Lancer: No room for a wall flower / Beginner friendly / LL0

Creating your character

Characters will be created using comp con https://compcon.app/#/ Character should be license level 0 and are all rookie union pilots who are being deployed here due to the happenstance of being closest. I also allow bonds at LL0 so you can choose one for your character immediately. There will be no session 0, but I will happily hop on to help players with character creation before session 1. I can also hop on to teach the basic rules if need be. We just need to setup a time / day to go over whatever you want help with.

Preparing for the session

You will need a decent quality mic and a computer with internet connection and access to discord. You should have a general idea about the setting and rules of lancer. I am happy to help teach the game, but you should have at least a very rough idea of how things work. You should not however read this module as it would spoil the campaign for you. If you have already read it, please try and keep that knowledge to yourself to preserve the experience for the other players.

How Ginger GM creates a safe table

☆ Lines: - rape ☆ Veils: - graphic depictions of injury - torture - romance/sex - drug use ☆ Note on turn length and pauses: This game is beginner friendly, as such there may be times when the game slows down to help explain concepts to newer players. While I will work to keep these moments to a minimum, I ask that players respect each other in their learning journeys. ☆ High combat low roleplay: Lancer allows for some role-play but not a ton compared to other modules or systems. While you can come up with detailed and elaborate back stories for your player characters, they will almost certainly not come up in this game and you should hold no expectation that I will try to work them in. ☆ Combat will (hopefully) be challenging: Lancer is a tactical mech game. I will not run the enemies as brainless hordes. They will fight back and they will try to win. My goal is to present a worthy challenge for players to overcome, but this does require players to work as a team and not just charge in head first. This is still a beginner friendly game however, and I will happily offer advice and guidance during the game when requested. ☆ House rules: For out of mech combat gameplay I use a slightly modified roll system that acts closer to blades in the dark. I also run downtime closer to blades. I use bonds starting at LL0 so players will get to choose a bond immediately. ☆ Table rules: - 1. Players are to treat everyone at the table with respect. No bigotry, sexism, or just being an entitled jerk. If you break one of these rules you will be dropped from the game. - 2. If you miss a game that is fine. If we have at least 3 players who wish to still play that week, the game will continue on and your character will fade to the background and be puppeted for combat purposes. If we have less than 3 players willing to play then we will skip the game that week. - 3. Consistently sabotaging the party or refusing to work with the team will be considered being an entitled jerk. See tables rules 1.
