About the adventure

Among the RAO-Co freelance guildsmen, you are one of the best in the business. You (and the rest of your crew) have a near spotless record, and a reputation for getting the job done without a hitch. You’ve been able to afford tools of the trade, which are not handed out to just anyone. You are LL3 Lancer pilots, and you (as a group) have your own ship to use to go anywhere that your work takes you. Your place of business? The Rubicon; a lawless corridor of lost space outside of Union jurisdiction, run by a notorious crime syndicate federation: The Guild of Merchants. Carve your own story as freelance mercs for hire by selecting which missions you undertake. Make allies and enemies alike with a tracked faction reputation system. Earn your own reputation with an individually charted Karma system that balances you between heroic and villainous. Involve your character’s history and backstory with allies and enemies that you create. Embrace the ideals of a Guildsman with choice based missions and branching storylines. The campaign will begin at LL3. Bonds and their powers will not be used in this campaign. All official (non playtest) content is available for player use, as are the 3rd party supplement frames from Lancer Enhanced Combat. Other homebrew must be requested and approved by the GM. Things to expect: - A unique, hand crafted, lore-rich, (mostly) homebrew setting - Music ambiance provided to enhance the experience - An experienced and friendly GM who is on your side - Challenging, engaging combat and narratives If that catches your interest, feel free to peruse the campaign primer: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jhTHQ9M0rtS1E8UFhFbGAWPUgAIkSHop/view?usp=drive_link

About me

Hi! My name is Leah. I’m in my mid 20s, I'm in the LGBTQ+ community, and I'm passionate about this hobby. I have many years of experience as a game master and player alike. Most of my experience comes from fantasy systems like D&D 5e and PF2e, but I have experience with other systems too, such as Lancer.

What Leah brings to the table

Expect tactical and engaging combat every session. I will play ambient music in the background and roleplay NPCs during pilot play. I run my games closely to RAW (rules as written) with a mindfulness towards nuance and charitability. My goal as the GM, first and foremost, is for everyone to have fun.
