About the adventure
Ten years ago, a disaster devastated the mining world of Havelburg, driving the survivors underground. Your band of mech pilots find yourself passing through this unremarkable, dust-swept world. Yet lurking in the dust are sinister forces, as you discover when a NHP is kidnapped. The investigation and rescue mission will challenge even experienced pilots as they encounter foes far more challenger than the gangs prowling the planet's surface. Dustgrave is a scenario containing two missions for Lancer, the game of mech combat. In this case, it will take the players from License Level 4 to LL6.

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 4. All mechs and options are available.
We have a melee-focused Blackbeard, a Chomolungma hacker, a mighty Tortuga and a mech armed with a powerful railgun. We are currently at LL5.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
This scenario will be played at License Level 4; players should create a mech and pilot, although I will be happy to assist with character creation. Players should also have Roll20 and discord accounts.
What Caestus brings to the table
I will provide a Roll20 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. Lancer is primarily a mech combat system, but Dustgrave also has a good amount of roleplaying. I have experience running and playing Lancer, and should be able to set up some exciting, challenging battles for the players.
