formal gale
#

ancient crag
#

their relationship is so heart wrenching actually brought tears to my eyes a few times

formal gale
#

I'm trying to think if any other 40k books have got me in my emotions other than Gaunt's Ghosts...

#

That is a great series that one

ancient crag
#

I need to listen to that

#

If ya want another good book
Lion son of the forest is also good

formal gale
#

Ahh yep I've heard good things about that one as well!

ancient crag
#

Like Infinite and the Divine not really attached to different characters

#

And a great story

limber fossil
#

grandma squad first session over

#

started off with this banger

formal gale
#

Sounds like you're on to a great start!

limber fossil
#

yeah

#

only the grandmas joined today

#

other two were unable to make it

#

#

it's only been one session but i love Human Eeyore

#

Late to convo but from my knowledge its basically that most NPCs require downloading separate LCPs or purchases. And if youre buying an adventure you should be able to run it as is and not have to rely on further purchases

#

The current act 2 draft contains content from other 3rd party books, lancer enhanced combat and Legionnaire for sitreps and templates, despite the legionnaire fight being cut in yhe most recent draft. However all relevant info was in the appendix, so you didnt need to get the other books

prime terrace
#

It's like "Thanks for spending twenty bucks on igf, now buy these other lancer sourcebooks lmao"

#

meanwhile without other npcs you just need the core rulebook

minor orchid
#

well I just woke up and nothing's set on fire! :D

#

we're all old

#

well, most of us are old

#

like one woman's subjective 130 (real time 200)

#

hell's gate's fate lies in the hands of grumpy milfs

minor orchid
#

HOOOLY!

limber fossil
#

three milfs and our daughter who is an oracle of a god

#

and also one other person but i have no idea what her deal is so uhhh

#

lol

minor orchid
#

surprise deals heh

#

But yes, grandma isn't crotcheting with nelson's lance or baking with sherman's laser

#

They here to teach ya a lesson

limber fossil
#

well i actually do run the hell's gate library

minor orchid
#

-# Oh now that's neat!

limber fossil
#

my PC's technically the "youngest" of the grandmas since subjectively i'm only 80

Omg

#

In the humble opinion of the council (tm)

What is the best mech for CQB?

tame tide
#

Yes

supple carbon
#

Damn

limber fossil
#

whatever grabs the daisy cutter /j

silver pumice
#

it depends on what exactly you want to do i think

tame tide
#

Nelson, Raleigh, tortuga, störtebeker, vlad, caliban, metalmark, mourning cloak, viceroy, white whitch, balor, manticore, ghengis, tokugawa, enkidu, everest, sagamartha and chomolungma

#

And you could probably prove to me more fit

#

Any mech that can pick up a shotgun, a krakatoa, a dsas, etc and can do something good with it is good with CQB

#

Whether thats be a speedy shit, be bulky af, cheat and use a gandiva as a shotgun, is good as CQB

#

Lancers modular, anything can work

limber fossil
#

tagetes with daisy cutter

supple carbon
#

Good to know good to know

Now another question, what's good for a sniper build?

Since i don't know all of the system any help can be of help

dire cloud
#

Goblin works well with shotguns.

prime terrace
#

Raleigh can be good thanks to its reload ability

supple carbon
#

Yeah, i was planning on going death's head on LL2 because of that, but im gonna write that down

noble ivy
#

If you stretch the definition of sniper a bit then monarch is one of the best frames for it

#

And don’t forget about the Pegasus

limber fossil
#

tagetes and death's head are p good snipers

#

the barbarrossa is technically a sniper

tl;dr our german went into a very dangerous area to grapple an operator and drag them back to us like a mom pulls a child by their ear. that operator soon blew up in front of him. we came up with the name "creative solutions" because we had to figure out how to get him back to us because he was dead set on killing this guy. glad he did, we wiped the enemy out that was specifically gunning it for finley

oh hell yeah

the operator ended up completing their aura farming by teleporting in front of two party members, staring them dead in the eyes, passing their turn, and letting their reactor go critical - resulting in a 4d6 damage explosion on top of the normal operator self erasure.

Meow there's a difference between your character being morally grey and you as a player. I think Pixel was just a little upset loosing 2 structure which, as a striker happens. You're fine, don't you worry none

I do adore the "salt shaker of speaking" moment that happened.

autumn birch
#

Act 2 part one: ||loki and Ipswich|| got into a heated argument so Sam tried to get an answer to “what the hell is going on in here.” When they both started talking over each other he pulled them both to a table, sat them down, grabbed a salt shaker and deemed it the talk shaker.

#

Things went smoothly after that

Former dad, he’s had to break up his fair share of fights.

# cerulean valve >tfw an emotional scene is happening and we just eating fries and having milksha...

It's all fun and games until (Act2)||Ipswitch's|| emotional speech about not having made their own choices causes you to start eating fries and milkshakes in the background (melancholy mode). (Backstory)||Quil's a KTB noble, you can guess he's had a lot of decisions made for him. His body's been biomodded, his education, his appearance, all optimised. And he's got some kind of time loop/looped simulation situation going on, so any decision he does make is 'watered down' by all the other hims||

#

Even after waking up I'm still a little proud of myself for making Seal in Blood work immediately after getting it. Made a deal with (act 2)||Odin|| that he can't coerce ||Loki or Ipswitch|| beyond just talking to them.
In character though no idea what I did because bond powers are strange and do not come with instruction manuals.

balmy obsidian
#

It's great

#

Quil and Léo get to talk about magic now it's cool I like it

sometimes you need milkshakes and fries to gulp down the emotions

#

Alright my team is through chapter 1.
(ch1 final fight) ||I kept forgetting how much self heat the pyro flamethrower dealt, and also the existence of the firebreak shield, so they punished my sins by stressing andros twice and causing him to meltdown. I also missed a horrible number of attacks with the berserker by also especially with the breacher who i managed to hit a grand total of 3 attacks with the entire fight, including a double tap on the very last round before i lost.||

minor orchid
#

sometimes the dice want another thing

balmy obsidian
#

I will have my revenge...

worthy root
balmy obsidian
#

we had to ||stress him three times|| !

#

and also you played way better than i did because literally never used the ||clear all heat|| button, like a dumbass draclul

#

I gave them ||andros's flamethrower|| as an exotic (it's literally just the one from ||the genghis license but without the LL requirement||, John Mcdriver the militia man and pirate hater instantly switched his AMR for it

#

Also since I like magic, I wanted to add a bit more mysticism to bonds so on the way back i made up a new character on the spot that is never going to appear again just to fuck with them
Basically showed up in the mess/lounge area of the ship, instantly got threatened by a gun because "who the fuck are you" and "how did you get in here", to which they replied "The tooth fairy" and "Through the door, like anyone would", then they offered a small card reading for them which was as simple as them drawing the arcana from the bond they chose ooc """randomly""" and talking a bit about their shortcomings, beliefs and strength, and then walking out through the door again

supple carbon
#

Damn

balmy obsidian
#

I did ponder about having something happening with either (ch2) ||Anthony Callahan|| or (ch3) ||The Crone|| but I wasn't sure how to do it in a way that I liked, so mysterious card reading while stuck on the ship it is!

#

As a sidenote, "Coronation" from the Project wingman ost is a very good theme for the way back from mission 1 in my opinion

ancient crag
#

Man I need to play that game

It could have but, eh, i dunno, i didn't feel like doing that

#

maybe it'll retroactively become true anyway, who knows

#

That's fair, red herrings are also fun to

heheh reminds me I had an NPC in a City of Mist game quite literally named Frederick Harrington. Who was meant to be a red herring

Why are the pilots called lancers?

Does it have to do with the historical meaning of lancer or something else?

fallow dagger
#

Cuz we're the goddamn Calvary

supple carbon
#

I buy it

clever cloud
#

it's a dramatic pseudo title. like Aces irl

supple carbon
#

That doesn't tell me much but makes sense

formal gale
#

If you're a Karrakin pilot you're a Kavaliere instead I think?

balmy obsidian
#

because they go on tv tropes dot com too much and everyone agrees that leader is for chumps and lancer is where all the cool kids gather

formal gale
#

So presumably Lancer = go to name for reallly cool pilot, but if you wanted some regional/ specific titles instead thats fine

supple carbon
#

Okok, thanks

What are others names for a lancer?

formal gale
#

I think that's kinda it in the books sadly?

whatever is cool tbh

dragoons, aces, elites, etc

clever cloud

sky's the limit, there's just no other examples in the books, but anything goes

supple carbon
#

Just to confirm the name Lancer has nothing to do with The Lancer from the five man band

balmy obsidian
#

Incorrect, every player group must canonically a five man band with 5 Lancers

#

For maximum ANGST

#

uh I mean, character development ™

ancient crag
#

hey, the typical max of any lancerr campaign is five folks

#

SO!!! Every Lancer game has the opportunity for the five man band

supple carbon
#

Do we have to fight each other to be The Lancer (tm) or we just pass it around from time to time?

A general question, what is the funniest thing that has happened in a battle that isn't a spoiler?

ancient crag
#

A very important question

upbeat hemlock
#

My party getting their melee guy 32 spaces across the entire long side of the map to an objective in one turn through a combination of Everest core power, goblin puppet systems, and friendly fire with knockback

#

And my other party having their mine specialist charge all the way across the map in a similar manner, only to find themselves in range of the entire enemy team and getting wrecked

#

Timing is important

#

Oh, they also got knocked back onto their own mines

west phoenix
#

an allied mirage using metafold shove on a poor immobilized bastion to teleport an ally to move them around 30-35 spaces

#

the bastion knew it was coming too and could do nothing to stop it; i planned it out in advance and told the players but not my gm that i was going to do it

supple carbon
#

Damn

west phoenix
#

that is mostly the reason i play what i do now. i once teleported an ally and i like 40 spaces with a blink charge to leave an extraction because i placed the blink anchor right at the entrance. eleonor gave me control of that NPC and now it's my goal to ruin her fun
