Ghosts Beyond the Scar - A Narrative Campaign for Lancer

[subtle ridge]

Hey folks!

My name is Benjamin and I've been writing TTRPG stuff professionally for about six years now. I'm just recently getting into Lancer, and I really like everything about it. I'm trying my hand at writing a narrative campaign for it and was hoping to get some feedback. I've got the first 23 pages done (that's the lore dump, the about this book, first few beats, and first combat). You can download a PDF at the link below:

Thanks in advance for your feedback! 🙂

Ooh, did you do the art or is this royalty free stuff for the moment? Looks very good

Cover looks like Stars Without Number stock art; it’s a good pick!

[echo tundra]

Can't really read it in-depth but I'll give it a look later

[subtle ridge]

All stock art I either purchased or was free to use. 😁

This is off to an incredibly strong start. Vael and the Barony make for an interesting setting, and the art and layout are top notch. I'm not surprised to see you've been doing this professionally. It's still in development, but it's very polished.

Thank you for the kind words!

@here 1st Act plus all the front of book preamble is complete. Here's an updated copy of the PDF.

Anyone get a chance to look the PDF over?

Gonna take a gander when I get home. Also gonna send it to my player whom is considering running a campaign.

[subtle ridge]

Added Mission 2 and its first combat.

[subtle ridge]

Rest of Act II minus downtime added.

[subtle ridge]

All of Acts 1-2 are done and the briefing for Act 3 is complete. Rebalanced one of the encounters.

You're a machine. I'm impressed at how smoothly this is coming along. I'm looking forward to the full-fledged 1.0

[subtle ridge]

Acts 1-3 are all done plus the briefing for Act 4.

Solid writing so far. I'll check out 0.07 sometime this week with everything put together.

Will try and run this too some time in the coming month, if I can get a table.

I think something worth considering tho is changing the relationship between union and the system. It would be very uncharacteristic for union to just invade them and try to take over. And even if they did, I really doubt that union would lose as such.

[subtle ridge]

So the story has the captain of the first vessel to find the system be the son of a SecComm hardliner so he goes rogue and does his own thing. Once the Union realizes this they show up and apologize and negotiate peace.

Ahhh that's very interesting! I apologize if I came across as too confrontational btw. I could've gone thru more before judging too harshly.
