Lancer

Description

Lancer is a tabletop role playing game centered on shared narratives,customizable mechs, and the pilots who crew them.

Set many thousands of years from the present day, Lancer imagines a futurewhere a survivor humanity has spread to the stars after weathering terribleecological collapse on Earth – the end of the Anthropocene as a consequenceof unrestrained consumption and poor stewardship.

With a survival imperative motivated by this cultural history,humanity’s or­ganizing body, Union, seeks to manage the galaxy to ensurewe’ll never again be faced with extinction. They are not perfect in thisendeavor; the narrative present of Lancer imagines a future whereUnion’s central body has been gripped by popular revolution, and the newgoverning body seeks to rectify the crimes of the old.

Lancer features a mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction andmythic science fantasy. In the setting, conscript pilots mix ranks with flyingaces, mercenary guns-for-hire brawl with secretive corporate agents, andrelativistic paladins cross thermal lances with causality-breaking, unknowablebeings.

Players of Lancer adopt the roles of mech pilots – comrades together in agalaxy of danger and hope. Some groups will fight for Union, working to rectifythe crimes of previous administrations. Others, for a corpro-state, working toadvance private interests while lining their pockets. Yet others will fight forgroups acting in opposition to those in power, or for themselves.

Lancer offers deep mech customization, a wide range of player backgrounds,and a system and setting with room for any story you and your group want totell. It’s best with a group of 3–5 players, and can be used to run aone-shot session or persistent campaign.
