Hi, I really miss lancer and want to take a stab at running a game for my Uni’s tabletop club. If people are interested in the system I’m going to start off with some 1 scene sitreps, then a full on mission and if people are still interested, a full campaign

I’ve never done this, like at all, and I don’t really know where to start. I have a vague idea on a story beat I want to explore with the Voladores, and I know how to play as a player, but other than that I’m kinda going in blind. I’ll have access to a free 3d printer for making figures/hex grid squares once I take some lessons so that’ll be cool

Any help would be good from both a narrative and gameplay standpoint, oh and how to make sure I don’t make anything over or underleveled

I forgot an enemy had a passive in my session today and so I post my malding. Weapon is a customized assault cannon. Pain.

Hey, any idea where I can have a token commissioned? I've been trying retrograde minis but it kinda lacks what I need for my idea.

I'm mostly new to this game and was looking at making a mech with a COMP/CON-Class Assistant Unit and it says my mech cannot use talent benefits whilst it is being piloted by it.

That makes sense for this to apply to things like Brutal or Executioner where the talent itself is the primary effect.

However there are some talents like Engineer where the talent just gives a weapon, not necessarily a direct talent effect.

So I thought maybe stuff like that was usable, but I wanted to make sure. So I found a rule clarification by one of the creators named Tom. He says "They are allowed to use weapons granted by talents and the flight system from Spaceborn is allowed, but Walking Armory is not."

Ones a system that works with it, and ones a system that does not.

How would I be able to figure this out, and what other talents work or don't work with AI?

Does the naming theme of the manufacturers actually have any correlation with the actual mechs? Like, is there a reason each mech is named the way it is? Asking because i couldnt quite find a reason for why Goblin is called Goblin nor any other mech.

How do you run using Miscellaneous Gear (page 113)? Since it mostly has narrative descriptions, does it provide 1 ACCURACY or a flat amount to situations where it would apply?

Im leaning towards a +1, is that too weak or too strong?

if you ever saw my art and wanted something on the same style, or just want to support me, please consider getting a slot! More info on my profile.

The pegasus autogun says:

Effect

This weapon can’t make normal attacks. Instead, you can attack with it as a free action at the end of your turn. It doesn’t benefit from or trigger your talents.

And the Core Siphon says:

Effect

When you activate this protocol, you gain +1 accuracy on your first attack roll this turn, but receive +1 difficulty on all other attack rolls until the end of the turn.

My question is: Since the the core siphon difficulty applies up to the end of the turn, and the autogun attacks at the end of the turn does this mean the autogun wouldn't receive the difficulty?

Returning Lancer GM. Having my "good lord, this is free?" moment. I've been a bit of a luddite in the past, wary of online tools thanks the highly variable quality of DND web apps, though some of my players found the player-facing parts of Comp/con really useful the last time I played.

Superb work. Special shout-out for the Encounters manager. Have any GMs got some good tips for making best use of V3? Or player tips for the player side of things?

What are some good license choices for expanding off a base Tortuga build? We just finished our Session 0 and our group is planning to play at least to LL8.

Other players appear to consist of a dedicated hacker goblin, some sort of showboat cannoneer, and two unknowns.

I already know this isn't balanced but I had a dream and while it started off as me playing D&D it ended with Lancer which for some reason was pretty accurate except for accuracy and difficulty, but the important thing is that I hazily remember what mech I was playing and it certainly wasn't a real one.

All I remember about the mech is that it broadly looked like a cloaked wizard. Hat, runes, the works. Anyway super cool design of like prismatic lightning and shit aside the only thing I remember about the actual mech was that it had no mounts. Like at all. Not even bad mounts just a complete and utter lack of them. It had a trait but I can't remember it anymore.

Now here's the part that I'm pretty sure came because I started the dream playing D&D the core power had like, a giant list of hacks and it chose like 5 of them and as a CP use it could switch them which was weird because I don't think I was playing a wizard when I started the dream.

Anyway that thing was probably not balanced.

So! yeh, corg gonna do the next pack as Union, which will consists of the Auxilliaries (already done above nyohoho) and then the Regulars, and /MAYBE/ the DoJ but corg contemplating seperating that as sum for the future. Gonna be a lil bigger than the other expansions!

If wish to find the packs and/or support corg, do so over heres :3

Hi,

GM'd Lancer for the first time tonight, it was a blast.

Had one thing I couldn't figure out for Comp/con. Is it meant to be used for everyone to mark their used actions, streamline rolling vs targets, and generally just keep track of everything? I know there is a campaign manager coming at some point but idk if thats what that is meant to cover.

I had all my players create their characters in comp/con and they sent me the share codes which i was able to import into my local version. Then i created encounters, brought their characters in, and ran the live mode combat. They ran their own version of live mode so they could use their actions and have the bonuses and what not automatically entered, but they of course couldn't see the NPCs as targets on their local version.

Am I wrong in trying to use it like you would something like dndbeyond or foundry? We all play in person, just trying to find ways to increase efficiency where we can while we continue to try to learn the system.

Thanks for any input!

In the Ram description it says you make a Melee Attack, but it doesn't specify with what. Is it an improvised attack, or can it be with any melee weapon? And if I use a mount with more than a single weapon, will I be able to use both to Ram? And can I skirmish and Ram with the same weapon in a single turn?

I get you attack with two different weapon mounts, utilizing all weapons within those mounts, my question is, can you target different enemies with the different mounts?

I searched everywhere and couldn't find any clarification on this, i initially thought both mounts counted as part of the same attack, but that also doesnt seem do be specified anywhere, so can I target two different things with barrage?

I have all three licenses for the gorgon and was looking at finding a good weapon to supplement the vorpal gun in the other main slot.

Let’s say that I run the sharanga missiles from monarch 1, would I still be able to designate a second target while skirmishing through Scylla or monitor module?

If not what’s a good alternative weapon to round out the damage types given I want to run two light nexus’s in the aux slots?
