Brewer's Pub (Playtesting)

[fierce drum]

Ah

When you said saturday, I didn't expect 1 am

Especially since that's only 1 hour after my friday game

Oh well, leaves some room for new perspectives at least

[calm ingot]

TBF I changed from Saturday to Friday

apologies

[fierce drum]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

I didn't have a guaranteed spot anyways, so it only went from "unlikely" to "no", you're fine

[calm ingot]

Putting this here for now before sending it to the recruiting channel:

Title: Valk's Lancer Playground - Hoodoo Holdout
Game System: LANCER RPG
Platform: FoundryVTT
Chat: Voice through Pilot NET Discord, text through Foundry
Availability: 4 seats
Time: <t:1738972800:F>, ~4 hours in length.
Tone: Fast and furious playtest skirmishes.
Hook: Defend the hoodoo base from the rabid Wendigo Company.
Requirements: Create an LL3 character using Massif-published content. Homebrew permitted on a case-by-case basis; please send me the LCP!
Applications close: <t:1738879200:F>
Details: This is a playtest for some of my homebrew NPCs and special house rules. Most of my houserules can be found here, but key highlights:

• Overcharge lets you reroll an attack/check/save instead of take an extra action, and refreshes on a rest.
• **Overkill **is now opt-in: Choose to reroll each 1 or don't!
• **Brace **is 1/scene but now has no downside.
• NPCs with Recharge abilities also take Self Heat from those abilities.
• Overheating can inflict Overheated, which prevents use of self-heat abilities.
• Structure Damage is replaced with picking between being Dazed or suffering System Trauma.
• All mechs only have 1 Stress, become Exposed & Overheated upon reaching max heat cap, and take excess heat as irreducible Energy damage.
• Lifting/Dragging rules are revamped to support Escort Objectives in a sensible way!

Other: I’m Valk! I’ve previously published a third-party module for Lancer. I like to keep my combats running quickly and fluidly. If you have any questions about the rules I plan to include, please ask!

Note: I’ll also be using Kai’s rebaked npcs from #1334655875679260692

[calm ingot]

@shell cargo you still available today? Gonna be finalizing applicants soon

[shell cargo]

nope, sorry - didn't mention but I'll be busy for the first chunk of that timeslot so it doesn't work out after all 😔

[weak orchid]

AHAHAHAHAH

Oh shoot I cant do it

[calm ingot]

It’s already done haha

[slow grail]

crossposting this here for anyone interested!

[weak orchid]

I HAVE SAT THE DAY AFTER AND HAV ETO SLEEP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

(oh wait I can make the session after)

Also I'm 17 so

Sad

[vagrant trellis]

Going to be running a playtest for my new npcs, hopefully very soon 🙏

[calm ingot]

Thinking about running a pickup game at <t:1743267638:F>

[shell cargo]

gonna be out that day, godspeed o7

[fierce drum]

I go to a concert one night and suddenly everyone starts running games (good luck finding players, hope it goes well !)

[shell cargo]

i'm west coast US, so that's 10am my time :) i'm not going to be back home until ~5-6 pm or so lol

[fierce drum]

France, so I'd be leaving ~2 hours after the start for that concert. Oh well, can't play 'em all.

[viral hawk]

BlockTexts Brewery Bonanza!

Hey all! I'm blocktext, local homebrwer and lover of anything creative. I am pleased to announce that I will be (attempting) to host pick-up playtest games every Tuesday at <t:1744066800:T>!

What are the rules? Whos stuff will be tested? Well I'm glad you asked!

- First come first serve basis!

I will attempt to do sessions hosting modules in the order I'm given them! You can DM me to consult me about it on the same day and I'll do it! If its two small enough modules I'll run two in a day.

- no repeats! Be courteous!

Everyone wants to test their ideas, yes, but I will not host one persons Ideas two weeks in a row, even if they are different modules. So say "Mitch" approaches me with "Deathboomer," ill test it for that week, but i wont test out "Blossomhopper" for Mitch next week.

- Be patient, be civil

Not every idea is gonna be a hit. That's just a fact. But don't be an ass about it. That goes on both ends. If you don't like something, don't just blatantly insult it without giving any feedback, and if your thing gets criticized, don't be butthurt. It's as simple as that. If I see you engaging in unsportsmanly behavior during or after a session, you will be banned from all future games.

TL:DR Be nice to each other.

With that all out of the way, I look forward to sharing some brews with y'all on the battlefield!

Blocktext out!

<@&1278060954176852021>

[toxic orchid]

interesting

if im getting this right you playtesting other peoples homebrew ?

on request

[viral hawk]

Yup!

Just depends on who first approaches me on tuesday

[toxic orchid]

thats midnight for me, there goes my sleep schedule again

[split radish]

I'll have to take a bit of time to get Farragut and Ipomoea in LCP format, but I'd love to get in on this once that's done

[toxic orchid]

i have a alt and a license and i want to test out, the license does need a little clean up as i had to swap some systems around and make one of them a nhp

[viral hawk]

Hey Its not a set in stone time, but itd be preferable to me. We'll just have to see!

[toxic orchid]

just not later please

[lucid grove]

I’ve got a full lcp that should be ready for play testing

[viral hawk]

Oh, and it will be hosted in Foundry VTT For all those who need to know

[toxic orchid]

dont know what difference that would make

[viral hawk]

Hey just run it by me the day of Tuesday! I will make an announcement post when I am about to start preparing and am taking LCPs for testing

[toxic orchid]

i was just about to ask you when to contact you about the lcp tommorow

[lucid grove]

Sounds good, I’ll keep an eye out for it

[velvet zodiac]

aw hell I gotta learn how to LCP lmao
anyway I'll be submitting my Atlas alt at one point or another

[viral hawk]

Stay tuned folks!

[toxic orchid]

i can give you a rundown on how to make a lcp tomorrow if you want
going to bed now though, its 2 min to midnight for me, fell free to dm me if you are interested

[weak orchid]

I would love to playtest, the issue is I also have to make an LCP

And seonc issue being that holy hell my schedule, I can only send stuff at you to playtest

[toxic orchid]

Making a lpc isnt that hard, specially if you have documentation, then its mostly copy paste

[calm ingot]

So @viral hawk I may not be able to play, but I can offer up some NPCs if you wanna give em a try? Dunno your policy GM-facing content haha. But #1254229800952922193 has a good dozen NPCs if you wanna give em a go

[viral hawk]

The policy is that I'll try and use it sparsely and whenever appropriate depending on how many frames I'm testing!

But chances are I may not remember the day it comes. When I make the announcement, feel free to send it my way again!

[viral hawk]

First session will be hosted tomorrow fellas! It'll just be a standard combat sitrep, nothing fancy at all. Just kill some bots

[viral hawk]

<@&1278060954176852021>

Attention all homebrewers!
The requests are now open! Today is a 2 For 1 Special. The first two .LCP files i am sent I will review one frame from each!

After you have submitted, recat to this message with a ✅ to let me and everyone else know!

Slots Open: CLOSED!

Rules for testing and game setup are available upon questioning and whenever the session is looking for players

Because it came up i will mention this: for the most unbiased feedback you will NOT be allowed to play your own mech that you submit for hombrew. You will be allowed yo be another hombrew or a vanilla mech, but not your own. This is to make for a productive and healthy testing environment.

[velvet zodiac]

question: we using foundry vtt or something else

[viral hawk]

Foundry Virtual Tabletop!

[velvet zodiac]

gotcha

[viral hawk]

To all those who didn't see the ping, the LFG for today's session is open!

[viral hawk]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_YzVSxW4iWpKJKRtSiMEtugGwO7RVyMcWqShZY-yROQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

Alright everyone! First round if brewery Bonanza has been finished! Here's a doc of this week's participants and this week's tested mechs

[viral hawk]

Reminder: There will be NO Brewery Bonanza next Tuesday! I will be out with family that day. I will be returning the following week.

[calm ingot]

Alright, planning a pickup game of 1-2 fights this Saturday. Thinking of starting anywhere between <t:1745082004:F> and <t:1745103636:t>. any takers in here and desired times? Hammertime link for convenience: https://hammertime.cyou/

It’ll involve stuff from #1334655875679260692 and #1254229800952922193

[calm ingot]

Title: Valk's Lancer Playground - One-Two Punch
Game System: LANCER RPG
Platform: FoundryVTT
Chat: Voice through Pilot NET Discord, text through Foundry
Availability: 4 seats
Time: <t:1745085633:F>, ~4 hours in length.
Tone: Fast and furious playtest skirmishes.
Hook: Secure a hangar full of valuable cargo. Time permitting, retrieve some cargo forgotten at the depot!
Requirements: Create an LL3 character using Massif-published content. Homebrew permitted on a case-by-case basis; please send me the LCP!
Applications close: <t:1745010058:F>
Details: This is a playtest for some of my homebrew NPCs and special house rules. Most of my houserules can be found in #1254229800952922193 and my house rule repository, but key highlights:

• Overcharge lets you reroll an attack/check/save instead of take an extra action, and refreshes by spending a repair.
• **Overkill **is now opt-in: Choose to reroll each 1 or don't!
• **Brace **is 1/scene but now has no downside.
• NPCs with Recharge abilities also take Self Heat from those abilities.
• Overheating can inflict Overheated, which prevents use of self-heat abilities.

Other: I’m Valk! I’ve previously published several third-party modules for Lancer. I run brisk and fluid combats. If you have any questions about the rules I plan to include, please ask!

Just ping me if interested, or if a slightly different time would work better

[toxic orchid]

interesting

that murders overcharge loops

[calm ingot]

Correct

Read on though, there’s a team-oriented way to pull it off involving a new Aid action (courtesy of @bronze totem )

Also, hi Acatalepsy I figured the ping would be good if you were interested in gaming

[toxic orchid]

that is very nice, like the idea of aid

and it still alows you to clear normally in case you have to stabilize anyway

[fierce drum]

I might actually be available at the required times for once. Nice.

I still need to actually check ofc, but there's a chance for once

I'll keep you updated

[toxic orchid]

for overheated it doesn't mention anything about heat self weapons

[calm ingot]

It says “An OVERHEATED mech cannot take any actions or activate abilities that would inflict heat upon themselves, including using OVERCHARGE and activating systems with the HEAT X (SELF) tag.” “Including” is not “only these things”

[toxic orchid]

i can see a frame that uses heat self weapons and systems be basically jammed if they overheat

[calm ingot]

Sure, so don’t overheat

But yeah #1254229800952922193 is the place for feedback on stuff

[toxic orchid]

this terrifies me as a tokugawa main

[fierce drum]

Just use a not-self-heat weapon and intentionally overheat !

• stay in DZ forever,
• perma exposed,
• surely nothing bad could happen.

[fierce drum]

Alright, put me in coach.
Just be careful, you've got two different times listed in your two messages. imagine being able to read lol

[calm ingot]

First message was just “hey I’m free in this range” and where I’m willing to wiggle between

Second message is my proposed time, within that range

I’ll open up a GForm tonight if I don’t have 4 by then

[fierce drum]

Yeah I reread the thing and realized; I just can't read. (To be expected from a Lancer and Undertale fan)

Proposed time is good for me, and I can even do 1 hour earlier or later if need be.

[velvet zodiac]

Seems like fun.

I'm in

[calm ingot]

Game System: LANCER RPG

Tone: Fast and furious playtest skirmishes.
Hook: You forgot the mouthwash shipment! Go secure it and hold out for extraction!
Requirements: Sign up using this form. Create an LL6 character using Massif-published content. Homebrew permitted on a case-by-case basis; please send me the LCP!
Applications close: <t:1745614824:F>
Details: This is a playtest for some of my homebrew NPCs and special house rules. Most of my houserules can be found here, but key highlights:

• Overcharge lets you reroll an attack/check/save instead of take an extra action, and refreshes on a rest.
• Aid lets you split Stabilize’s action cost between players!
• Overkill is now opt-in: Choose to reroll each 1 or don't!

[fierce drum]

Not available, so you're finally free of the speed 6 murder Lanny at least !

(or so you think...)

[calm ingot]

I believe I have another Lanny main on the docket anyway lol

https://tenor.com/view/hades-there-is-no-escape-no-escape-hades-game-zagreus-gif-25284490

[fierce drum]

heh

[mossy saddle]

Any extra info you'll want outside of lile. Pilot share code?

[calm ingot]

Pilot share code and any tokens you’d like to use

This will just be “board game fun”, no meaningful narrative

That said, pack pilot gear just in case, mostly because you never know

[mossy saddle]

What a shame, I had so many custom triggers set up

[calm ingot]

Keep em, you never know

Me: “I want to run meaningful narrative in Lancer, not just combat”
Also me: “so I made a buttload of combat rules and content and am running a game to test ONLY THOSE THINGS”

[craggy nova]

Are there currently any plans for a Homebrew testing session coming up?

[bright shard]

Hi, I am a little new to the server and I was wondering if this was the place to advertise for homebrew testing sessions, or is the lancer-game-recruiting channel?

[split radish]

Either place works, so use whichever

[craggy nova]

DOCTOR! ALLOW ME TO PLAYTEST MY GMS 1/2 FRAME, AND MY LIFE, IS YOURS!

[shell cargo]

broadly, if you want to test your homebrew you will likely need to set it up yourself - its not generally a great idea to test multiple homebrews at once either

[calm ingot]

Also, same rules as #lancer-game-recruiting apply here. Don’t go asking for games. Wait for someone to post a game first.

[viral hawk]

<@&1278060954176852021>

It's about that time again! BREWERY BONANZA!

If ya don't know the rules, here's the gist of it:

The first two people to approach me with their LCPs will get their stuff Tested later today! Only two rules: Only one frame from each LCP, and no playing your own frames.

It is first come first serve! Now keep em coming!

OPEN SLOTS. 1/2

This weeks Low Priority members are:
@stellar.seeker
@toxic orchid

[velvet zodiac]

you didn't tag me correctly lmao

[viral hawk]

Nah it's because of the period in your discord name

Makes it so I can't @ you

@velvet zodiac

Wha-

Okay now it works

My b

[craggy nova]

Any chance this is still open?

[viral hawk]

Yeah, if there's enough interest in the next few hours. Just dm me your LCP

[red wolf]

How do we get the Lancer LFG Homebrew tag? Love that idea but didn't get any notification :/

[steady plaza]

Same way you got your americas tag

[next spear]

What Haze means is go to #bot-stuff and ask the bot for the role like I did here: #bot-stuff message

[steady plaza]

<@&1278060954176852021> I got the day off on Monday, so why not some Lancer to get back in the swing of things. I'll be testing out some fresh NPC 'brew and so I extend my hand for you to test some of yours as well.

Details

Players: 4 to 5
LL: 5
Content: All released first party content + Homebrew (see below for details)

• Note: This will not be so much as a balance check as it will be a first parsing of content: checking mechanics, interactions, wording, etc. It might be that on-the-spot rulings and/or adjustments are needed.
  Where: PNet voice chat + Foundry (flat (not iso) map for clarity)
  When: <t:1746462600:F> for about 4 hours. Two scenes, going as far as we can.

Further notes:

• For builds and usage of core powers, please act and prepare as though you were embarking on a mission of 3 to 4 scenes.
• Doing a 50/50 split of homebrew and first party content; both PC and NPC. If you wish to test a piece of kit, that's welcome, just keep in mind to not take exclusivily stuff from your homebrew - mix it up a bit.
• Please run all homebrew by me. I don't expect anything outlandish to come from folks here, but I do intend on having fun and something that snaps the game in two is not my perogative.

If someone feels like joining and testing some of my PC brew, I'd appreciate it as well, though it's not neccessary to do so.

Toss applications in here please, I don't check my DMs much

[analog bough]

Hello! I'd like to join in the fun!

Not quite sure if I'm bringing homebrew with me this time, but if I change my mind, I'll let you know before we start.

[toxic orchid]

I think i have the time on Monday

Ill take a look at your homebrew, i also have homebrew but if i want to take depends on the team composition, they rely a bit on teammates

[craggy nova]

I’d very much like to apply

I only have 1 Frame I wanna test, aside from that the rest of the build is exclusively First Party Content, mostly Zheng License

[toxic orchid]

the homebrew frame looks very interesting but its not my style unfortunatly

[toxic orchid]

can you have a look at the mindflayer, its a goblin alt
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TasqPZjo4LrYeFVmCIJDcwWV1lJD1pOLhCQ-AOPYFe8/edit?tab=t.qy6881ogk7cv

[velvet zodiac]

you should probably go to homebrew-design for this kind of stuff

[craggy nova]

Actually I did mean to ask where we should post our homebrew for Haze to review before choosing people for the campaign

[toxic orchid]

Please run all homebrew by me. I don't expect anything outlandish to come from folks here, but I do intend on having fun and something that snaps the game in two is not my perogative.
not asking feedback

[velvet zodiac]

oh sorry my bad

Currently driving, but as soon as I am pulled over, I can send a link to the LCP

[craggy nova]

I have no idea why that first file is showing as an unknown, but here’s a picture summary from CompCon too

[steady plaza]

Build and brew are fine.
Your LCP file looks fucked though

Ah, you zipped it, but didn't rename the file extension to .lcp, just named the thing itself lcp

This one will actually load into C/C

[steady plaza]

All good here too

[steady plaza]

Looks fine as well

So team's going to be @slow grail @craggy nova @analog bough and @toxic orchid

Ill get your brews installed, if you could toss me sharecodes or json files of your builds to import by monday, that'd be swell

Actually, Shadow, do you have an LCP for the Mindflayer?

[craggy nova]

Yay! I’ll get ya a share code shortly!

Shall I post it here or DM it to you?

[steady plaza]

Here's fine, I like having it all in one place

[craggy nova]

In that case here’s the code

6QJWVO

[toxic orchid]

Yup i do, for my whole homebrew, its on my pc though and im on my phone at he moment

[steady plaza]

That's fine, just get it to me any time before monday eve

[slow grail]

Here's my code
C3FNG2

I'll get a token to you by tonight/tomorrow

[toxic orchid]

here is the lpc and share code FZUJ4F

[slow grail]

here's token for me @steady plaza

[hidden wolf]

The Calibeard?

[toxic orchid]

also token

[steady plaza]

Reminder for both Goof and Nexus to toss any tokens you'd like to use. From Goof I still need a full build as well.

[craggy nova]

I’ll get a token put together asap, just gotta comm an artist for it since it’s technically a frame that doesn’t exist

[slow grail]

I'd recommend looking here first lol https://retrogrademinis.com/

Chop Shop has a lot of great tokens made by the community that you can use if you don't want to make your own

[craggy nova]

Threw together a PNG for Hopper/Mark 01!

Used the Atlas since it has easily usable Punchy stuff on a half-frame

[craggy nova]

And Hopper the Pilot

[steady plaza]

@slow grail No clue why, but your sharecode isn't loading properly into foundry. It is fine in C/C, so no clue what's happening here

The whole frame isn't showing in Foundry...

Shopping around for a fix, but if I can't find one, we'll juryrig it with compcon

[analog bough]

So... @steady plaza

I'm going to have to leave my computer for about 20-30 minutes about 2 hours into the game to pick up my little brother from school today. Is that going to be a problem, or is everything fine still?

[steady plaza]

Are you sure it's only going to be 30 mins at max?

[analog bough]

Yes.

Also, what exactly is everyone else running?

[steady plaza]

Then I'm fine with it, with the caveat that we continue on after 30 mins if you haven't returned yet

The rest are running a controller, an atlas alt that focuses on saves and a gms that focuses on survivability and slipperiness

[analog bough]

I guess I get to bring out an artillery build then! >:D

[craggy nova]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-star-wars-emperor-palpatine-palpatine-gif-799657800635657398

[craggy nova]

Oh yeah, @steady plaza did the LCP file I sent for the Peak XV work properly or should I take another stab at it?

[steady plaza]

It works

[craggy nova]

Perfect! In that case I’m all set for the oneshot at 9:30

Also, I may need to re-tool this a little.

[split radish]

I have a few around if you need one

[analog bough]

This is based off one of my Sherman builds that uses the a-mat, so I should probably re-tool this to fit properly.

[analog bough]

Sounds fun!

[split radish]

Even a tagetes, although with physical weapons instead of Tachyon Lance

You can use it if you'd like

[analog bough]

The mech's name is "It's rough, coarse, and get's everywhere".

And what does the Mindflayer do?

[toxic orchid]

cook

[analog bough]

Seems like a minotaur alt more than goblin.

Still, it's neat!

[toxic orchid]

😭

it was first a goblin alt, them minotaur, then litch and now gobling again

[split radish]

Actually id say it fits lich

Especially that second condition clear trait as a hook into Anti-Linear, and messing with targeting

[analog bough]

I mean, It's core system is literally "Red light!". and "Don't stick around your allies!"

[split radish]

But it can reasonably fit Goblin as well so it's alright

[toxic orchid]

it went back to goblin because it wants to bunch up people for its core

[analog bough]

Actually, system Flush doesn't actually work with Lich's stuff...

[split radish]

Infinite sadness and despair

[craggy nova]

No matter what it’s a frame that makes even my monkey brain want to try a tech attack build

[analog bough]

I mean, fair? I still think it's better on minotaur because of what it's systems do, but I see why it works well with Gobbo.

[analog bough]

YES!

That said, I need to retool my build. I want to keep the big gun, but if I want to make the best use of the Tagetes as possible, I need to be adjacent to an ally.

Also, which VC are we using?

@steady plaza

[slow grail]

This should fix it I think #1288959697960833035 message

[steady plaza]

Yea, I have that one from when I asked around in VTT

[steady plaza]

Whichever one is available, it doesn't matter

http://82.72.16.198:30000/
Link to the foundry

[analog bough]

IPS-N then! See you there!

[toxic orchid]

@viral condor

[viral condor]

i see i see

well i'm probably late either way?

idk, if you need any replacement or got extras, i'd be down @steady plaza
though admittedly i usually bring vanilla frames

[toxic orchid]

@heady wind

[heady wind]

lol

[toxic orchid]

i never pinged the other one

[heady wind]

🤥

[toxic orchid]

i blame discord for ghost ping

[rugged knoll]

Mhm

I would love if someone could GM a game for me to test the frame I made.

But I have no idea how the hell I'd go around setting that up?

[rugged knoll]

I think I need a role to access this channel?

[toxic orchid]

i dont think so

[rugged knoll]

I see

[toxic orchid]

and if you need it its probably homebrew one

[steady plaza]

If you want to get pinged for homebrew games, getting the LFG_homebrew role would be a good start

[rugged knoll]

I have it

[steady plaza]

As for getting someone else to GM for you?

[rugged knoll]

The issue is the games get filled in 2 seconds

[steady plaza]

You'd be better off GMing yourself and asking someone to run your stuff

[rugged knoll]

I don't have GM resources.

[steady plaza]

Or integrating yourself with the community and getting into a group that way

[rugged knoll]

Been working on that

[steady plaza]

Then keeping working at it, nothing more I can add to that

[viral hawk]

~~<@&1278060954176852021>

It's about that time again! BREWERY BONANZA!

If ya don't know the rules, here's the gist of it:

The first two people to approach me with their LCPs will get their stuff Tested later today! Only two rules: Only one frame from each LCP, and no playing your own frames.

It is first come first serve! Now keep em coming!

OPEN SLOTS. CLOSED!

This weeks Low Priority members are:
@stellar.seeker
@toxic orchid~~

[split radish]

Remind me; what time?

[viral hawk]

Lemme get the time stamp

This is just for LCP submission, actual game will be posted later lol

<t:1746572400:t>

[split radish]

I would like to submit an LCP but not sure if I can actually show up for the game which is kinda :(

It's on Foundry?

[velvet zodiac]

I'd like to play (not submit anything, just play) is that cool?

[viral hawk]

Yeah of course! LCP submission is entirely separate from the game

[viral hawk]

That's fine! I'll let you know who will be testing your LCP, just send me my way and you'll get a slot. Only one LCP though!

[craggy nova]

Would this be for 4pm today?

[split radish]

You got it boss 🫡

[viral hawk]

This message adapts to your time zone so check that

[analog bough]

If there's a need for a build that just uses the core rulebook (for the purposes of a control group anyway), may I recommend @viral condor for a spot?

[viral condor]

👀

ah i'm late here

i..can't actually play at that time today

that's 2 in the morning and i have another game this evening still

[heady wind]

Hoi

Can I play with my homebrew?

This might be slightly outdate, been actively working on it the past day or three

[viral hawk]

Sure!

Send it via DMs if you wouldn't mind

[rugged knoll]

@rancid warren @silent sleet

[viral hawk]

Wow, brewery bonanza almost instantly filled up

[shell cargo]

every game always does. welcome to hosting public games lol

[twin idol]

Didn't have a full game last sunday, but I think that might've just been everyone taking a break after a long round of another lancer game. That and the weird conditions of the game.

Had 7/10, so I guess it would've been a full standard sesh.

[loud mica]

I think you want to be in #homebrew-design 🙂

haha yep

[heady wind]

@storm pulsar

[heady wind]

<@&1278060954176852021>
Looking to test my homebrew in the (hopefully) near future in a series of games, would like to know if anyone would:

• be interested in GMing (I can do this myself, if need be, this would just push the playtest date a bit further)
• Interested in playing the frames, if so, which.

I’ll be in HA Hangout for anyone interested.

The homebrew is an entire manufacturer which currently has 13 frames in various states of completion (11 of which are complete pending some finish touches), 4 fully completed licenses and some partially complete ones, and planned core bonuses

I am currently looking to see which frames people are interested in playtesting to focus on finishing those.

[heady wind]

@flint quiver The thing I posted above, since this ping would only reach people that are in this forum to begin with.

I am asking if it is ok for me to go ahead and post it in the recruiting channel.

[flint quiver]

I dunno. I am not a mod

they would know more specifics or ask in gm corner

[calm ingot]

You can just post it in #lancer-game-recruiting

[heady wind]

Yeah, I ended up asking another mod directly, not sure if there is a channel to ask mods things

[calm ingot]

Title: Valk's Lancer Playground - Stiff Competition
Game System: LANCER RPG
Platform: FoundryVTT
Chat: Voice through Pilot NET Discord, text through Foundry
Availability: 4/4 seats remaining
Time: <t:1747501200:F>, ~4-5 hours in length.
Tone: Fast and furious playtest skirmishes.
Hook: Get the shipment to the liftoff point! Time permitting, shut down the competition's teleportation device!
Requirements: Sign up with this Google form! Create an LL6 character using Massif-published content. Homebrew permitted on a case-by-case basis; please send me the LCP!
Applications close: <t:1747429200:F>
Details: This is a playtest for some of NPCs from #1334655875679260692, as well as my own homebrew NPCs and special house rules. Most of my houserules can be found in #1254229800952922193 and my house rule repository, but key highlights:

• Overcharge lets you reroll an attack/check/save instead of take an extra action, and refreshes by spending a repair.
• Aid allows an ally to split the action cost of Stabilize!
• **Brace **is 1/scene but now has no downside.
• NPCs with Recharge abilities also take Self Heat from those abilities.
• Overheating can inflict Overheated, which prevents use of self-heat abilities.
• Structure Damage is replaced with picking between being Dazed or suffering System Trauma.
• All mechs only have 1 Stress, become Exposed & Overheated upon exceeding max heat cap, and take excess heat as irreducible Energy damage.
• Lifting/Dragging rules are revamped to support Escort Objectives in a sensible way!

Other: I’m Valk! I’ve previously published several third-party modules for Lancer. I run brisk and fluid combats. If you have any questions about the rules I plan to include, please ask!

Doing a preliminary round of interest before posting to #lancer-game-recruiting

[heady wind]

How/Where does one discuss homebrew with you?

[calm ingot]

My homebrew stuff gets discussed in #1254229800952922193 usually

If you have questions about my player side house rule stuff then here works I suppose

[heady wind]

God, there are so many threads here.

Can you ping/link me the relevant/general ones?

Oh, wait, that's yours

[calm ingot]

@heady wind Thanks for showing interest; I do not think I will allow the Jorogumo at this time. I appreciate your understanding

[heady wind]

Fair enough. And the Nelly?

[calm ingot]

Gonna have to say no to this one as well

[rugged knoll]

Is it the frame or the license?

[calm ingot]

I’m just not comfortable with it along the other stuff I have planned, that’s all

I’ll be real I’m usually bear-ish when it comes to allowing other HB in these tests, so please don’t take it personally

[fierce drum]

I'd be able to make it if you need me to, but it's not the best starting time for me, so just keep me in reserve if you end up one player short.
With that in mind, do I sign up with the form anyways or no ?

[calm ingot]

please sign up yes

I already posted to #lancer-game-recruiting so yeah

[fierce drum]

Aight, done.

I'll bring my Kutuzov if I end up being taken. Should be fun.

[heady wind]

Ah, fair. I assume you had a lot of terrain stuff to restrict players and Spider Frame would have interfered with that.

Which would probably rule out Cormorant, dunno about Tirpitz.

What about M.A.O.?
Would that one be usable?

[calm ingot]

I'm gonna say no to Titan Industries for now, thanks for understanding

[heady wind]

Alright

[heady wind]

I will say the preemptive ‘thanks for understanding’ feels a little condescending. I assume that is not your intent, so I’m not as bothered, but still.

[calm ingot]

Then I apologize.

[heady wind]

No prob

[heady wind]

@lucid grove @faint locust @rapid fractal @prime oracle

Alright, can y’all hop on a VC so we can verify if the mechs you want to playtest are complete with their license?

[prime oracle]

Hey, remind me what I signed up for please. I don't remember if I signed up for any games or not, so I'm a little suprised so suddenly

I remember that I looked at your custom LCP actually! That was you! I don't remember if I said I'd play any games or not though. I'm sorry if that has caused a problem or confusion for you.

[lucid grove]

I’m available

[heady wind]

Titan industries homebrew, the eventual playtest?

[prime oracle]

I assumed I was just taking a look at the sheets and telling you what my opinions were at the time because you talked about it that one time. I didn't know that I was signing up for practical testing.

[heady wind]

Ah, nvm then, sorry

[rapid fractal]

Sorry, just got this, I might be available tonight, tho

[solid spire]

This may not be applicable to a majority of tables, but does anyone have tables or GMs or know of any that would be interested in playtesting the first finished draft of my Pilot Combat System? It's about 57 Pages of Content right now and overhauls Narrative Combat with a (as closely as I could) smaller scale of Mech Combat made exclusive for Pilot vs Pilot moments.

[next spear]

Have you tested it at a table you were GMing for yet?

[solid spire]

I have! 2 runs of it, adjustments have been made based on both playtests but I really need a wider range of data to get the balance right. I would need like, a bit of comprehensive feedback preferably from both Players and GMs, based on

Player Enjoyment and Ease to Understand the System

GM Ease of Balance and Ease of Running for players.

Although, Stress testing the system and trying to break it is also welcome so I know what can get out of hand incredibly easily.

[next spear]

Nice Nice, you may find interested GMs by advertising to run a oneshot or two in https://discord.com/channels/426286410496999425/426286617595215872

If you get GMs as players in your table, they'll be tempted to try the rules in their own games

[solid spire]

Ah okay, originally I was redirected here from Homebrew Design but I can repost it there!

[next spear]

Here is a good spot, but you'll always reach a wider audience in the general game recruiting channel

[solid spire]

I unfortunately can't post in that channel

I'm assuming I need to go somewhere to get the role?

Got it! :)

[weak orchid]

:)

[viscid lark]

imagine playtesting when you can go purely based on vibes

buncha lamos in here

[hidden wolf]

Playtesting is there to make it “safe” or rather more safe to publish n not crack the game as much but I do agree going on vibes alone is fun

[viscid lark]

this was a meme from a conversation in #homebrew-design not a serious statement

although like all jokes there is a kernel of truth in it, you can get pretty far with vibes alone in my opinion

but playtesting is important too

[torpid agate]

rip!!!!!!

[sacred shell]

tear?

[calm ingot]

Hey all, I have an impromptu LL6 playtest today in a couple hours. Ping me if you're interested! Deets below:

Title: Valk's Lancer Playground - Random Bullshit Go
Game System: LANCER RPG
Platform: FoundryVTT
Chat: Voice through Train Lightning Discord, text through Foundry
Availability: 1/4 seats remaining
Time: <t:1758391209:F>, ~4-5 hours in length.
Tone: Fast and furious playtest skirmishes.
Hook: The House of Sand wants your stuff! Protect your payload while escorting it through dense city streets.
Requirements: Must be experienced with Lancer combat. Create an LL6 character using Massif-published content. No meme builds, pack what you would for a normal mission.
Details: This is a playtest for some of my homebrew NPCs and special house rules. Most of my houserules can be found here, but key highlights:

• Overcharge lets you reroll an attack/check/save instead of take an extra action, and refreshes on a rest.
• Aid lets you split Stabilize’s action cost between players!
• Overkill is now opt-in: Choose to reroll each 1 or don't!
• Brace is 1/scene but now has no downside.
• NPCs with Recharge abilities also take Self Heat from those abilities.
• Overheating can inflict Overheated, which prevents use of self-heat abilities.
• Structure Damage is replaced with picking between being Dazed or suffering System Trauma.
• All mechs only have 1 Stress, become Exposed & Overheated upon reaching max heat cap, and take excess heat as irreducible Energy damage.

Orion look so fun

[torpid agate]

gotta rein it in somehow

[copper plover]

Literal chainsawman

[brazen tiger]

Hey man! How many people have decided to join?

[torpid agate]

Like. 2 others

[brazen tiger]

Hey guys, what build you yall running?

[torpid agate]

2 current unknowns

[copper plover]

do Orion deadeye pistol On Attack text "do not have cover from your position" cover soft cover soft ? DO the shot fire enemies in LOS or in range ?

also if you and the targeted enemy are in smoke do we hit them?

also if we delay firing and the weaon got destroyed due to structure loss do we fired them or not?

also where do you list "Blinded" and "Marked" status definition?

I know one mean only have LOS to nearby tiles but what is other?

[torpid agate]

as in all cover

and you typically require LOS and range for like any attacks

[torpid agate]

you lose the weapon you cannot fired regardless

[copper plover]

fair

[torpid agate]

"Marked" is just like a thing you get

it's a tracker for other systems

not really a "real" status

just a little greebob you need to keep track for your misc systems

[copper plover]

The first License is already so fun, I have hopes for the remaining ones

probably plugging the SVI LCP into the owlbear witchdie thing

[midnight oxide]

Cool, will do

Thanks

Hey, I can't load in the pilebunker...

[tough mauve]

I have been told that playtesting occasionally occurs here and that I should post my Paratech stuff

I unfortunately don't have much time to playtest stuff myself, idk how things go around here lol

I don't wanna break any pub etiquette by just posting my stuff and being like "Here, do the thing"

[midnight oxide]

I also just got here and don’t know the standard procedure, but I’d be happy to mess around with some new rules for an hour

[tough mauve]

If you wanna have a look
https://pixela7e.itch.io/paracausal-technologies-institution
https://docs.google.com/document/d/146tcZeYxynJS5FaywFjtK-nUQtHU7KEvCV7IJoRLsuU/edit?usp=sharing

[midnight oxide]

a) first thought, the arts cool
b) should I focus on the new edition?

[tough mauve]

yeah that would be best

[midnight oxide]

Thoughts on a first Readthrough:
//UNWAVERING V5.7: pretty powerful, though not unreasonably so. I'd maybe add a heat cost?

Chariot Executioner Blade: 2d6+2 E is a lot for an AP weapon but again, not unreasonable

I really like the Chariot Bubble Grenade

I'd probably make empress Datascripture 3 SP or a full tech action, but it is really cool (just think of the combo potential with subdue (said in the voice of an 1880s victorian industrialist))

Hanged man photon dagger: again, AP usually comes with a damage penalty, especially on a first licence level. (also the assasinate bonus damage would inherit the AP)

I think the Hanged man Charged Garrote could be changed to inflict jammed rather than stun because jam stops them from communicating or raising alarms and I think that lends itself better to picking off lone targets, but that would make it worse in a straight fight so it'd make sense to keep it as stunned (also I guess you have the deffness quicktech from the same LL)

Hanged man System Breacher: no notes, it's great, I want one

the Hierophant Flash Nexus is cool and I like it

I'd probably make the hierophant Blur a fulltech actually no as I'm writing this I see it has limit 3 and I think that's a good decision

hierophant APOLLO-Class NHP: this might be intentional but the subalters don't have a listed moves peed. also I might make protect a bit faster and add "willing or down & out". I really like the idea that using all three of them on the same target adds additinal bonuses

hierophant Glory is cool and good, I like it

I might add "in sensors" or "in range 50"(like ssc monarch devine punnishment) to justice Retribution so you don't have interplanetary revenge

Justice Dyad Nexus: also cool and good.

all the justice LL3 stuff is really good I think

Magician frame is really cool, I like the doubles mechanics

Magician Project Duplicate, mine clearing and forcing enemys to waste shots is pretty cool

(I'm on meds, so sorry if this is ilegable)

[tough mauve]

I can see Jammed working for charged garrote, thats pretty funny overall

Photon dagger is in a weird spot because compared to GMS Charged blade its 1d6 Accurate vs 1d3+3 standard, so less average damage but higher chance to hit/crit

that will probably be a playtesting thing

otherwise, Ill have a look when more work is done lol

ty ty

[midnight oxide]

that's an excellent point

[tough mauve]

again, thats what playtesting is for, so it might end up being changed

[calm ingot]

Forwarding this here first before opening the floor. Right now I have 2 seats available and I can run Saturday or Sunday (but not both). Please ping me here if you’re interested and which day if so!

[steady plaza]

I'd be up for Saturday

Lmk if you have a thread anywhere to coordinate builds

[calm ingot]

I'll make one in #campaign-hub

[copper plover]

This is cool

Taxa are now lifter yesss
