"Leviathan" | LANCER RPG // Operation Solstice Rain EP 04
1After getting much-needed repairs and upgrades, our pilots head to the harbor district to investigate the source of the Vestan attack. On their approach their IFF readers detect Captain Brigid Farris's tags and it becomes a race to stop the submarine from launching and escaping with their VIP.
LANCER is a tabletop role-playing game centered on shared narratives, customizable mechs, and the pilots who crew them.
Set tens of thousands of years from the present day, LANCER imagines a future where humanity has spread to the stars after weathering terrible ecological collapse on Earth -- the end of the Anthropocene as a consequence of 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 ensure we’ll never face extinction again. They are not perfect in this endeavor; the narrative present of LANCER imagines a future where Union’s central body has been gripped by popular revolution, and the new governing body seeks to rectify the crimes of the old.
LANCER features a mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy. In the setting, conscript pilots mix ranks with flying aces, mercenary guns-for-hire brawls with secretive corporate agents, and relativistic paladins cross thermal lances with causality-breaking, unknowable beings.
