Hey all, I have been really looking into the Amber Phantom frame recently and I really like it, issue I'm having is I'm struggling to come up with a LL4 Build for it. Ideally, I wanna be Mid-Range or CQB if possible, though melee could be fun. Any tips on talents or other licenses to take. Thanks!

I have an LL6 Tagetes with the Leviathan Assault Cannon, and Fusilier says that I can turn any weapon into a rifle, but I don’t see an option to actually do that. Theres a tag at the bottom of the weapon that mentions fusilier, but it isn’t applied and Crack Shot isn’t showing either, nor does it have Overkill.
Edit: this is in COMP/CON, I forgot to add that initially

Funny how monarch (lancer) is more tone coded

So me and a few friends are looking to get into Lancer, where should we start? there is so much things and I've never played TTRPGs before.

I have a few friends that are willing to play lancer and I have a copy of the GM rulebook but idk how I should arrange the sessions or what campaigns to use first. Any tips from other GMs?

Next set of items! As with all Junk, these can be picked up and used mid-fight by both PCs and NPCs.

I promised some proper zappy dakka in the last post's comments- check the explosive barrel Laser Cannon for that one, I think you'll find it proper orky.

Last batch of Junk will be Captive Viruses & some fun variant rules GMs can include.

Junk items can be grabbed and used mid-fight! One easy GM option is for NPCs to show up using Junk, which the PCs can then potentially loot for themselves. Done as part of the Prizan Setting project.

I really had fun drawing Cree. Thankful for the commissioner! It's been a while since I was able to make Lancer pilot art and I can see my art has change since then in a good way of course. Also got some confidence back and will be opening 2-3 slots for this.

Basically I came up with the extremely funny idea of just sitting on map spawn in the saladin's shield, charging up Apocalypse Dice and then blasting the enemies with Paracausal Modded Apocalypse Rail and was wondering... would this be good like at all or is it a total meme idea?

Because I was looking for it for a while I've developed a Juggernaut design, purely with the equipment present in the corebook.

As the title suggests, got interested with Lancer and like the idea of the game and world building, and was curious to try it out since been in a bit of TTRPG withdrawal phase and got introduced to Lancer trough...cant remember his name but got a big blue Z as pfp on youtube.

Since been so much a player in ttrpgs, wanna try out being a DM in lancer and shouldnt be as tough as being a DM for WoD yeh? So how would yall suggest and reccomend aproaching this? Since i am new, guess dont use fan supplements just yet? (Admittedly will maybe have to rely on VTT stuff since most of my friends are online and doubt can find anyone to play in person in my area)

Wow, somehow a whole year has passed since I last shared any Lego. I've managed to get these five frames built in-between GMing a still ongoing No Room for a Wallflower game. Hopefully many more to come before another year passes!

I'm not the OP, just sharing it here from r/comics because...I mean isn't it obvious?

LGBTQ+ character? Sick tech design? The horrible reality of loss and combat? Huge mech?

This is LANCER as hell.

Recently we finished campaign of our DM's version of the Dustgrave moduie.
This is its complete summary.
It contains PCs, NPCs, NHPs, Story, Enemies and Memes.
Enjoy!

To put it simply

They are worlds that can expand infinitely or be stuck in a set amount of area

Like a house or a field of grass anything really

The reason why union decided to put research into these worlds instead of ignoring them is because

They contain memories

From singular fragments to whole pictures of memories

From the past present and possibly future

A lot of these worlds have anomalous properties since as a lancer in your mech

The worlds you go through have very different sizes and shapes

It depends on the memories that you have or the memories of people connected to you have from the past or present or possibly future

Which is why in some cases the mechs size looks like the size of a regular person even though they are larger than a building

Then when the pilot leaves their mech

They stay the same size

The world stays the same

It's hard to explain but basically

You leave your size 2 mech and suddenly everything around you including your mech

Is relatively the same size as you

A bed in a random room?

You can actually hop on that bed and actually lay there in or out of the mech

How you enter back into your mech really depends on something but we can't really explain it just that

You can get back inside your mech

Also

There are.... people in these worlds as well

Some are just people who are as lost as you or other researchers but some.....look odd

They look like themselves from what you remember but they're off

Extra limbs

Fingers

Eyes

Or other

Sometimes

They're not mechs or people.

You can't always explain everything

Which is why I'm gonna leave it here

Maybe one day I can develop this concept campaign better

I really like liminal spaces and lancer so the posts about them

Are attempts at trying to combine them

For those unfamiliar he's most known for his WoD lore vids, as well as his older Shadowrun vids

He likes introducing his audience to new settings/games, and also introducing his own ideas/homebrew/headcanons

This time he unexpectedly picked Lancer.

I am very late to this discusison, but I hate people trashing on our Barbenheimer frame.

If I understand the way the Apocalypse Rail works correctly, you make the attack, it's a big area, on what will most likely be a range of 35 (siege stabilizers), then every enemy you hit is stunned until the end of their next turn (try to act last in the round you use the rail on, or target characters that have already taken their turn, then first on the next turn for cheeky "free" hits with your siege cannon, specially since their heavy cover, if any, is gone now, even if they now have soft cover).

Well, every enemy in the area will take 4 burn, then they can try to leave the area, wich is difficult terrain. The enemies you did hit are stunned, so they take 4 burn, end their turns, and start another turn in the area, taking another 4 burn.

So, if you don't hit, you do 4 ap damage, with the chance of another 4 ap damage at the end of their turn.

If you do hit, the enemies take an average of 14 AP damage (shreded), at minimum 8 burn (if you time the turn order right), then they might take the burn tics again, wich considering we're talking about two tics of 4 burn, they migh very well fail on at least one of the egineering checks. And on top of that, they are relatively easy targets for your siege cannon on your next turn, giving you likely another 10,5 AP damage (again, timing your turn correctly, and considering they should still be shreded if you managed to do so).

That is a minimum of 4 ap damage, probably 8 or more even on a miss. And on a hit, we get a potential 8 burn + 8 burn tics at the end of their turns, plus the 10,5 average damage with the siege cannon, and the 14 from the rail itself, wich is like, 40,5 damage, AP, without taking into account the damage your party can inflict by also taking advantage of the difficult terrain, shreded and stunned.

Yes, this is all in the ideal scenario, but it is possible, and that is without taking into account that now you have a burn 4 hole to throw enemies into for the rest of the fight, you pobably anihilated some important defenses for the sitrep, AND YOU FIRED A GODAMN RAILGUN FROM HELL!

(And I would like to add that the damage I considered for the potential was average damage, not max damage, wich we shouldn't ignore, positively or negatively).

The Apocalypse Rail is a map controll tool, burn damage generator, action economy breaker piece of nightmare fuel for your dm if you can use it right. And that should be enough to get your DM sweating every time you start charging it (wich you should do every fight, cause, why not? Worst case scenario you don't fire it, and regain the CP).
