[wealmostaneckbeard]

Brian David Gilbert gets into the Lancer table top role playing game. Makes funny protest songs against Harrison Armory's expansionist policies. Examines the different branches of Union's Third Committee and rates each one on how your anthrochauvinist parents would react to you starting work there. Explains the differences between a club for NHP hobbyists (good) versus a Horus cult (bad), ends by revealing that there is no difference and there is nothing sinister about Horus so quit being so judgemental.

BEHOLD MY LANCER PILOT; MYLES

For those who don't know Lancer, its a genuinely sick and underrated TTRPG, a little hard to grasp at first but I swear its worth the brain hort:(

And his perfectly normal and well adjusted mech

[wickworks]

Every time someone asks why Lancer Tactics isn't on hexes I buy myself another boba tea to cry into. What would you remove for your vaunted bestagons? The map editor? The portrait maker? H0rus mechs?

Time is a zero sum game. Everything has a cost, and you know not the weight of what you ask for...

[stonegearstudios]

Ok, so I've had an idea for a small Lancer adventure, which came when I was thinking about campaigns that start above LL0 and the status of clones in the universe.

The basic idea is we have a facility, currently unnamed, operating with some very Seccomm views on Clone personhood. One of their main projects is trying to reliably produce mech pilots of above average skill quickly and reliably. Hidden on some out of the way moon or planet.

In to this comes _h0muncu1u5_, a H0RUS affiliated cell or individual (it's not clear) looking to take this place down quite messily.

And this is where the GM has a choice, because while it's only a single mission with three combats, there are two paths through it. Either the PCs are a DoJ strike team, tipped off by _h0muncu1u5_, or they're a cadre of clone pilots that _h0muncu1u5_ is helping stage a breakout

If they're DoJ, then they start at the surface, hot dropped out of a speeding dropship to break in and make their way down to the core of the facility.

If they're clones, then they start at the bottom, triggering their uprising, climbing up out of hell.

In this way I can turn three maps into 6, each slightly remixed by the order they're encountered.

If the GM wants to start a new campaign the Cline path is a good start, if they want to slot it in to a existing one as a one off LL2 adventure then being a hastily deputized DoJ team is a good path.

Think I'll make this one of my monthly projects

Has anyone made like, a H0Rus mech based off of Genesic Gao Gai Gar?

I have a few ideas on how it would work, bending space and using that as a defender role that can do really aggressive 1v1 duels. We have to include the Bolting Driver, Broken Magnum/Phantom, Dividing Driver, Gadget Wing, Will Knife, Goldion Hammer, and the Hell and Heaven as parts of it's kit.

Please

[a-crit-roll]

That’s one of the coolest homebrew H0rus mechs I’ve seen.

Horus - "KAMPÊ"

Cage an unshackled NHP, rattles its cage and watch reality unfold

King of Braves Gao Gai Gar but in Lancer as a size 3 H0Rus Defender chassis

I like the drills of this guy..... Looks a tad more SSC to me from the images, but I think SSC could use a size three anyway!

Critical Role Plays Lancer (hypothetical)

What if the core cast of Critical Role played the table top Mecha role playing game Lancer? Here are the CR cast members paired with the most entertaining mechs for their style of play:

Travis Willingham in a HORUS Balor

In the major D&D campaigns Travis has shown a preference for melee combatants who engage with dark unsavory powers. The Balor is a huge mech that eats other mechs using nanite swarms. Those same nanites probably contain the consciousness of freedom fighters-turned-terrorists-turned-into-a-hive mind. It's a perfect match! If the Balor is equipped with an A.I. called a Non-Human Person then there is a possibility that Travis's pilot-character could get eaten by his own mech!

Laura Bailey in a Harrison Armory Barbarossa

Laura apparently likes long-range damage dealers and typically those are very delicate and agile characters. It would be intriguing to see how she'd handle the Barbarossa. The Barbarossa is a tanky behemoth armed with the APOCALYPSE RAIL, an anti-warship weapon that requires the user to stay still in order to charge. It would be very interesting to see if the pilot that Laura creates would fire into a melee scrum and potentially kill her allies to achieve victory. She could play around with the anxiety her pilot would experience while screaming "Get Clear of the Blast! Firing!" Or she could role play as someone totally ruthless who justifies friendly fire with the fact that dead pilots can be flash-cloned and mechs can be salvaged.

Marisha Ray in an IPS-N Tortuga

Marisha Ray is from Kentucky. The Tortuga has Shotguns. The synergy is naturally there, you guys. Joking aside, the Tortuga would give Marisha a lot of role flexibility, she'd be able to defend her friends from enemy advance or she could push into the fray headfirst. If her pilot is tech-savvy, she could even engage in some cyberwarfare which the Tortuga is kind-of good at. Plus the Tortuga comes with a really boring A.I. that could act as the straight man for whatever jokes Marisha's character would come up with.

Talesin Jaffey in an SSC Mourning Cloak

Mr. Jaffey would probably go with a homebrewed mech if given the choice. Since I cannot imagine the Eldritch Mechanism he would craft, I am forced to prescribe him a Mourning Cloak. It is one of the few mechs capable of teleporting, which it doesn't do very precisely. There is a slight chance that Talesin might roll poorly while determining teleport distance, causing his pilot and mech to go... someplace else... and only reappear after the scene is over. He and the game master could have a lot of fun with that.

Liam O'Brien in a HORUS Goblin (warning: robo-codpiece, or maybe you like that kind of thing, IDK)

In tactical table top action, Liam shows a propensity for complexity. And nothing is more complex than the little Goblin which contains more electronics within it than is physically possible. The Goblin can hack allies to make their systems better, hack enemy systems to make them much worse, and even hack reality to make Things happen. Liam could reprise some of his favorite shticks like "I'm just a little guy, give me uppies," and "This goblin is named Nott and is my best friend."

Ashley Johnson in a Harrison Armory Genghis

In the first two major D&D campaigns Ashley played melee damage dealers and then branched out into a wildfire druid in the third. So a striker type mech that plays with fire would be consistent with her previous choices. Enter the Genghis, the carefree pyromaniacs choice of mechanized chassis. The mech builds up heat from weapons like it's Krakatoa flamethrower or a GMS Thermal Lance and then releases it in a blistering-blinding heat cloud. Incendiary damage continues burning victims until they douse themselves so Ashley can just set and forget. Finally I'd love to see what kind of pilot Ashley would come up with who would use a mech that's just as terrifying as the Balor.

Sam Riegel in an SSC Swallowtail (oh gods... please excuse the terrible mspaint job... hopefully this looks funny in a good way)

In D&D, Sam seems to like playing as unconventional back-line characters. He's been a tricky bard, a sneaky goblin/halfling rogue, and most recently a literal healbot with rage issues. So I think the Swallowtail would be a good fit for him. It's less of a mech and more of a high quality holographic movie studio on legs. It can make simulated stunt doubles of allies, use it's cameras to focus in such excruciating detail that invisible subjects are revealed, and even turn itself and everyone nearby invisible so they don't mess up the film shoot. Sam's pilot character could be some kind of propagandist or movie set manager who is infuriated by how messy actual warfare is.

Finally, Last but not least:

Mathew Mercer in an IPS-N Lancaster

I would be automatically fascinated by Mr. Mercer's interpretation of galactic human society in the year 5016u and the journey he would take his players on. But if he was a player then it would be interesting to see him controlling a Lancaster, the apex of mobile field repair platforms. Anything bad that can happen to a mech (damage, burning, hacked, immobilized) can be undone by the reliable Lancaster and it's limited pool of resources. I'm confident Mercer would be able to manage those resources wisely although it would be funny if he didn't. Role playing as his pilot, we'd get to see Matt do his best futuristic tow truck operator impression, which I think would be a very gratifying experience.

[you-are-the-juan-i-want]

Thank you @h0rus for the amazing design!

[wealmostaneckbeard]

Coolant is a pretty important fluid that mech's need for their reactor. I think paint could be used as a coolant...

Been working on this on and off for a bit. Just a little maintenance going on with my Lancer and the bestest Manticore. I have no idea how these mechs would be fueled, but in my head my Lancer's mech is run by space magic paint...fuel...stuff. Because she's got a celebrity background as a popular cartoonist/animator. So why not?

Bonus points if you recognize what I based her art tablet (the small flying dog thing) off of. :P

My Lancer pilot is now H0RUS Approved to pilot this baby and wrangled its bloodthirsty NHP into submission in our last session so it was time to name it and draw it, since this is probably going to be her primary mech from this point onwards

I have a sketch somewhere of her SSC Dusk Wing that I might finish buuuut I have been itching to get my hands on a H0RUS from the get-go and this thing has some very literal personality to it

N4g4 (she/they, pronounced Nah-gah/Naga) is a HORUS hacker (and more!) in my partner Steam's Lancer game! I love them to bits, even if she's uh. A bit mean sometimes. This was just done as a little lofi girl traceover/expansion for a personal mug that I actually own! The first time I got it made, the colors were actually too dull - this is the updated, brighter version. Really had to learn a lesson about how colors translate differently to being put on ceramic.
