About the adventure
LANCER features a mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy. In the setting, conscript pilots mix ranks with flying aces, mercenary guns-for-hire brawl with secretive corporate agents, and relativistic paladins cross thermal lances with causality-breaking, unknowable beings. The game is designed to be rules light and narratively driven outside of your mechs and combat gets more strategic once you are in the pilots seat. Lovers of indepth strategy and crunchy progression mechanics will find plenty to love here. Lovers of roleplaying should find plenty of opportunities to lose themselves as one of the teeming multitudes of humanity in the far-flung future.

About me
I've been roleplaying for over 20 years with most of that time spent behind the DM screen. I've learned to embrace the improvisational aspects and love to be surprised by my players creativity and humor! So I tend to go by the "rule of cool" and try to focus on pacing in my games. All games are LGBT+ friendly and will be using "Lines and Veils" to establish a comfortable environement for all involved. So let's start playing!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a mic and the Discord app for communication. The game will be run on the Foundry VTT which features a web-browser based player interface so no app will be needed. Characters can either be created on the forge.com server or on the web-tool COMP/CON (https://compcon.app/#/) and then imported.
What BigRedCat brings to the table
I run my Lancer games on the Foundry VTT which makes the system very accessible to new players and veterans alike. I will provide intricate battle maps with complex objectives to challenge your strategic thinking and teamwork. I also create immersive soundscapes with ambience, dramatic music, and sound effects to bring you fully into the world of LANCER. I will also provide custom pixelart tokens for use in combat as provided by https://www.retrogrademinis.com/
