its been a tight race for second place, although last time I checked you're in the lead (you made the MES, Pacific, right?)

good morning/afternoon everyone o/
actually i just noticed this but i was reviewing my answers to see what i had voted for and i just noticed this section in the bottom left where it says i can share the link to let others edit my response but also can fill out a new response is that normal does that just delete my prior vote or just generate a second voting response sheet or what

I think it’s just a way to whip the slate clean?
polar hollow
As others have shared such here already, I figure I might as well share the LCP and PDF for my own submission too:
formal loom
experimentation tells me that clicking it just takes me to the "you've finished voting" page so i think its just the form being strange
polar hollow
ideally I'd like to find some module I could write to find it a good home(something where you can steal "borrow" the frame from some karrakin colonial overlords from) but sadly I am a forever GM already busy running No Room for a Wallflower and In Golden Flames both DX

yeah it its just like that on the campaign front

Since you happen to be here Maria, started using your alternate structure/stress tables and the players are big fans 👍
formal loom
oh thanks!!
if i wind up getting through my big lcp update push i might post the new lcp here,
i would have already and while the grayling itself didnt change a bunch of other shit did and it would feel weird changing it right after posting
stable elbow
yeah that's fair
mine has 1 heavily WIP mech (the Takamori) that has like 3 separate versions in the LCP right now, but I was too lazy to clear out all the test stuff from that other license 😅

Also acts as ...
Does the name from Simo, as in the "White Death"?
If it does, I love his story. Amazing character in history.
marsh cliff
Yup! All the frame from SYU come from the "Fathers" or notable members of a particular field. Thought Simo would be a good fit for the artillery, given the history of him.
tawdry tiger
Indeed, it was a good choice for artillery.
What are the other names of the mechs, if I may implore?
slow tangle
I think because I don't have any other public documents about the RPC, I'm going to add a bit of a one-page narrative primer to the end of the peppercorns document and then that's when I will repost it
That way people can learn more about what's going to be going on in the full field guide that is going to be a part of
sour smelt
Magnus is great yeah
marsh cliff
What are the other names of the mechs, if I may implore?
Freeman - a striker who tears itself apart to deal more damage (based on Walter Freeman, father of lobotomy)
Hippocrates - potent support, reference is self-explanatory
Mills - A grenade frame based on the man who invented the Fragmentation grenade.
There's more but those are a few, I would type out the whole list but my phone is about to die, if you're interested in the others I'll share em when I get to my computer
tawdry tiger
The lobotomy mech sounds like something
Very interesting people to choose to base mechs off of!
May your phone charge swiftly
sour smelt
SYU is a very neat manufacturer
formal loom
oh you know, i realize that people probably don't realize this but i think my favorite interaction about the grayling is that That consuming Lock On with the Somnus Sagitta still activates the weapon's effect
Lock on doesn't expire until after the attack resolves, which is nice
sour smelt
Tbf you can also order the Slowed before the hit effect from the gun
but that does make it nice for usage outside of Grayling
formal loom
you can as well, which only really matters for the heavy fire variant
its just important for the weapon to have appeal outside the primary mount itself. IT also works on things like infiltrator 2, etc, or whatever else people want to combo with for on hit conditions like walking armory 2 or the like
marsh cliff
**Freeman** - a striker who tears itself apart to deal more damage (based on Wal...
no asked for it but I'm gonna write out the rest of them
Bruce - named after Bruce Lee, it is a striker/Defender who can grapple its allies for safety
Wright - named after the Wright Brothers, its a swift striker who weaponizes its flight
Abel - named after the biblical shepherd, its a drone mech who can extend its sensors via its drones and blow them up
Maxim - named after the inventor of the automatic machine gun, its a mech that loves to use every weapon type possible, its variant, the Woo, is named after the "father" of Gun-kata, aka the shit they were doing in the matrix
and finally, the Shrapnel, an artillery mech that specializes in AoE weapons, more specifically, Cannons.
Sooner or later I would love to make like, a proper itch page for it, but I wanna either get most, if not all the lore done for the compendium entries, and maybe start trying to commission some art, but thats expensive and I'm broke, so who knows 🤷♂️

One of the rpc mechs explicitly has a thank you in it to @gloomy kettle because I'm drawing from the mechanical design for the Io and Grace for their marking mechanics for the RPC Tumeric

good call! i'll be sure to add that to the doc
slow tangle
good call! i'll be sure to add that to the doc
Oh I didn't even mean it like that, I was just relating cuz I have a similar thing going on haha
Like mine isn't even inspiration, I explicitly asked cheese for permission because I was just completely struggling with how to figure out how to structure the baseline of the marking mechanic i wanted to do and cheese just had it so smoothly figured out

inland cloud
My thanks. IK thoguht so too :)
frail bane
If it becomes a bigger issue, I can change my frame's name to something else. Maybe HORUS Morbion since a large part of my frame incorporates a sickening green ooze
And, as far as I know, the name isn't taken yet
bitter turret
it's not an issue
left bloom
It's literally only an issue in this one singular case of needing to differentiate between the two when the only identifiers are name and manufacturer.
jade prism
even then like
how many HORUS Dragons are out there?
left bloom
Nobody has dibs on third-party mech names.
jade prism
things can have the same or similar names while being mechanically distinct
frail bane
Fair enough. HA Caesar's winning my block anyways.
Props to them as well, I like the design of the license
celest bloom

ahh okay thank you both
vast nimbus
even then like
how many HORUS Dragons are out there?
I know this is a big meme, but I have never actually seen a HORUS Dragon before. I don't know anyone who has ever made one
My assumption was that when the community started homebrewing, there was a massive flux of them, then it got over saturated, and now no one makes them cause it's a meme now
proud matrix
I know this is a big meme, but I have never actually seen a HORUS Dragon before....
There's one in Maria's mond and it's pretty sweet ngl

had someone once tell me somewhere i should change the name of mine for some reason because there was one in Auric range
sour fable
has anyone made an Aunic based Corpro yet? or has roots stemming from them?
left bloom
I've done a bunch of Aunic alt-frames, but not a proper corp. (Admittedly, my corp in Iridia ended up with a reasonable amount of Aunic influences, with the hardlight and magitech stuff.)
I feel like there's probably going to be some hesitation to actually do full-on Aunic stuff, though, because of it potentially not meshing with the Aun Field Guide when it gets released. (I've made peace with the fact that my chosen lore and aesthetics will probably be rendered entirely obsolete once we get official releases, haha.)
formal loom
i have notes on starting up one but i have too many games to run and other shit im working on to really sit down and write something
gloomy kettle
Not a full corp, but my Archon is firmly Aun-adjacent (but explicitly not actually aunic)

Tbh same.
Like it feels every times my Grammatophyllum gets a vote the Xerxes gets another to bring it back to exactly 20 votes over ^^;
Granted I guess it's good that I made it to 2nd place for so long as just (another, even if RKF-Themed) a Tortuga alt-frame that's not even tied to a supplement or an actual mission module to help the frame being known at all
though now it's a tie with the SAIS Lovelace for said second place

Racking my brain thinking about it, I think maybe it's that a lot of people don't like hiding? And those that do might think "Oh well I have the Hecaton already I don't need another striker that hides"
glacial dust
Bayou predates Hecaton by like two years 😔
pulsar oracle
Ah, very unfortunate 
glacial dust
and here I thought the problem was mostly in the license
autumn ibex
Sometimes people just dont like a mechanic so they dont like the frame
glacial dust
can't really do anything about the hide DNA in the frame without scrapping the guy entire
pulsar oracle
I'm talking with no actual evidence here, I'm not a great judge of why people like something or not
autumn ibex
a lot of frames that revolve around hidden tend to get harsh critisism despite not really being bad
pulsar oracle
But I voted for it and that's all that matters 
autumn ibex
I still refuse to look at the votes so we'll see what happens this weekend
The only reason I reposted The Fool a couple times is cuz, seemingly, people didn't give it a look the first time around
glacial dust
I could repost the Bayou but I haven't the last couple times people have reposted cause like
honestly I don't think reposting here actually helps visibility

That's called ✨Anxiety✨

I might have anxiety

I've probably reposted the fool 3 times now, after the first time nobody really cared
The first time I got a few people saying "wow this is cool" or "I didn't know YOU made this!" and a bunch of first time readers

i did enjoy a lot of what i read about it, yeah
i'm actually tempted to wonder what others thought ultimately of the grayling, but i imagine that fourteenth block placement did it no favors given that it seems everyone just kind of powered through as quickly as possible, all in one block,
golden mason
I actually remember the Grayling from way before, funny enough
so i openned it up and was like "oh yeah this mech" and immediately ticked it off lmao
its a nice, clean machine

yeah i remembered workshopping the core a bit as to what it was. made it rather fun, in my experience, and the players liked it, at least

Bayou predates Hecaton by like two years 😔
One question I did have about Headhunter, actually
When it says "type" of NPC are you referring to class or template? It mentions class later, but its only right to double check in case you were referring to both
If headhunter applies to template AND Class then it's way more usable, which was my initial concern seeing that the flavor is quite a win
proven coral
alright, it's now the final 24 hours, 25 to be more precise I suppose
whatever that will happen with the result, this has been quite a trip. I definitely didn't realize the response from the community would be this intense for sure
I hope ya all have fun with this contest, this certainly reminds me how much is going on within the Lancer community once again

If headhunter applies to template AND Class then it's way more usable, which was...
It should in fact apply to both, and I intend to tweak that wording once the voting period is over

Hell, this is my second mechanical brewey comp I flubbed, but, eh, it's just nice seeing how my work is viewed by a wider audience than myself and my discord sickos.

The only complaint I've got for the Clovis I think is the Marie-class NHP that gives too much for too little cost
Not being able to skirmish or barrage is a low low cost when you're a hacker and being able to lock on for free every round is already good, but you also get a bonus to tech attacks and dditional effects with no round limit when you bolster, lock on or scan
I think if I were to put this on a chomolungma my GM would kill me in real life
shut path
fair points.
TBH, the bonus to tech attacks is something I can strip from it, and not lose the intended effect of the NHP..
that, and saying you cant bolster, scan or lock on more than usual with it if you take the free would be a good limitation to...
pulsar oracle
well, even if it still obeys action duplication rules, you still get a lock on for free every turn (hell maybe two if you have panopticon)
Which, you only need one in the first place I think
shut path
In playtests that hasn't really been an issue; most of the time players seem to favour the bolster.

Clovis was what I voted for personally
I ended up voting for the bayou and flies in that bracket.
Krait was tempting, but, I love your croc-y boy, and I enjoy flies too much to not.
polar hollow
thanks for everyone that voted for the Cyclops!!!
Honestly I really like the cyclops as a balor alt.
I'm not exactly sure how I feel about rust marks as it tends to be the kind of mechanics I find hard to keep track of, and its ability to deal outright burn (through its invade or rust tokens) so feel a bit powerful
but
But I love the idea of a balor built around the use of stuff like the balor 1 drones with the synergies you get from getting drones adjacent to enemies and a friend LOVED the invade letting your drones thus move closer like a pack of hounds to the target invaded
And I feel there's something really unique to that angle
glacial dust
Well, now the voting is over, I'm free to tweak the Bayou license
I have plans™
(Headhunter got significantly buffed, maybe overly so, but people seemed regularly of the opinion is was too situational before, so we'll try with this and tune down if necessary)
golden mason
well, now that its confirmed i get to say it without feeling bad about it/feeling like i'm shuffling votes, but:
holy shit i feel i did well for having a mech with no art
second in my bracket, somehow

Ah gaddangit, I'm too late to vote. Thought it closed tomorrow the fifteenth, so I took the time to settle in to look through the options today. Closed today and by timezones and nighttimes I should've pretty much done it yesterday.
Nae STUM winners. Can't say I like that, but there's still interesting stuff among those who did win, and they've got it fair an' square. Next time.
Did get a good amount of votes still I see.

Now you do! I played with the creator of STUM ages back and I more or less learned that through them lmao
(the fact they used Cultist Sim portraits as readily available PC tokens helped to confirm it)
unique rain
And I feel there's something really unique to that angle
thanks! I very much wanted it to make more use of the less-used parts of the license, including the drones like you said, so it's great to see that comes across
I quite like the Grammatophylum as well, it does a similar thing by giving you better ways to use the tortuga's siege ram (size 3, stonefist trait). Not to mention the art goes real hard, love karrakin mechs and the kobold wreck is a nice touch to emphasise the house of stone theming.
polar hollow
Thank you ❤️
Gram also was built with the idea of Hyperdense Armor, inspired by the Corebook Goliath's Siege Armor (thus maybe synergizing with it's ability to Crush Target but I haven't been able to playtest that proper XvX )
unique rain
oh yeah that totally makes sense, the porting of goliath features is also cool, it's nice to have player options that match what the NPCs can do
polar hollow
oh yeah that totally makes sense, the porting of goliath features is also cool, ...
Yeah.
Amusingly its also what inspired Stonefist; a lot of the Goliath optional abilities have a physicality to them and themes that feel like they play on grappling and ramming, sometimes even from Range.
Pin is a powerful ability that snatch someone from Range 2 to pin them under the Goliath(in a way a reflavored grab with extras).
Power knuckle is essentially a souped up Ram with a reach of 2 again; also dealing kinetic damage but that can easily be covered by the Tortuga siege ram.
I couldn't give these abilities to a player frame(and beside there are ways to build talents or gear that reflect some of the vibe i an certain) but the Range 2 of both ultimately inspired the Stonefist trait

it was my favorite of all the tortuga alts, easily, in terms of mechanical design and execution. One i think worked very well
