God yeah it was. Had them go through a complex that was originally gonna be a maze and a half.......Tortuga with siege ram said otherwise lol
hopefully the Tort and Duilius synnergize as well as their fluf suggest
Honestly they do. Tort can smash a hole in a wall and Duilius can plug it and then fire the arc projector in the room frying everything in it.
In a nutshell yeah. They smashed their way through the complex, accidentally surprised their bonus objective, 2/3 turned him, and then went and stole all the data. Was great
sth sth the shortest distance between two points is a straight line
Best part was they made a music request for the sitrep. They asked for Ghost Division by sabaton
hellooo - sorta had this answered already, but anyone know of some good synergies from TM&T stuff to throw on a Caliban? been pointed to some Dullius bits already but wondering if there's other bits too
Brudenell LL2 has a system that lets you choose the dirrection when you apply melee knockback
ooo 
i've been pointed in the direction of duilius for legion and possibly arc suppressor too
Probably already been said but Brudenell and Duilius work magnificently.
Oh this fucks
oh god, IPSN got their hands on the atlas
#1150099146620018708 message
but seriously it looks super cool
Kenshi Vibes: The Mech.
Interesting. The main source I can think of for Ambusher triggers is probably mines, which is a pretty interesting combination with Atlas gear.
YES
PEAK AESTHETIC
Hey, part of the group that's helping @cerulean smelt playtest. I have a question and perhaps some feedback about Dagon. With the Haunt free action granted by #_UR Packet, can you destroy ANY digital construct, or only one created by the Yellow Signal? If the latter's the case, that should probably be specified.
Actually, after looking at it harder, it's clear that it's specifically Yellow Signal constructs.
Got a player absolutely Arthurmaxxing
Atlas MMG trip wire
this fucks pretty hard
Also prepare action ;)
oooh
Hows Arthur btw
Btw, how do you pronounce Xerces?
Zer-sees
Dope, I got it right
Overall, I quite like it, kickass visual design with very cool and good mechanical design
I love how consistent you are with theese dude
Absolute bangers everytime
how do you do it
when you think of making new mechs
do you often base the design idea on the abilities
or vice versa
what usually comes first
I usually have an archetype/vibe in my head, then i make the kit to evoke that vibe, then i draw based on the original vibe
My playtest today went amazing with Arthur
It's such a good blend between team support and all-out damage
My players had a really good time playing as and with the arthur
I do wonder if we should redesignate it striker/support, sometimes :P
Had 4 players this time around
What was everyone else in?
A Rat King
A Dagon
A Brudenell
An Arthur
arthur looks pretty fun
All LL6, went up against 8 veterans
Dagon absolutely popped off, which is the lovely @open bison here
Sacraficial spear and Ur_Packet is absolutely terrifying in all the right ways
Our Brudenell had a blast ramping up all their kinetic battery charges, ended up knocking some poor soul across the map
Can absolutely confirm that let me tell you
Had an instance where a bombard went ham on our Rat King and ended up dealing 21 explosive damage-
didn't even get the chance to use the poor drones
but regardless they built them back up
excellently quick
Rat King is prime aoe target
pretty good that way ngl
I really appreciate you doing these playtests for us, by the way
No problem! My players and I absolutely adore this LCP so it's no work at all
Seeing Arthur in practice has definitely made it my favourite out of the bunch
Can't wait to see more Albatross styled mechs
π€ Spartan SSC mech when π€
I've certainly had good tactical fun with the frames I've been playing so far.
Mech scale slingshot when 
Next we're thinking of trying out Dragontail, Painted Lady (despite the incident), and big ol' Six Billion Passwords
So we'll def get back to you guys on that
Six Billion Passwords is a lot of fun
I played them a little (only up to LL2 tho) in the campaign I'm in
Looking forward to hearing how it goes!
it really is. during my playtest, I got throttled by AOE. I made it out in tact but my drones sure didn't. was fun though.
will probably be ratmaxxing again. that thing speaks to me pretty carnally.
The sexual tension between me and Arthurmaxxing
XD
the rat king is what I wished the hydra could be
i honestlly really wanna play a dagon
if only cause the first time i looked at it, i didnt see the art (i was on mobile comp/con), and so my immediate first image was a massive fuck of lindwurm style dragon
LINDWYRMS <3333
just curling around buildings and squishing mechs
all while being the hacker of the team
perhaps some future concepts
i absoulktly love designs that seem to represent the opposite of what they do
a massive hacker, a tiny melee
contrasting designs my beloved
a goblin you've hooked a d/d 288 to
which is a legitamenta build a friend of mine who im getting into lancer made
The Barbarossa moving at the speed of a freight train:
we've all made at least one d/d288 goblin.
the best part is theres a whole core bonus that supports it
A sword-swinging agility well with spider legs and the shortest torso alive
the hivemind
irony
the way i flavored the dagon was, it was a custom 'Remorhaz' pattern frame, that utilized a custom reactor/processing sysytem that ran computer systems all along the spine/frame of the thing, and then using a massive hollow crevice as a giant heat sink/heat esxiting system
the other theme of the build was fucking around with heat
it used burst launchers and cooling rod gun to fire fireballs
FUCKUNG DISCORD KEEPS CRASHING AT THE END OF MY MESSAGES
i dubbed it the "Balefire"

One of my players ran a mech named I Can't Remember Who I Was, a size 2, flying, striker Lich, who would regularly go Invisible from Metalmark, used GMS Weapons, and Sherman systems
It used Barbarossa Token Art.
that is the message that took me six minutes of crashing to type
worth it
ive flavored the ERESHKIGAL-Class as a the thing just literally eating mechs
Least dedicated soldier of TM&T:
Lmfaoo
hey wait
is the name supposed to sound like teenage mutant ninja turtles when you abbreviate it
No (or at least I don't think so) but it's a funny coincidence
me, my sputnik, my sputnik, my sputnik, my sputnik, and my assassin drone all have some shit to say and by god are we gonna do it
RAT KING SWEEP πππππ
This has strong vibes of "Me, my buddy, my other buddy, my other other buddy-"
together we will tangle our tails and consume all
Teamp composition? Wrong. Rat Attack. πππππππ
no its actually very important to understand that we arent fusing
we are all connected by the tail
we are not graveful in the slightest
I wonder what happens in a 4 player game where everyone is a rat king
our minds have not joined, just our forms
I would kill to play that
im on winter break i will play that
All fun and games till the fucking mountain of drones begins swallowing Goliaths
I've already got a vision for my next rat king
Fuck it we keen?
"THE ALBTROSS SURE THINKS THEY KILLED THE MAW BUT THEY HAVENT MET FUCKIN US"
I'd be up for it tbh
SPUTNIK'S SWEETHEART - HORUS RAT KING
that name is actually a double pun only I and the most based individuals on the fucking planet would get
i mean, i am\
any weatherday fans in chat if so we are so fucking back
cant today but my schedule is otherwise open
Same here
oh goodness, I have work!
Well, ofc timezones may be an issue
Has anyone been geryonmaxxing yet
I'm at work!
but yeah, if someone will run it i will play the all rat king party
The weekends are probably the best for me
Can also do weekdays after 5PM UTC
on the off chance people are available on Wednesdays (CST) I'm so fucking gaming
because I do work weekends
im avaliable just about any time that works
I should be free on Wednesday after work
fuck it we ball??? we might ball.
The Rat Packβ’
π π π π
1 (one) Bombard later
The Rat God
literally the definition of "they can't stop all of us"
Dip into Napoleon
What LL will this be, btw?
fuck if I know! has anyone even volunteered as GM?
feels like maybe a higher one like around 6 if we wanna survive as 4 rat kings
dope
I've never been a player so def not me
not it
Hey eisen- /j
(plus i dont have enough expierence to run a game yet)
I want an excuse to finally play lmfao
just 3 rat kings chanting in a circle around an effigy of eisen
Who is da big rat that makes all da rules, though
can i suggest, all the frames be named after different old kings?
perhaps all with rat puns
My mind immediately jumps to heratcles
I'll add a flight system and call it the Bat King
just love watching my favorite part of lancer so far, which is just how fast a shitpost-level idea can become something viable and playable
every dumbshit idea is a good idea
I could in theory GM but I'm not great at narrative stuff
Could count it as a playtest and just go with light narrative
this toke 10 minutes to escalate to this
hey I actually do have a question though
Hm?
omg
How does entangled work
we are all entangled
For allies
Entangled with my pookies
I don't have the lcp on hand
I'm.. Not entirely sure
Hey @covert surge
we are all rat kings, we all myst be entangled
hey terk? hey terk can allies be entangled?
I know love exists, because I literally can't get away from this guy
the amount of team composition you would have to destory to achieve this, it must be okay
I'm in bed and can't check the LCP rn
are you kidding. this is actually just viable. you people havent played enough zerg & it shows
Has anyone tried a terashima rat king??
terashima rat king is an interesting cade
we have switched from chanting around the eisen effigy to chanting around the terk effigy
im just imagining floating ball-drones with a full katana sticking straight out of it
its a heavy
NAHHHH Rat King with the Caestus
rat king dont have a heavy mount
I forgor
But I suppose I can GM tomorrow (if nobody else wants to), as much as I'd like to play
Lemme throw a when2meet up and we can see if the times work out
wait
this could be so busted so easy
Anything for the bit
but it also requires atleast 2 rat kings
The Bitβ’
Should I just include tomorrow in the when2meet or a week's worth?
oh I cannot be here tomorrow
Mighty Morphin' Rat Rangers
I have work tomorrow
I do not have work the next day
unless by tomorrow you mean
well
I think RaW it works? Since to get entanglement the two drone swarm must touch
what do you mean when you say tomorrow
I thought you said wednesday was fine
but
yeah Wednesday is fine. right. today is Tuesday for most people huh.
And when touching all drones that are touching counts as entangled to the main rat
today is my Monday. I work the night shift.
i think the thing im thinking about is that all rat kings are entlangled always
it is Tuesday, but I will be available Wednesday evening. but I do work, on Tuesday, which eats into Wednesday, but only Wednesday morning
i feel like honestly, it would be fun if we allowed it for this, and then we also get to test how broken it is
that won't make sense but trust me
buddy! pal! literally everyone on the team can move at once
Gonna sleep more but I'll fill it out later
which i think is a bit rare
@cobalt sonnet @rain topaz @cerulean smelt
Also select your timezone
In the top left
Nah that doesnt work the movement mirroring only applies to entangled drone
I don't get how this works
You essentially select your timezone, then click and drag over the times you'll be available
And the thing overlays everyone's availability
Basically all of RK shenaningan are keyed to drone specifically
So you wont be able to mirror movement or teleport with other RK
boy, that website sucks on mobile
Would we be using VC?
I mean I will
Yuuup
anyway I put that in? I think?
ive got a small window. If nothing's available, oh well, I'll go do something else.
im up for it
It'll be fiiiine
Gonna ping myself to remind me of this when I wake up, tho
@raven socket
some straight up early birds in chat rn. whatevah, I'm game.
better for me that way
im not open on the 24th or 25th, cause i got birthday and Christmas stuff to work with
oh right lmao Christmas! Just A week Away!
I'm not quite used to VC but I'll tough it out anyway
Can you believe it guys? Woohoo!
I am so happy with this information!
yeah, i do have a poor family member with a birthday on the 24th of december
You don't have to if you'd rather not, it's okay
Don't want anyone to be uncomfortable
Nah it'll be aight! New experience for me so I'll put in the mahi and give it a go
well shit I guess the rat pack is a go for Early Morning Activities. go team go. rat attack
im hoping ill get a preorder for the 2nd printing of the core rulebook
we have dubbed ourselves the rat pack, what part of that suggests to you functional sleep schedules?
Biggie Cheese
awww but my emo mech naaames
also, how does ll6-8 sound?

this was my rat last time I played
sounds great to me
ll6 I'm happy with
6 seems good for me aswell
the perfect rose π₯Ί
I love it
lets us play but also have some hp/stuff to work with
the rose in question:
so rosey
is it a rose because of all the air-freshener used to disguise the sewage smell?
I still love the image I made for my sputnik drones. absolutely phenomenal creature.
just incrdible
a hideous mess of vines desperately trying to look beautiful
oh yeah, we using a vtt?
true
ill roll with whatever it is
I've only used Owlbear Rodeo
I usually use tabletop sim but most people ain't me, I'm content with whatever
i dont have foundry, though i suppose i can also do roll20 if need be
It's very easy to use
isn't foundry free on player side, just not GM? or am I thinking of something else?
I dunno I've never used it
It'll be foundry
Free for the players
Yeah I thought Foundry was free if a link was proivded
supplement wise, we allowing all the official stuff, +terk?
there we go
tabletop sim does everything it does but 3d I've never needed it
Yup
dope
can i weasel legionnaire into that or no go?
Legionnaire my beloved
we should do this raw dogged
Sure, why not
we should prove that the rat kings can handle each other alone
WOO
need we stand up on a throne of others beneath us? nay. we are rats.
What's going on?
A'ight, nap time
Will talk later
Rest well!
we're gathering a session for a playtest
Oh, cool.
full rat pack
Have fun.
full rat pack
Sounds chaotic.
all rat kings
should we communicate the roles we are going for?
i think i kinda wanna go a defender style
make the beefiest rat i can
expect me to do something stupid controller focused
I mean, we're all gonna be striker controller, tis the life. the question is how much
it ain't released yet
only released content
you'll have more than enough
MORE than enough
you'll be fine

Would this be viable
kinda psycho but fuck it we ball
I'll prolly end up as the rather stock Hydrat
i think i have decided on a name for my rat
"Eraticate The Tyrants In Bloodstained Robes"
the first name idea i had was something with "ratican"
ive dubbed the pilot callsign "Nosoi"
greek spirit of plague and illness
now to figure out the build
oooooh
ive had an idea
perhaps something with mines
oooooh mine king
then i attach a detonator to my sputniks
just will need to see how much it would cost to do this
can rat kings throw reverse guillotines?
no but wait, all at the same target
cant get a guillotine wall
how does the unraveler interact with target acquired?
how does it interact with the sacrificial spear?
yeah im starting to really lean towards making the tank of rat kings
does hyperdense armor's half damage extend ot sputniks?
like would i be dealing with halved, then halved again damage?
cause i think im gonna try and get atleast 3 ips-n licenses
casue the core bonuses are just so good for making a tanky thing
must resist the urge to grab the blackspot targeting laser
already made a rat king build with that
mix it up
oooh
sharanga missiles
would the sputniks benefit from being able to target 2 people?
honestly
if someone wants to synergize
ill invest in getting formorian and mule harness
i think im going to focus in on creating burst areas
i wanna kinda build a like advancing tide i think
holy crape
the invigorates one could pull off with this team
should i go blackspot targeting laser or veil rifle?
okay, i have my tentative rat king build

ive gone for a sort of advancing-tide style mortering build
grabbed the held image so i can be constantly triggering the turret drones
plus some stuff to support allies with bolstering, the invigorate from drone commander 3 to mess people up
i also grabbed puppet master so i could move every single of the most likely 15 drones on the field at once
its an armor commander
with a sort of heavy armored rat king
Hold on, I think you're missing an Aux weapon to pair with your Sharangas?
the targeting laser is shoulder mounted and the sharanga missiles a big handheld morter thing
sharanga are main i believe
yep
Yeah. Mount retrofitting gives you a Main/Aux.
im using imrpoved armament
just a second flex mount
the whole build is basically a slow walk towards the enemy as i saturate them with missiles and build up a drone army
Oh. The Sharangas were listed as being on a Retrofitted mount, so I got confused.
this bad boy can throw out about 13 drones at max
7 sputniks and 6 regular drones
actually 14, with 8 sputniks if i pop core power
can you tell this guy is a revolutionary
have i layered enough rebellion themes onto it
bro also has a wooping 7 repair
I barely understand it but I love it.
hes kinda a controller, but only so much that if you move towards him, he will start destroying you
i truly hope i get to use puppetmaster to move like 30 drones at once
if i had more licenses levels/sp i would prob have sprung for an assassin drone, to feed into the bombarding theme
but yeah, i think im only gonna equip sputniks with the blackspot
cause the most damage the sharanga can do on a sputnik is 1, and the sputnik also doesnt benefit from its 2 targets thing with sputniks either
while the targetting laser could deal up to 2 energy damage, and one the sputniks hit things it buffs there next attack
and it can apply lock on, further buffing the turret drones
Sharingas would do 2 damage, you round up
AH
thank you good sir
though on the plus side, sharanga and blackspot have the same range
can you tell i put too much thought into what is technically a joke build
Those are the best builds though
that ive built the "ERATICATE THE TYRANTS IN BLOODSTAINED ROBES" to play in a game called the rat pack
the fun thing is i think the party will actually have to consitencies shared by all
we all will be using rat kings, and i think we all will have atleast drone commander 1
ive just realised, your running sympathic shield with 9 hp?
it costs an hp to put out a drone
shh
what do you think about the Eraticate
this one, yes?
yes
that slaps ngl
clutched with the retrofitted mount
Javelin rockets are gonna be fun
yeah, originally i was thinking of pulling some ssc stuff with a veil rifle and mounringcloak vijaya rockets, and mount retrofitting, but then i realised i could change some stuff up
oh?, are they particularly notorious?
this will sadly be one of my first times playing, so i dont have a ton of experience
(by sadly i mean because i haven't had other chances, not sadly that this is one of my first games)
I've never had experience with them, but I can say for sure that Monarch's my favourite license for a reason π
Big fuck-off rockets
And ofc pairing that with a sea of drones
nowhere to run
Yes
We are controllers not because we direct you, just because everywhere we dont want you to be is filled with gun-toting roombas
Release the babies.
I truly am so excited to puppet master 34 drones at once
And also, drone commander 3's invigorate is gonna be wild
We will surround and then I will zap all of them
"On today's episode, we'll be turning 34 drones into a thermonuclear warhead!"
Also, since yours flies, I cant help but imagine it just laying eggs midair that hatch into drones
oh lord
I planned something more akin to a vampire disintegrating into many, many bats
or Malzeno from Monster Hunter
I fully intend to just stand in the tide, walking slowly forward with our growing army of drones as you folks pick people off
Ah, going more hydra then, with the tactical dismenberment
Themeing wise, all of the Eraticate's drones are exactly the same
They are all bulk-ish walking turrets
With the sharanga more of a big handheld mortar situation
I might replace sysop if someone wanted to get bonded with me
If I didnt have to walk to an appointment in a few minutes I'd probably be putting together a max ll version of Eraticate
Oh god that'd be frightening
I'm also very proud of the name, I think it strikes a good balance between rat pun and badass name
May do touch-ups on mine, but I've got plenty of time
Yeah
We prob wont be out of our mechs will we?
No matter what, I will end up building a backstory for my boy
Nothing more fun than building proper backstories for characters we'll use like once
One use chars still matter
Yeah
I just realized that some of the Terks mechs combine with some of the BDF(Baronic Defense Force) frames horrifyingly well ........
The Akinaka and Rat king working together is just........yikes
Where can I find the Baronic Defense Force LCP? I've been looking and it doesn't seem to be anywhere (though I haven't checked here).
It just got added here like yesterday
found it
@rain topaz @cerulean smelt @raven socket hey gays girls and gamers I fucked up. totally entered the wrong available dates on the sheet . I am not gonna be available here in 12-ish hours like I wrote that I would, I'm still at work during that time. hit me like a truck. my bad.
just shift all my available days one spot to the right. if we can do it Thursday at the same ish time, that would be fine by me
my bad, I'm sorry
I had gotten so used to looking at & using my work schedule, and since I work between days (I start shift at 10pm, end at 8am), I had gotten so used to thinking of the next morning as the same day, that it didn't even occur to me
Oh wait
I'm stupid
Nevermind we're fine? Sorry for the ping!
boy, I really thought I fucked it up. I guess we're good
now we just need nexa to be on the thing t osee where we line up
I might tag along if wanted. But also, I know it's Rat King central, and I don't have a unique Rat King idea.
Had an idea for making a small firing squad with dual paracausal weapons. Def not using anything involved to its highest potential, but could be funny. Would probably be more effective with just the one paracausal weapon and more drones, but f-it we ball.

clarification
with target acquired, do you make a separate attack roll for each sputnik?
and also, are all the sputnik attacks considered to happen simultaneously
or could sputniks benefit from a blackspot bonus from another previus sputnik?
(also, should i replace sysop with house guard 2?)
ive also figured out more about ramese's backstory
- yes
- believe so, yes
- probably
- yes. hg2 is goated on this thing
...do we need one??
Born on an Armory world, Ramese worked as a sanitation worker, before he discovered that during a routine physical checkup, the Armory had taken some of his DNA and used it to create flash clones of him. After a mysterious Horus affiliated hacker, called OMUS, showed him the evidence, he decided to construct a chassis, with help from OMUS, from old disposal drone parts and various salvaged armory materials. He is now on a quest to find the flash clones of himself, while screwing Harrison Armory over in the process.
no, i just put way too much effort into one-off characters
it is unlikely that any of this comes up in the game, its just both fun and important for me to make
his rat king is very bulky
which is funny, cause even though i put nothing in evasion, it still has 5 speed
do you have your build yet?
not yet I've been at work
I'll probably be doing something similar to what I did last time, but with rifles instead of shotguns
besides, I've still got a day ahead of me & I don't have work tomorrow
we have a flyer, and a like slow artillry guy so far
I can cook a mech & some token art for it in the mean time
so. uh. how is the flyer supposed to. work?
you wanna be adjacent to as many drones as possible
its this thing
that actually might end up being an issue for him
the thing I vibe with is the twenty ferrofluid lances
I had considered that option
yeah we have a bombarding titan (metaphorically speaking, as its still a rat king), and a lancing flyer
flight is a. choice. for this.
i can cover moving our drones around en-mass with puppetmaster
Ill probably just be generalized control
I'm definitely gonna take at least one level in Hydra. probably more for assassin drone
and also my blackspot laser should boost everyone
yeah, we dont yet have one fully focused on just throwing out as many drones as possible
especially since if you don't have centimane 2 you're throwing
mine can only do 14 with core pop
how the fuck did you get 14 out of that
keep in mind in order to spawn one
you need to place a normal drone
so how the hell are you spawning 14 normal drones
and you get an extra from core
oh you mean total
yeah
in total

i might replace skirmisher with centimane now
where's your centimane 2
Can't you also in theory recall a drone and re-deploy it for more sputniks?
...maybe? but the biggest cap there is your own actions economy
yeah
it actually might be possible
in order to get real work outta that
You can. This came up before and i allow it because it obliterate your action economy
yeah
you'd prolly need to be at least level 9-ish
i think ill stick with just throwing out drones
And its a way to function even after expending almost all drone charges
plus, you cant recall turrets and those are my main sputnik generators
The drones follow movement right? I figured they'd be able to follow me if I use some sort of flight
uhhh
and i think its just more valuable to keep my sentinals out
I don't think they can fly
terk, can they fly like with hydra?
π€
I'm. pretty sure not
and it takes an hp to throw a drone out too
As it is no but i might allow it for next version where if you can fly they can fly too
I made the mistake of running h6a0s6e0 for my first rat king
you do NOT need that much hull
Shrimply cat and mouse away
indeed
im running with a decent amount of hull but thats cause i want to play a heavy guy
I wasn't playing enough like a discount lich
pay no attention to the bombard on the horizon
bombard these nuts
thats why im here
Bomber? I hardly know her
to bombard right back
so in that case should I say fuck it we ball and treat the entangled drones like they can fly or should I just go with a new build
I think you should just go with something new
i like the flying
Cause I fully thought 'follow your movement' meant they could just come along
like. just now?
Test the flying version, see if anything breaks, if not ill put flying into the next version
πͺ πͺ πͺ
alright well alright then
ashberry, right on the front lines of cutting trash-rat tech
Uncle Terk coming in clutch
our newest innovation, strapping jet engines to the gun-roombas
i do think its really cool
I can imagine aoes can still screw with me regardless of flight
I think practically. I should probably be dipping like. saladin or something?
but I just. don't. like it?
we do still need nexa to put in their available time on the when2meet
weren't they the one who set it up
yeah, we dont yet have a full drone spam guy
I could a sworn they were on there
we all have drones, cause its a rat king, but noone is yet fully focused on it
i think go something else
i got the tank covered
if you say so
we must test all facets of the rat
(play what you want, just think variety would be interesting)
Accurate asf
or anthrochauvs
Might tweak my build a wee bit to fit the whole vampire aesthetic
oooh
Cause I do wanna go for the whole sympathetic shield + cat and mouse combo
yeah
but I'm not sure if that could work
ask terk
easy way to know if they interact the way you think they do
mmm
camus's razor
both cat and mouse and camus's razor are 1/round reactions
meaning you cant trigger them both
yeah
also Im pretty sure sympathetic shield wouldn't have worked either cause it's a hostile attack
to trigger cat n mouse
lemme check
yeah, i dont think it works
it might be nice to try and coordinate to fill our spots
cause my plan is to be the marching tide of drones
Singularity Motivator is looking kinda juicy rn..
i can move mine with puppetmaster, rat kings entanglement, and sheperd
oooh
yeah, you thinking of really focusing in on being targetted by and then avoid damage?
just jumping around
cause i can cover getting buffs on attacks and the like
seems like eisen may be going for a controller/drone spam style build

Better?
I gotta draw this mech it's so neat
After this, I reckon we should do a oneshot with only Arthurs
My favourite part of Lancer is when the pilot said "It's Arthurin' time!" and Edged all over the place
i was gonna say that would leave people very vulnerable, but that actually means you could cover each other your off-turns
knights of the roundtable
chanting quietly in the back: art! art! art! art!
im debating changing my talents
If my motivation doesn't flunk out on me
cause the thing is is that shadowcloak and skirmisher soft cover both disable when you force a save or make a hostile action
and my rat king is basically only doing those 2 things
actually
deploying drones doesnt do that i dont think
and it could cover during stablizings
i do fully intend to use my puppetmaster and drone commander to fry people with the combined teams drones
okay, im keeping shadowcloaked
but im unsure about skirmisher
cause i dont think i need skirm 2 atleast
cause i have enough movement at base
the way im flavoring my cat and mouse stuff is through my things have a sorta mist/smoke thing that just makes its hard for sensors to tell where exactly i am
Do a Fate/Stay Night party. HA Arthur, IC Acastus, MOI Medea, and IC Heracles.
i call dibs on Acastus
i love a boy who pulls out 15 swords in 1 minute
also, ive realised, turret drones dont trigger through lock on consumes
what thing am i think of that does that?
(its not a talent)
I genuinely wanna play in a campaign where it's just a bunch of knight mechs π
uhmm
doesn't ring a bell to me idk
hm
does anyone wanna become bonded?
i have an open talent point
i also have house gaurd 2 so the accuracy i think can be gotten easyier
i'm a little too all over the place for bonded
true
lemme find something then
oooh
i could take combined arms 1, but i dont thing i wanna be engaged enough to use it
maybe exemplar
maybe leader
leader could possibly be a nice supporting buff
ooh, stormbringer could be good aswell
yeah, that hooks into my locking on and my sharanga
Launchers my beloved β€οΈ
Also I want to apologize in advance, but this oneshot will be my first time as an actual player
honestly, me aswell
Cause I've been DMing Lancer since the start of the year
Now I get the opportunity to play and I'm so hype
its very exciting
im kinda in love with the vibes of the Eraticate
its kinda inspired by this image a bit
ooh?
ok i thought that was a clown nose for a second when i glanced at my phone
XD
honk honk π€‘
that and kindat he morter titans from titan fall 2
atleast the sharanga is
when i make a character i generally like thinking about both the mechanics and how they are represented in the fiction
like the targetting laser is shoulder mounted, the drone are manufactuer and popped out of the back
they all have kinda chunky legs, cause moving the drones around is a big thing i wanted to do
Also, because I thought of it after my Fate/Stay Night suggestion, you can also do a Fate/Apocrypha party with RKF Mordred, IC Atalanta, IPS-N Vlad, and MO&S Frankenstein.
atalanta's cool
i love its take on a paradox being not "oh god, temporal stuff, we need to be so carfeul not to make a paradox", but instead "dear god, we just started researching this thing and now we have all the plans, and if we dont spend the next 70 years making this we will rip apart spacetime, im going to punch who ever is going to have done this in the taint so many times when i find out"
was bored, so i made a LL12 version of NOSOI

yeah
he uses a lot of liscnese to do what he does
had to do a little searching to find a ll1 system that only toke 1 sp, but i eventually landed on the IFF Spoof from painted lady
I love the Spoof
yeah
Ughh
I need to get a battlemap made for tomorrow
what for?
Shape terrain like an amogus
To play Lancer on with you three?
i dont think youve yet linked yourself in the when2meet
cause it only says 3 people
so thats why i was unsure if we had a set date yet
Ahh, gotcha
but dope
@rain topaz @cerulean smelt @cobalt sonnet Does the slot tomorrow or the day after work better for you all?
i can do either
(vote now on your phones)
yeah, if we have a preference id go for friday, but either works for me
Hey I gotta player who is wanting to run the IPS-N stealthy boy. What talents and other licenses would y'all recommend?
i think 1 obvoius is infilitrator
either are fine
tomorrow is fine
tomorrow is probably ideal
i have a session thursday (evening) and friday (evening) so doing something thursday (morning) is fine by me
i usually fall asleep not long after the window ends
then we just need ash
the session would be planned to be from 3-6 o clock correct?
and are we using owlbear rodeo?
ello?
What's that?
We were gonna be using foundry
I think he's going to do that and crackshot in conjunction with the anansi license to get the hyperfauna sniper rifle and the suppressor so he can fire from hidden and not lose it.
ah okay
its another vtt
sorta lightweight, but it does have a witchdice extension which hooks into lancer
and it does hexes good
Eh, prefer foundry
Now, about bloodhound's question..
Anyone have any thoughts? I haven't really messed with the frame yet
is foundry free?
ok
But I already own it, so
how do i access the player version?
I send you a link at game time
demoltionist because lol mines
@ornate verge
the best way to hide is to make sure there's no one even remotely close enough to find you, and then keep it that way
which sounds a lot like, "the most powerful condition you can inflict on your opponents is dead", but thats not what i meant
right up there with "reactor stress is a resource"
Spotter or Orator also works if you are completely mine focused
prospector with infiltrator lets you dynamic entry into a group of enemy, garuntee the prone from creating the entrance, trigger infiltrator 3 to throw a flashbang and skeedadle back to relative safety
the reason terk makes mechs is because if he was allowed to devote all his creative energy to making core lancer builds, we would have a build that can kill Ra
I mean, we all know the best way to take down an Eidolon/Deimosian is a bunch of Pegasus frames with Paracasual Modded weapons whilst popping Core
Okay I will absolutely pass that on to the lad. They're gonna be running an extraction sitrep with an Artillery Bombardment secondary objective. The team so far is the IPS-N stealthy lad, a Duskwing, a shotel when things get loud/they need a distraction, and either an anansi, deaths head, or a Pharos for long range fire support( the last one hasn't decided yet)
Anansi would be my choice cause the smoking spider needs more love
Yup yup! Sounds good for me!
They're leaning towards it cause a silenced hyperfauna rifle sounds hilarious to them.
Oh nice!
Wait, question for the Arthur's Clarent. Does it have +1 accuracy by default or is that tag there because of the +1 accuracy it gets on the second attack?
Be default
Alright.
Second attack goes up to +2 acc because of it
Incase the fact that this is a weapon designed to fish for executioner 2 wasnt clear :P
Is speed 8 Rat King too fast?
No such thing
just to confirm, the game starts at 3 pm today, correct?
Does using IFF Spoof on someone count as "locking on" for the purposes of some talents like Spotter 3:
"As a quick action when you Lock On, you may nominate..."
It probably wouldn't count for Spotter 2 which says "take the lock on quick action", but Spotter 3 seems a little ambiguous
counts for spotter 3, same as blackspot

if we ever dont have invigorate up
im losing
wait, your heat is 0?
ill probably be keeping near the backlines with all but sentinels
plinking with 1 burn sputnik drones
& spamming out with asura
i can spam 8 drones in 1 turn. i cant do that again, but i can do it.
dope
i can cover moving all the drones forward if youd like to focus on just throwing them out
dope
thats why i grabbed it
im going for kinda a general/commander vibe honestly
leading the troops forward with a guiding hand
but it seems like we are doing good compostions wise
we have someone in the back, someone in the middle, and someone presumably in the front
i think around 3 pm today
i should prob find a token to represent my drones honestly
im hype asf
i need a drone hex
im just gonna use the alt-atlas art for my frame token
is there somewhere i can get just like a default turret hex token?
oh fuck we need custom tokens??
i dont think so
i just think we need any tokens
ping nexa and ask
hey @cobalt sonnet can i borrow one of your ^ for my drone art?
i aswell
still have yet to decide if im doing a voice for my guy
which vc will we be using?
an...atlas?
all my drones look the same
the sputnik
yeah ok
oh
thats gonna be difficult to tell em apart at a glance, but i aint your boss
no
the atlast is the rat king, cause i dont have a rat king hex handy, and the atlas alt fits the vibes of the character decently well
i might actually add an indicator of what type of drone each is
cause while fluff wise all of NOSOI's drones look the same, the mechanical functions should be useful to remember
i also need to fix the white background
i never use 2d vtts i forgot ill have to add the hex bg
i also forget were using hex
i can give you a hex template
k
no your 7 squares ahead of me
whereas i am zooming around the bestagons like a cool man
no. above.
Not one but two crabs
i mean, eventually they will all be crabs
there, finally found the image i was looking for this whole time
this was a session i ran
3d, fully animated background map, multiple layers, and moving terrain
damn
fancy smanshy
behold
remarkable
theres no time i aint making any more
no i mean i would have made some custom ones if i could
but i sadly lack that capability
i wonder what sitrep we will be doing
i feel like with how many times terk has mentioned them, theres gonna be a bombard
we'll burn that brifge when we get to it
bridgelayer suldan
we are pulling a full 6 year olds being guided across the road situation
except we have given all the 6 year olds varius firearms
are you just gonna be redeploying your sentinals to get your sputniks out?
mama duck with ducklings on a freeway
also be careful, if you have more than 8 sputniks out you can instantly stress yourself with 1 target aquired
atleast im pretty sure
@covert surge, dont you take the heat your sputniks take?
ah ok
its the same as if a witch used tear don
things without a heat cap take energy equal to heat given
this is why invigorate is so necessary for me
i could have sworn you toke their heat the same way they pull from your limited pool
nada
we hittem em with tha One Burn
Gave the drone a hairspray can and a lighter to deal 1 burn
i do love the controller approach of just, be everywhere you dont want the enemy to be
they also deal a decent amount of energy
wait
do you need line of sight to target someone with target aquired?
yeah it doesn't specify
cause i thought for a second you could only fire sputniks within sensors, but nope
cause i was trying to figure out if you can just fully hang back and just fire your sputniks as i march them forward
we are really going to be abusing flash combat data
sputniks dont benefit from that
no but we do
i geuss specifically i will be benefitting from it i suppose
though i am giving the sputniks accuracy with my blackspot
@cerulean smelt whats your build again?
also we will truly be dealing so many instances of 3 kinetic damage
Lemme grab it
