Hey everyone! A few weeks ago, my brother was playing DnD, and I noticed that he was using physical spell cards to keep track of what he could and couldn't cast. I thought that was a great idea, and wanted to make something like that for Lancer!

I imagine these being useful as a theory crafting tool, and a gameplay tool in paper games to help keep track of equipment status (limited charges, destroyed status, etc.)

I made up a few example cards just to check the formatting. I wanted to get some feedback before I went wild on the entire equipment roster. I plan on making these for every equipment in the official publications, excluding exotic equipment, but I'm starting with the core book first since it's the biggest. Let me know what you think!

I think these look dope af haha

Lol thanks! Looking through the equipment roster, there's a few that'll be hard to fit into a card, so that'll be a fun challenge

#

Oh, and since I didn't mention in the first post, these will be free once I'm done

Progress! After not having access to my computer for a few days, I finished all the GMS weapons, and I’m about halfway through the GMS systems.

#

I’ll post a google drive link to the GMS cards once they’re all done

I so absolutely wanted to do this myself; I wanted to "cardify" all of a Mech's abilities as well; I feel it is more interactive than just reading off of a sheet. I am so here for this and so excited for any updates! They look so good!

Glad you like them! I was thinking about doing the mech abilities too, but I'll have to think more on the format. Some abilities (cough Apocolypse Rail cough) are a bit too complex for a small card. Maybe a big one?

As for progress, I'm finished with GMS, and about 3/4 done with HA. I just need to finish the last few systems. I had to change the formatting when I noticed some big differences between Comp Con and the rulebook. Things should go faster now that that's sorted. I'll post a complete tally in a moment

#

GMS
Weapons: 21/21
Systems: 14/14

HA
Weapons: 12/12
Systems: 19/30

HORUS
Weapons: 0/12
Systems: 0/30

IPS-N
Weapons: 0/18
Systems: 0/24

SSC
Weapons: 0/14
Systems: 0/28

This is for the completed Illustrator files, not the final exports. Those I still need to figure out

Working my way through HORUS now, and I may have found the shortest description in the book:

#

I'm not a fan of the empty space, so I might put either the chassis art, or the manufacturer logo in the background at low opacity

#

Something like this?

I like manufacturer logo. That's very crisp.
