LANCER is a ttrpg system originally released in November 2019, with a second edition released in July 2024.

A self-described "mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy," players are the titular Lancers - skilled mech pilots navigating the aftermath of a 30 year long galactic civil war. Although the resultant Union Third Committee ostensibly keeps the peace, conflict still brews as the massively powerful Corpo-States attempt to expand their territory and influence.

There's a lot more lore than that, but frankly it's unimportant because the only part of LANCER that most people care about are, of course, THE MECHS.

Lancers gain access to their mechs via manufacturer licenses (represented with License Levels, or LL), which give them access to advanced software and design files to construct Mech Frames, equipment, and systems via hyper-advanced 3D printing terminals. Manufacturers differ greatly in both aesthetics and functionality, with each specializing in a particular battlefield role.

The five manufacturers are:

General Massive Systems (GMS)GMS is a nationalized corporate manufacturer which produces a wide variety of universally accessible goods. Their Mech Frames and equipment are immediately available to all Lancers at LL0, and their versatillity is such that they can remain powerful even into the end-game. GMS Frames (the Everest, Sagarmatha, and Chomolungma) are all named after the highest peak on Earth. There is no official art of the GMS Frames, in order to represent their universality and high level of customizability.

Interplanetary Shipping Northstar (IPS-N)As their name suggests, IPS-N specializes in interstellar shipping and transportation, producing spaceships, space suits, and related tools and weaponry systems. Mech Frames from IPS-N are designed to be tough and sturdy, often focusing on the close-quarters combat encountered when defending a ship from boarding parties. However, this design also makes them a favourite of space pirates. IPS-N frames have a gritty diesel-punk and military aesthetic, and are named after famous pirates and naval officers (e.g. the Drake, the Blackbeard, and the Raleigh)

Smith-Shimano Corp (SSC)Smith-Shimano Core specializes in hi-tech body modifications, working with both gene-splicing and cybernetics. They often cultivate human colonies, which also leads them to produce consumer goods. SSC Mech frames are sleek and advanced, often being highly mobile and carrying powerful weapon systems and hacking software while sacrificing durability. SSC frames are named after various moths and butterflies, such as the Dusk Wing, the Death's Head, and the Viceroy (my personal favourite mech in LANCER).

Harrison Armory (HA)Raytheon in space. Harrison Armory are a military weapons and materiel manufacturer and focus primarily on violently colonizing to expand their own territory. HA mech frames are giant metal boxes designed to carry maximum firepower, often reaching heat levels that threaten reactor meltdowns in order to generate more destructive force. They are named after famous warlords such as the Saladin, the Genghis, and the Barbarossa.

HORUSUnlike the other manufacturers, HORUS is not a corporation but rather a loose collective of rebels, hacktivists, and iconoclasts ostensibly under the direction of the supernatural Unshackled AI God RA. HORUS does not have uniform mech frame designs, instead having informal "Pattern Groups" used to short-hand describe a HORUS mech's general capabilities. HORUS mechs make use of borderline supernatural technologies such as blinkspace, nano-machine swarms, quantum entanglement, and even time travel to hack and disrupt enemy mechs and control the battlefield. HORUS pattern groups are named after mythological creatures, such as the Kobold (my second fave LANCER mech), the Pegasus, and the Balor.


Me yapping about my favourite mech frames and buildsI mentioned above my favourite mech frame is the SSC Viceroy. In addition to just looking very cool, it has some really fun mechanics. The Viceroy is a variant frame for the SSC Monarch. While the Monarch is a long range artillery platform with access to some of the most powerful missile launchers and a missile barrage ability, the Viceroy turns this on its head and is a close-quarters mech. All missile launchers equipped to a Viceroy gain a CQB profile allowing them to be used effectively at short range, and the Viceroy's missile barrage targets all enemies in a circle around it. I like to equip a Viceroy with knockback weapons, whose forced movement can trigger Overwatch from your Launchers, allowing you to get essentially free attacks each turn with powerful weapons.

I also mentioned the HORUS Kobold, which has lore that I really enjoy. The original Kobolds were powersuits used for mining, that had HORUS tech uploaded to them to facilitate a worker's rebellion. The Kobold license has a large focus around environmental manipulation. Its weapons and systems allow you to create obstacles using slag cannons, destroy fortification with seismic demolition charges, and flashfry the hulls of enemy mechs causing them to spew molten metal around them. The slag cannons combo really well with the Siege Specialist pilot talent, which allows you to destroy terrain and deal damage in an area around it.

A third fave of mine is the HORUS Rat King. The Rat King is quantumly entangled with any drones it deploys, allowing it to shoot from their position and redirect damage to entangled drones. With the Rat King, you can sacrifice hit points to deploy a drone with a copy of your main weapon. I like to use the default GMS Assault Rifle here, which deals a small amount of guaranteed damage even on a miss, in order to fire massive barrages of consistent guaranteed damage.

So, uh, yeah, that's LANCER I guess. It's a ttrpg with very cool mechs that do fun and cool things and I recommend checking it out just for that! All of the artwork is also really amazing and I definitely encourage checking out more of it as well.

I'd love to hear about everyone's favourite mechs or robots from any media!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Going back to visit my parents has reminded me why I didn't want to come out to them. They generally just treat me as if I am stupid, as if everything I do will cause me to die or something and force me to follow their religious traditions.

No matter how much I love them, it is impossible for me to maintain a healthy relationship with them. I don't want to come out and have them argue with me about how I am not actually trans or how I am destroying my body with hormones. I know for a fact that I will get angry and say things that I shouldn't.

In retrospect, I literally just had an emotional argument with them, and it was triggered over how fucking stupid I am aparantly because I don't wash my rice. This shit ain't working.

me at the start of 2024: "still cis tho still cis tho"

me today: buying loose incense at the local pagan witchy shop, getting distracted because it was supposed to be for Mars but they got a fantastic blend for Aphrodite that could easily be for Venus. My C cups are sitting in a comically femme $10 top from H&M and I'm asking the clerk to special order a book about the history of Venus. My driver's license has a girl name on it and says that I got an F at sex

wtf happened to my life? i mean, this is fucking great but also wtf life comes at you so fast sometimes

cw depressionSomething about depression is that I never actually know what appropriate sadness is. Like if I randomly get sad during the day I don't know if that's the same as people who aren't depressed or if that's just the symptoms rearing their head again

Got my mom to say she'd take T if she wasn't worried about her heart problems. Can't be sure it wasn't just an excuse to be subtly transphobic, but I have suspected her issue with me changing hormones is largely because she can't understand why someone would want to be on E.

Two excerpts from a text convo with an older lesbian at work I opened up to:

Do you really think that most people really think that way? I wouldn't think that MOST people do. (said most people are transphobic and don't think we should have all the rights we should have)

What's wrong with your voice and size?? It seems like there's a lot of internal pressure for you to be a certain way.

Literally even the queers don't understand transphobia and dysphoria, actually so cooked. Same woman who refuses to help me diy. I'm still trying to see if she can be a support person etc but I'm low key very annoyed people don't understand.

Someone recently told me to avoid the word transphobia and use trans hate or trans discrimination instead because

  1. Transphobia sounds way too nice for what it describes
  2. Phobia’s are actual mental disorders and comparing hate with such a disorder is ableist

I find the 1st argument very compelling so I’ll try to make more usage of the phrase β€˜trans hatred’ when it fits. I honestly don’t know enough about language and the usage and etymology of β€˜phobia’ to judge on the 2nd argument.

[–] 0x2640@hexbear.net 11 points 1 week ago

first argument is compelling

second argument is a very big stretch we would say

I've been reading a lot of WIPs of interactive fiction lately, most of them are really good and getting better about being trans and gender stuff.

wow what a great topic!

I've been running a Lancer campaign for some hexbear folks for a few months now. Has been a lot of fun. I've never been a mech person, but I've read a lot of sci-fi and the suppliments for lancer are amazing. We finished Operation Solstice Rain and are on the last half of Operation Winter Scar, highly recommend.

Up with mechanized chassis!
