Lancer Campaign - Operation Solstice Rain
Lancer | Campaign
About the adventure
Lancer is a futuristic post-scarcity game about mechs in space! Mechs, long the dream of every young child, are now 3d printable - though only the elite pilots, known as Lancers, are given the license to do so! You are one of them, something between a mercenary and a sheriff, corralling the worst of humanity out across the stars. For 500 years, the planet Cressidium has been isolated - and now the Union, the interstellar government from Earth, wants to bring them back into the fold. Not everyone wants to, and the arrival of the diplomatic delegation may erupt into all-out war. Work together to prevent (or cause!) that conflict with a mech of your choosing, fighting humans and Lancers alike.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

What I provide
I will have custom maps on Roll20, as that is my preferred platform, however I am also very flexible and willing to do theater of the mind with things in discord. I have a flexible "yes, and" (and 'no, but') approach, and will look for opportunities to roleplay everything within world, including character motivations, hints to things the players know outside the game inside the world, and ambient music. Combat for me is something I really enjoy, coming from a Warhammer 40k background, though I am happy tailoring to the party's preference. I do embrace the rule of cool, rules are always secondary to the story, and want to ensure that each player gets a chance to shine and show their own prowess!
Gameplay details
During Session 0, I will provide a questionnaire as well as Monty Cook's RPG Consent checklist. We will discuss any possible hard lines and very clearly set boundaries and expectations together!

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen in Session 0 - you are certainly encouraged to bring an idea and plan of how you will complete your character! You will be making a LL0 character in COMP//CON and we will walk through that together if you have never done so! In Session 0 we will confirm any ideas you have or tweak them to make them work!
