About the adventure
Lancer wars is a multi-group game set in a shared world. Set on the planet Hercynia (Taking place after the events of No Room For a Wallflower Part 1, be aware of spoilers for that module) this campaign you and your team will work to bring peace to this troubled world, one way or another. Similar to west-marches style games this campaign will feature multiple groups each in charge of their own faction, making choices and fighting battles that will effect the world around them. Inspired by 4x games, you will build a faction and lead them to accomplishing their goals on the planet. Establish settlements and defend them from external threats, interact with other groups playing their own factions and battle against the GM factions that seek to spread chaos. In between regular Lancer gameplay, this campaign uses an additional ruleset designed by myself that enables the building and managing of your faction and the resources available to it. You can undertake missions to capture objectives or secure resources for your faction while other groups do the same. For every 3 Sitreps completed the PC's will be awarded a new Licence Level. Full repairs can only be undertaken on a Level up and not in-between, this is to simulate your pilots being "on campaign" and out in the field. This game is intended as a shared worldbuilding exercise. While each group can compete against one another, the spirit of this campaign is to work together to tell an epic, large scale tale of mech battles and the fate of the world.

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.

What Games Master JJ brings to the table
You will get access to a welcoming and inclusive community of Lancer fans on my discord server who have been playing together for two years across many campaigns. 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 and interactive landing page. All my combat maps are in the isometric perspective and I have utilised animations and sound effects for attacks and NPC's. While I am no voice actor, I like to give the NPCs you will meet distinct voices and accents (much to everyone's amusement). I have worked with the players to design a list of approved LCP content packs that will be made available to you when you join. This will give you the full scope of options to pick from when building your character and designing your mech.
Homebrew rules
I have a full document which details the system we will use for faction level play, this will be provided to you when you join the game.
