8:30 PM CST – Wednesday, July 2nd
Online / Beginner-Friendly / Lancer RPG / Foundry VTT / Discord
Looking for 3–5 players for a one-shot set in the Lancer universe. No experience needed - I am new to the system as well - we will learn together as we go.
You’re a rookie pilot arriving at Heliot-9, a dusty moon hosting the chaotic Scrapdown Invitational—a junkyard mech competition full of flair, firepower, and shady sponsors. Not all is as it seems, however, and some experimental tech may shake the scrapdown up as never before.
We’ll build simple Level 0 characters at the start. You’ll choose a connection to one of the colorful NPCs—like a secretive sniper, a flamboyant tech cultist, a NHP that is part bartender and all bar, or a mech-obsessed child prodigy.
Expect:
Tactical mech fights (2-3 total)
Strong roleplay & character moments
A touch of Paracausal weirdness
A complete story in ~5 hours
Reply or DM with a bit about you or your favorite kind of mech pilot to play!
