About the adventure
Mission Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvttdJx6Dm4 “Lancers, an NHP is about to be stolen tonight… I want you to steal it first” Space station Stella-58 is home to multiple industries and research labs, where corporations from across the local system trade and dream up innovations to further spread their influence and power. In one of these labs a powerful kind of AI, known as an NHP, has been in secret development with the capabilities that could change the face of the entire system - and has drawn the eye of jealous rivals who want it for themselves. But there not the only ones with an interest in it… Welcome to Operation Holiday, an introduction mission to the Lancer system for all skill levels that will run for between 3-4 sessions. Discover who your pilot is, build your own mech, learn how to use it, and unleash it upon your enemies (And also do a bit of crime).

Does a awesome job with pacing and runs a very fun game. Can keep up with seasoned players but can teach the newbies at the same time. Fun, rewarding, friendly, give them a shot!

Jim is a great DM, who even makes custom pixel art for your character to use within Foundry which makes the games fun, visual, and very interactive. He does a great job of creating a good around the table atmosphere and making sure social contracts are followed without being tyrannical. I had a great experience and so much fun with the group.

Get ready for a fantastic GM. His amazing pixel art and the atmosphere he can weave are addictive. The experience of his Waterdeep Detectives campaign has been up there with watching a fantastic film noir and participating in it, albeit in the Forgotten Realms setting. I strongly suggest him.

I really enjoyed playing the kobold one-shot. Storytelling and tech were woven together to create a clear and coherent experience which was engaging and just the right amount of silly. Jim embraced the small bit of backstory I came up with for my PC, which helped make my character feel like a part of the world, not just a Random Hero
Additional details
How to prepare
All you’ll need to join the game is a mic, a Discord account and the ability to run Foundry.
What I provide
I’ll be providing tutorials on character creation and how to play, as well as maps, music and drama in my Foundry setup. All the mech models in this game will be animated, and after the first session I’ll animate the players mechs and customize them for you. As an intro game we’ll be primarily focused on using the core book, but if you want to use one of the expansions just let me know.
Gameplay details
The session 0 will be free, and I’ll go over character creation and some basic rules of the game then. You are a team of mercenary mech pilots, known as Lancers, and we’ll discover your team's origins during character creation. Out in the fringes life is tough and even a skilled Lancer pilot will often find themselves doing odd jobs from system to system, though this recent job promises to be your biggest score for a long while.

How will character creation work
Characters and mechs will be built in a website called Comp/Com, and I’ll be walking through the steps on how to create your character and mech during the session 0. For those who already know the system we'll be playing at LL 1. I also have some premade characters and animated mechs for those who want to jump right in.
