About me
"He’s like Mrs. Dalloway, but with dice." - my favorite review ever Well met, fellow human! Let's sit down and come up with a story, something that we'll be remembering fondly for years afterwards. Let's make up stupid voices and get all emotional over a fake donkey, let's turn up the battle music and feel tension as the enemy moves across the field. Let's create some badass moments. As you may have gathered, I'm a big fan of the collaborative nature of tabletop roleplaying. I believe the game runs best when I don't know what's going to happen next, you don't know what's going to happen next, and we're all just frantic with excitement about the next roll of the dice. We play to find out what happens.

Creating your character
Players will make pilots at LL 0, using the optional bond rules introduced in the Karrakin Trade Baronies supplement.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please give at least a brief glance at the primer to the Baronies we'll be including in the adventure prep material, and get yourself familiar with the comp.con webapp used for running LANCER!
What Brayden brings to the table
I'll be bringing hundreds of hours of LANCER experience, an expanded version of the Shadow of the Wolf published module, music to set the tone, and boundless enthusiasm for the craft to our games.

How Brayden creates a safe table
LANCER revolves around balancing the tactical turn-based mech combat with freeform narrative gameplay, and Shadow of the Wolf will focus heavily on both sides of the experience. Players will be challenged to build new mecha and counter exciting new challenges during their studies, then unravel complicated political intrigues at evening time. It's a little bit of Persona, mixed in with Evangelion, all set in the lofty heights of Dune sci-fi. We'll be going over our safety tools in Session #0, extensively making use of the X-Card and Lines & Veils documents.
