In this campaign you will explore a forgotten world and unravel its mysteries as you battle against a malevolent force intent on resurrecting a long lost war. The module starts at level 0 and is very beginner friendly while still providing tactical challenge for more experienced players, so whether you are brand new to the world of LANCER or are a veteran mech pilot, there is something for everyone. In No Room For A Wallflower, you will explore the recently rediscovered world of Hercynia. Once rich with biodiverse life, the Second Committee transformed Hercynia into the proving ground for the first mechanized chassis Now, it is a healing world, buried and forgotten in the administrative chaos of the Third Committee’s successful revolution. Only rediscovered as the new bureaucracy addresses the loose ends left behind by its imperial predecessor, you will soon find that Hercynia holds secrets that will shock the galaxy. A scarred world is about to tell the story of its wounds… "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."

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.

Teacher
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.

What Games Master JJ brings to the table
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.

How Games Master JJ creates a safe table
We will begin with a 'soft' session 0 where we will introduce our characters and lay down some basic expectations for the game. It would be good if you could prepare a character sheet and grab some artwork for both your mech and character before the session. You can find my onboarding form here https://forms.gle/F3PY21TSqxSRWPQM6 This will help me get to know you as a player better so that I can ensure you have the best experience possible!
