About the adventure
Lancer is the biggest and baddest Mech combat TTRPG there is, and you are about to become part of it. If you're new to the game, Sergeant Omari will make sure you know exactly what to do when things start exploding, and if you've played Lancer before, well, let's say this take on Operation Solstice Rain might have a surprise or two for you, too, as re-imagined enemies, consequential story beats, and upgraded mission objectives await you. This campaign will run with 3 to 4 players, making sure there is plenty of spotlight on each pilot and enough time to answer any questions you might have without slowing down to a crawl. And, should you survive the Solstice Rain, the party can continue together into exciting new deployments!

About me
Hoi chummers, Victor here. I've been GMing for over a decade, and yet every session my players continue to surprise me with their ingenuity (and sometimes lack thereof :P). It's probably why it never gets old. I suppose writing most of my own content and always giving pre-written campaigns some extra twists also helps. I specialize in modern and futuristic settings -- often cynical, dog-eat-dog worlds with oppressive institutions. But while the occasional 'cash is king' mercenary story is fun, my most memorable campaigns were created by players who refused to become just another cog in the system. Together with you, I want to create stories about rage against the machine, showing compassion when nobody expects it, and putting everything on the line to make a change. 'Think you got what it takes, kid? Let's get fixing.' 🏵️ I'm always happy to develop a bespoke campaign in any of my listed rulesets. I also have a flexible schedule, and can comfortably cover US, EU, and APAC timezones. If you're looking for a unique experience built for you & your friends or significant other, let's talk! 🏵️

Creating your character
📚 Characters can be created using the official Lancer Comp/Con app -- it's free, easy to use, and a great way to explore all the potential builds and options! 🤝 All characters start as part of the same military unit; we will do a quick ice-breaker style activity discussing party bonds and connections during Session 0. 🆘 On request, I'll walk individual players through the character creation process outside of scheduled session time, at no additional cost.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
💬 A Discord account is required for sessions and between-session comms. 🎲 Hosted on Foundry VTT; no purchase or registration needed for players. 🎙️ A dedicated microphone is highly recommended. 📷 Cameras are optional, but not required. ❤️🔥 Above all, a desire to engage with the story and your pilot, both in and out of the mech cockpit.
What Fixer Victor brings to the table
This is a combat-focused campaign, however there will be opportunities for out of mech gameplay and character development, too. Each session will be prepared with battlemaps, additional atmospheric visuals, curated music playlists, and plenty of banter from your team leader, Sergeant Omari!
Homebrew rules

Safety
How Fixer Victor creates a safe table
I strive to make all of my tables a welcoming, inclusive space where players from all walks of life can be themselves and have a good time. Beyond playing a game together, I hope to help folks build real, lasting friendships. It is always completely okay to call for a pause or step away for a time. We will also establish Lines & Veils together during session 0, and those can always be clarified, adjusted, or updated as campaign progresses. An anonymized X-card is available at all times through the VTT during play to fade to black or skip uncomfortable moments without explanation. Each session will end with a quick debrief. There's also plenty of time to unwind and banter if desired. I do my best to accommodate every player's needs while keeping the narrative coherent and fun. If you ever have concerns, my DM inbox is always open, and I also provide a completely anonymous noteboard for any requests or issues that one might not feel comfortable to discuss directly.
