TheWhitefire Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 Each application should have it's own thread. Players may make only one application. Any questions, advice, ideas, and ooc chat can go here. EDIT: Useful app for making custom Mech avatars! https://www.retrogrademinis.com/ Designed for use with Lancer. Edit2: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOnXWQrYlGSAnRaU_JanWMVYJGmgWgX20&si=AaLsbnwqgoyCKcm- If you can handle a robot voice, this series is a lore deep dive.

Yamazaki Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 Question: are you using any of the optional rules, such as Manna for mech progression (from Long Rim) or Bonds for pilots (KTB)? I ask mostly because I'm not a fan of Manna (I find it to be kludgy and awkward). Additionally, any mechs or official sources you want us not to use? For example, there's a pair of Everest alt frames, the Chomolungma (Solistic Rain) and the Sagarmatha (Wallflower).

TheWhitefire Posted October 10, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 I only personally own the core book, so I won't be using optional rules. If you're able to provide me the official sources (such as if they are free) I'm happy to allow any other mech frames or equipment that your licenses would allow access to.

Inash Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 Ok. I'm not entirely sure I can do the hybrid thing, but ... big stompy robots are calling. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgoth8 Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 Hello! I'm very interested in this! I want to say how awesome it is to see Lines and Veils from the outset here! Much appreciated when it comes to feeling comfortable at a game with folks you don't know.

Orgoth8 Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 (edited) Apologies for the very swift double message, but I do have a question: How well-versed do you recommend a player be in the setting? I know the mechanics-side of Lancer pretty well, but not so much the lore and specifics of the setting.

TheWhitefire Posted October 10, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 Just the basics found in the rulebook: ThirdCom good SecCom was bad, Union ThirdCom trying to bring luxury space communism to the lost colonies via BlinkGates.

Chimi Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 One of the cool things is you can have your character not know a lot too. Maybe your lancer was a freedom fighter on a recently recontacted world, or was a cryo frozen colonist who got outpaced by more modern ships and arrives to find their colony target is already a major hub.

TheWhitefire Posted October 10, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 Exactly. You could have been in cryosleep since before Union was even a thing. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgoth8 Posted October 10, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 10, 2023 awesome! I'm scouring the core book for snippets of lore. I was worried there'd be an enormous amount to sift through but it seems pretty manageable, and of course if there's any specific things you are most interested in, to point me in the right direction, I'd love to hear it.

Chimi Posted October 11, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 11, 2023 You can get the COMP/CON files for the rules for other books, by going to the Massif Press itch.io site, clicking the available books, and downloading the 'demo' at the bottom of each listing. Then they can be added to COMP/CON. Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Passione Posted October 11, 2023 Clone Share Posted October 11, 2023 Quick question about voice chat, can I choose to participate via text-to-speech? It takes finagling with Discord but the option is there. It also might be grating to other players. I'd love to know what you think.

TheWhitefire Posted October 11, 2023 Author Clone Share Posted October 11, 2023 I'm open to it, is there a particular reason you'd prefer that option? Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
