Lancer

We wanted this system in the library before we had time to write it properly, so consider this entry a placeholder. If you've got hours logged with it, we'd love your help turning this into something worth reading - reach out.

Overview

Lancer is a science fiction mech tabletop RPG created by Miguel Lopez and Tom Parkinson-Morgan (better known online as Tom Bloom, creator of the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons), first published by their own studio Massif Press in 2019 after a Kickstarter that raised over $430,000. A second-edition hardcover followed in 2024 in partnership with Dark Horse Comics. Lancer calls itself "mud-and-lasers": hard science fiction and military detail blended with high science-fantasy weaponry, set in a deliberately optimistic future - Union - that its creators built as a direct reaction against the cynicism common to a lot of modern sci-fi.

LANCER: In need of a DM

Combat focused Combat focused
Newbie friendly Newbie friendly
Hello, I'm an European player looking for anyone who'd be willing to run Operation Solstice Rain(or any official Lancer missions) for me and possibly 2 others. I've been playing DnD on and off for about 3-4 years now and have been really interested in trying out other systems for a while now, especially mech oriented ones like Lancer or Beam Saber. Time and day(s) when we play will be further discussed in private messages. I live in the GMT time zone, but I'm no stranger to playing much earlier/later in the day to accommodate others. Due to many of the Lancer starting missions being short(from my understanding), I would prefer for this to be a weekly game, but I'm absolutely fine with bi-weekly too. So far, I've only played online games on Discord and Roll 20, but I'm willing to try out other apps that you might believe are better suited for a Lancer campaign, as long as they're free. My only requirements for a GM are: 1. Have experience with Lancer: On top of looking for someone to run a game, it's very important for me that you have experience with the system. I got the gist of the basics, but I'm a slow learner and having someone to ask questions whenever I feel stuck is essential. I'm okay with an experienced Lancer player that wants to try DM-ing for the first time, as long as you have played the game before and have a good grasp on the system. 2. Be willing to communicate 3. Be 21+ of age

Hello, nice to meet you!  I've been casually on the tertiary of the TTRPG hobby for the better part of 16 years and I'd like to get out there and actually play some more games. The systems listed on my post are all systems I have at least a passing familiarity with but I'm also super open to playing homebrewed and custom systems as well. Socially as a player, I am not one who chases the spotlight but can be a bit of an instigator especially if the rest of my party is lost for direction. I am not one to really argue with the rullings of a DM or attempt to "get my way" in a disruptive manner; we're playing co-op pretend, it's really not that worth getting worked up over. I am in a male/male married relationship and will not make attempts to hide that aspect of myself. #LoveWins

Hiya! I'm Spark (he/him), and I've been playing ttrpgs for about 10 years in Italy. I've played mainly Dnd 5th edition as both a player and a DM, and in the meantime I've learnt a couple other systems. I create and use a lot of homebrew in the campaigns I master, mostly things I have plucked from other systems. I am currently mastering a campaing, so I am not available as a GM right now, but in the future I might. I think roleplay and storytelling is the core of every tabletop experience. Combat/gameplay and RP are not mutually exclusive- I find that how/why a character fights is/should reflect who that character is, and the technical stuff -such as buildmaking- helps make a game satisfying. I love the silly moments in serious sessions and the serious moments in silly sessions. I am happy to teach some things I learnt along the way to unexperienced players. Message me if you think I would be a good fit for your table, whether it's being made or it's already built!

Howdy! 4 year 5e veteran here looking to branch out. Ideally a good mix of roleplay and tactics as a lot of my games have gone too far one way for my taste. I'm interested in any sci fi setting, but ideally dark/cyberpunk. I work in the service industry so my hours can be a little erratic, lots of weekdays and occasional skipped meetings if scheduled in the evening, but I am a committed player who will work hard to make the time. Give me a dm!

Welcome! I'm a giant, obsessed, D&D Nerd, running well over 300 games a year. In short, I play more D&D than is probably healthy. The goal here on the channel is to leverage that obsession, and your own talents, to help one another improve our games of dungeons and dragons, without ALL of us needing to sacrifice a full time job's worth of time on prep and gameplay. If that sounds like a good deal, I'd love to earn your sub! I'd be happy to start by answering ANY D&D question you might have, either in the comments section, on my discord server, or in a dedicated video. Just drop a comment and I'll do my best to help.

Fearless Few Gaming is a cinematic tabletop RPG channel built for a new generation of players, those who want to experience games before they ever sit down at the table. Founded by filmmaker and video production professional Will Ezell, the channel blends high end visual storytelling with practical, no nonsense breakdowns of tabletop RPG starter sets, boxed experiences, and complete entry points into the hobby. Every video is designed with a simple goal: remove the friction between curiosity and play. At its core, Fearless Few Gaming answers a question most channels overlook: “If I buy this box...what is it actually like?” A Channel Built Like a Production, Not a Review /images/general-media/1774041361_6040Hs97.png Fearless Few Gaming doesn’t operate like a traditional review channel. It operates like a production studio. Each episode is structured with intentional pacing, visual storytelling, and layered editing designed to mirror the experience of opening, learning, and playing a game in real time. From cinematic box reveals to dice shots and fully themed environments, every visual element reinforces immersion, not just information. This is not just coverage. It’s translation, taking complex systems, dense rulebooks, and intimidating boxes, and turning them into something watchable, and exciting so that you can decide for yourself. The Starter Set Society /images/general-media/1774041350_XQs9giAp.png The flagship series, The Starter Set Society, is the backbone of the channel and its defining identity. Each episode explores a curated starter set or boxed RPG experience and breaks it down through three lenses: - What’s actually inside the box - How the system plays at the table - Whether it delivers a compelling first session The format prioritizes clarity and momentum. Mechanics are explained lightly and cleanly then the focus shifts to experience. How it feels to play, how quickly players engage, and what kind of stories emerge. Episodes are structured to guide viewers from curiosity to confidence in around ten minutes. Designed for Discovery Fearless Few Gaming is built with discoverability in mind, both for viewers and for the games themselves. Each video is optimized to serve as an entry point into the hobby, using clear framing, accessible language, and tightly structured pacing that respects the viewer’s time while delivering real value. The channel actively targets new and returning players searching for the best way to start tabletop RPGs, positioning itself as a trusted first stop in that journey. It doesn’t just serve existing fans, it helps create new ones to keep the hobby thriving. Tone, Style, and Identity The voice of Fearless Few Gaming is confident, cinematic, and grounded. It avoids over explaining, avoids gatekeeping, and avoids the academic tone that often dominates the hobby. Instead, it delivers insight through perspective: what works, what stands out, and what actually matters when the game hits the table. Visually, the channel leans into bold, high contrast presentation with thematic lighting, stylized environments, and deliberate framing choices that elevate tabletop content into something closer to film. The Mission Fearless Few Gaming exists to make tabletop RPGs easier to start, more exciting to explore, and impossible to ignore. By combining professional level production with a deep understanding of what new players actually need, the channel lowers the barrier to entry for one of the most creative hobbies in the world. It doesn’t just review games. It builds the moment where someone decides to play their first one. Links Youtube channel
