About the adventure
It is thirty seconds to midnight. You and a few allies are all that stand between the genocidal ambitions of a long-lost fleet and billions of lives. Against you in this task is arrayed all the might and fury of a star-spanning empire dead for five centuries, under the absolute control of Lady Iphigenia, the Queen of Crows; multiple capital ships and tens of thousands of mechanized chassis and troops, unflinching in their goal and unwilling to accept surrender. You are outnumbered, outgunned, and without reinforcements or time - But you are not outmatched. Iphigenia at Midnight is a campaign for Lancer, the game of mech combat. This campaign will take pilots from License Level 6 to LL9, as well as introduce several new pieces of mech equipment and enemies.

About me
Hello, I'm Caestus. I've been playing roleplaying games ever since I was old enough to do so. I've played or run 100 different rpgs. I'm a big fan of science fiction and fantasy. I've been running games on StartPlaying for several years and enjoyed every second of it. While I feel that telling a good story is a key part of being a good gamemaster, more important than the story is making sure all the players at the table have a good time; I consider that the chief duty of any gamemaster. I run a wide variety of games here and I hope you enjoy playing RPGs with me.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Players will start at License Level 6. All mechs and options are available, with the scenario featuring several new mechs. I will be happy to assist in character creation in voicechat or messages as necessary.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
This scenario will begin at License Level 6; players should create a mech and pilot at that License Level, although I will be happy to assist with character creation. Players should also have discord accounts, as well as a mic for voice chat.
What Caestus brings to the table
I will provide a Foundry loaded with maps and appropriate mech images for the players to employ and visualize the battle. We'll also have music, and even sound effects. I have experience running and playing Lancer, and should be able to set up some exciting, challenging battles for the players.
