About the adventure
Lancer is a tactical Sci-Fi RPG about elite mech pilots operating at the fault lines of a fragile interstellar future. You'll be playing Lancers, professionals trusted with walking weapons of war, sent on high-risk missions where politics, corportations and inhuman intelligences collide. Set in a post-scarcity galaxy held together by a union, which hides proxy wars, corporate exploitation, and rebellious worlds, Lancer combines Duty vs Conscience, costs of war, found family in the cockpit, and holding the line when no one else will. For players who enjoy mech, strategy, teamwork and sci-fi stakes, this game is for new players, or someone trying it for the first time. I run a new player friendly table with clear rules, strong narrative framing and missions designed to teach the system naturally.

About me
Hello everyone! My name is Star Guardian, and I'm here to make some incredible stories with some incredible people! I've been playing TTRPG's for about 10 years, starting from Dungeons and Dragons, and moving onto other games! It's become my passion and I want nothing more than to share it with everyone else! I'm available every single day and love helping people with problems, coming up with amazing stories to share with other people. If you have a dream, I want to make it a reality!

Creating your character
Character creation will be a personal one on one discussion going over everything offered in the main playbook, so that both player, and the DM can understand exactly what it is they want. From there, we'll be able to make anything you can think of to fit your exact idea and style of play!

How Star Guardian creates a safe table
I will always, always sit down and have a one on one with new players, and we'll go over everything they feel they need to let me know. My goal is to make you feel comfortable, and make sure what you're entering is isn't going to step on anything you don't want brought up. We're all friends, and I am your humble dungeon master!
