Dark Horse Books and Massif Press have teamed to release the Lancer Tabletop Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook, the updated version of the game for fans of giant mechs and the pilots who control them.
LANCER is a mud-and-Lasers tabletop roleplaying game of modular mechs and the pilots that crew them. 15,000 years into the future, humanity has survived near-collapse and has since expanded ever wider into the frontiers of space. Organized by UNION, the central hegemon of the populated galaxy, there exists a rich and vast society rooted in extravagant tech and artificial intelligence. At Union’s heart, the dream of human utopia has been realized–but LANCER is set at the trembling edges of space and time, where Union’s utopian project has not yet arrived.
As a lancer, you pilot a mech as unique as yourself. You are, by training, luck, circumstance, or sheer grit, one of the best. In this era near the golden age, the best are needed: history’s ghosts gather at the edges of Union space. The great work of reconstruction is threatened by the power-hungry, the greedy, the remnants of old orders, and the new heirs to alternate futures.
Who will you fight for? What path forward will you follow? Answer, and see the galaxy shape around you.
I’ve played a few games of Lancer, and it is a very fun game with a lot of dice-chucking and things to make your mech run and smash.
The Lancer Tabletop Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook arrives in stores on June 11, 2024.
