. I've played with him in Lancer, Masks, and Cyberpunk Red. He puts a lot of effort into his games and the production quality and keeps things running at a fun, brisk pace.

Review from one of his lancer games - it is a very engaging combat heavy game but still manages to weave a great story throughout. As my first lancer game, I was able to learn the system very quickly thanks to this game.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure: You have a stable internet connection and a operational clear microphone You are able to meet the minimum system requirements to run foundry VTT I highly recommend using a chrome based browser as all of my scenes feature some form of animation which can crash other browsers
What Games Master JJ brings to the table
I will bring my version of Foundry VTT which has been finely tuned to run lancer. I have a Retrograde minis subscription as well as access to most of the Lancer core and third party books. Anything I dont have I can purchase for the game. I have a good amount of experience with the lancer system and I foster a chill and light-hearted table, you will find I am pretty easy to talk to.
