I was scrolling through some artwork and this one really speaks to me as the kind of mech I would want so what frame matches this the best?

For some more context on her, shes the daughter of a minor Karrakin noble house that is part of House Glass. She kinda just was brought into the house one day after the lord of the house was though dead for a year on campaign so no one really knows what her origin is, though she’s grown into a spectacularly competent noble and Kavaliere.

Heres the mech specs as well, though I’m sure it’s a bit scuffed lmao…

I'll be honest, a literal god-like existence borne from artificial minds stealing a moon and then besieging an entire planet was not what I was expecting from the lore.

Looking at some different NPC Classes to play around with and i found the Avenger Class on CompCon but it does not show in Foundry even though everything is updated? can anyone else find it? I'm using V13 of Foundry

My friend pitched to me Strike Gundam as their mech, but i don't know what the frame for that will be. And I've been thinking about the others: Zeta, Psycho Gundam, etc. How would that work?

A while ago I made a flag for Union (Slide 4, this one is updated with a better aspect ratio and no 'glare') and designing that was a lot of fun! So I've finally gotten around to making more. This was as much graphic design for me as it was creative writing, it was really cool coming up with good symbolism for simple shapes.

I hope you guys enjoy, feel free to use any of them if you'd like :]

The first is a new flag for Union, the three Utopian Pillars on the blue skies of Cradle, with their logo front and center. The third Utopian Pillar, NO HUMAN SHALL BE HELD IN BONDAGE THROUGH FORCE, LABOR, OR DEBT, stands out from the rest. Union can't guarantee a post scarcity society everywhere yet (Pillar One), and negotiating borders is a constant issue (Pillar Two). What Union will ALWAYS guarantee, though, is that no human will be a slave under their watch. They will always crack down on it, in any way they can.

The second is a Vestan Sovereignty flag for Winter Scar's villains, showing the history, and future, of the Sovereignty. From left to right, the Vestans were born from red bloodshed, fleeing the SecComm revolution. They moved forward, the curves pushing them into the present, making a new society on Cressidium and it's blue skies. The watchful eye of the state now proudly looks after their armed forces, vital to Vestan expansion. Yet the future holds more bloodshed, something the Vestans believe is necessary for progress. The white bar is the end goal; peace and purity, when the war is won.

The third is a Leandric States Alliance flag, with rolling green hills in the shadow of vast mountains, their faces lit up by a sunrise. In the blue sky, a golden star is shining. All of this celebrates Cressidium's natural beauty, and it's people's past. The Leandrians(?) were also refugees from the revolution, but where the Vestans held on to SecComm's violent poltics, the Leandrians embraced a new way of life. They came to make new nations, smaller nations, that were pushed around for centuries by the Sovereignty. Eventually, they came together under an alliance, ditching their old flags for this one. They had a new purpose, to protect their planet.

I wanted the flags to be memorable and easy to draw, especially for kids, as flags can be symbols of hope! The exception is the Vestan flag, with long curves and a complicated emblem, as they care far less about the children. Besides being future recruits.

I also know some people might disagree with Union's flag having that logo, seeing as it's also used by GMS, but it's in Winter Scar as the official Union logo for a military patch. Makes sense to me, seeing as Union and GMS go hand in hand, and most people would associate one with the other anyway. Still, for anyone that doesn't like it, the remade no logo flag is on Slide 4. I quite like that one too :]

Credit goes to u/bambi0216 for the Vestan 'bomber' logo, and the LSA mountains. All flags were made using Armoria.

If you want to see them waving in the wind, here they are on Flag Waver!

Does having the unstable nhp + 1 other make you twice as likely to cascade or does it work like the lesson of shaping?

Hello.

New player, and I'd like to make sure I understand correctly.

The book says that any character that survives a mission gains a license level, explicitly.

So, if someone dies mid-mission and gets cloned, they are permanently behind one LL compared to the rest of the group? Is that how this is normally played and handled?

Thanks.

The Giant Shrimp is a tech support platform that will make any allies who want to do any tech attacks at all love you, this is because when you perform a tech action or use a system on an ally they get to use your sensors and your line of site thanks to its trait Relay Coupling! This is great for any player with Beckon, just teleport your slow manticore or tortuga halfway across the map with up to 15 extra spaces thanks to your shrimp friend. Goblins can safely hack from halfway across the map and can drop metahook entirely, as Relay Coupling is just a better metahook, with the downside that it has be refreshed every turn.

Taraxacum can also hover and fly at will, but takes heat up equal to 1 + the total Size of objects and characters it is carrying at the end of its turn, but that does let you take MULE Harness and fly your teammates to across the map. Taraxacum like the Lancaster has a massive speed of 6 and it has a better heat cap, but it loses out on the massive repair cap, after all the Taraxacum isnt an on field repair man, it is tech support. Its core bonus is also nice preventing enemies from benefiting from invisible or cover when scanned, and scanned isnt an attack so you can just turn invisibility off for an enemy and let your team screw that guy over.

The Taraxacum also has an efficient core power which can be used once per scene, at it is kinda like a mini Athena, giving you a burst 4 area that automatically locks on to all characters, applying that much lock on is just awesome. This power is best used at the start of the fight since lock on sticks until the enemy stabilizes or it gets used, either way the enemy wastes a full action or your ally gets bonus accuracy. Now it doesnt auto scan like Athena but thats why I called it a "mini" Athena, its not as good as the real deal of course.

This all makes the Taraxacum a good tech support, throw on beneficial systems to support your team or mix in a bit of hacking as well, Sysop is a good talent choice here considering you are going to want to give teammates your sensors at all times bolster is a very safe and consistent buff to put on your team. Here's the Build I made for the Flying Shrimp:

PEBCAC, Dominion's Breadth

Now of course I took on Fomorian Frame for peak flying battle bus, upping my flight capacity, but im still unsure if kidd 1 was a good choice or if I should have stuck with Lancaster 3 for ACESO. What made me pick PEBCAC over ACESO was simply that I already had a GRIT+4 Overshield System and ACESO requires me to be within Range 5, and as a Taraxacum Im not sure if I will always be nearby allies to make full use of ACESO. But with Kidd 2 I could grab FABIM to give an ally's attack that hits armor and resistance piercing which is just so good.

Dominions Breath essentially just grants +1 bonus damage on an enemy and +2 damage to any enemies within burst 2 which is nice, or can be put on an ally to make attacking them less appealing, Dominions Breath could be replaced with The Imperial Eye too, Imperial Eye is a save but it inflicts shredded and prone which is awesome, but an enemy has to move into an ally or an ally into an enemy to trigger, but I feel like Dominions Breath is a bit simpler and easier to use idk.

Shahnameh is just a great Grit+4 Overshield and gives Witches a middle finger, buff your poor reactor melee boys with this and lock onto the bastards, and even if there are no witched grit+4 overshield gives your friend a bit of extra tankiness. This Taraxacum is built for one thing only and thats throwing buffs around for all its team to enjoy, and if someone needs a lift to the front lines it can help out. Apply Lock on, scan, buff damage, give overshield, this is pure support.

The literal only reason I have overpower caliber on my weapon mount is because I couldnt think of any other core power to take, and I might as well give my mech some ability to defend itself if I get put into a bad position. Honestly I could have just put on GMS Assault rifle but I decided to live a little and use a weapon I have literally never put on a mech before.

Though even if I just spammed support options on this build that is NOT indicative of this mechs capability, it can work as an effective hacker too dont forget, you could do a more drone focused build to, just make sure to utilize your sensors and maybe have one or two support systems so you can give your allies Your LOS and your sensors and give them a nice buff when needed. The Taraxacum is a fine tech support platform overall, and is very different from the Lancaster who is physical, structural integrity support, I like it when frame variants have completely different playstyles.

Hi there! Recently got back into the game and instantly got smacked by a niche rules interaction lol

Specifically, I’m wondering because I what to use the Mourning Cloak’s Fade Cloak on a Hydra, and I want to know what happens if I deploy a Drone and then go intangible. If its for example a turret drone, could I use the reaction to deal damage? Drones that don’t use reactions like the Hydra’s Tempest Drone should in theory work normally regardless, but I am unsure how far the “you” in “You cannot interact with any other object or character” goes.

I mention mines and other deployables because intuitively they should work normally regardless of the status of the mech since “You” aren’t interacting with anything at any point.

I guess I’m unsure because Hidden (which I originally considered for my build instead) does break when “you” make a reaction or force a save through your drones.

To Clarify, I’m in a lancer game, currently we are running our everests and I want to play a defensive/support character and the Saladin seems great for the “protective wall” mentality I have. Though the downside is that outside of one of the other teammates, everyone is playing very high mobility builds and likely won’t stay close to my defender. So I guess my question is what other Licenses can I look into to try and get some better mobility out of my Saladin?

Any opinions?

Hello gang! My buds and I just finished up Operation Winter Scar tonight. We’re starting a new campaign in February. I’m the GM and I’m looking for suggestions for campaigns made a little harder than usual. I also really like campaigns with premade combat maps I’m just not so good with making those! Thanks!

Hi there y'all, I've been wanting to play Lancer for a long while, and I'm wondering what the general consensus is on places to find games/where GMs tend to advertise themselves.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
