LANCER - Trans Megathread for July 7th through July 13th, 2025

LANCER is a ttrpg system originally released in November 2019, with a second edition released in July 2024.

A self-described "mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy," players are the titular Lancers - skilled mech pilots navigating the aftermath of a 30 year long galactic civil war. Although the resultant Union Third Committee ostensibly keeps the peace, conflict still brews as the massively powerful Corpo-States attempt to expand their territory and influence.

There's a lot more lore than that, but frankly it's unimportant because the only part of LANCER that most people care about are, of course, THE MECHS.

Lancers gain access to their mechs via manufacturer licenses (represented with License Levels, or LL), which give them access to advanced software and design files to construct Mech Frames, equipment, and systems via hyper-advanced 3D printing terminals. Manufacturers differ greatly in both aesthetics and functionality, with each specializing in a particular battlefield role.

The five manufacturers are:

So, uh, yeah, that's LANCER I guess. It's a ttrpg with very cool mechs that do fun and cool things and I recommend checking it out just for that! All of the artwork is also really amazing and I definitely encourage checking out more of it as well.

I'd love to hear about everyone's favourite mechs or robots from any media!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • Like a know it's a sign of social alienation and captialism and the rest but I fully get the temptation of AI dating, having immediate response when you're feeling things would be great. Friends are good don't get me wrong but when they got a full plate or other things having a reassuring voice is so nice. I know the key is being my own reassuring voice (believe me I talk to myself a lot) but just another voice that will say

    it's gonna be alright is good. I hate being alone but until I fix myself I feel stuck like this.

    • Normally I'd delete this because I feel like I'm being needy or whiney but fuck it I'll keep going. I'm staying positive and taking things in stride right now, I've worse setbacks in life and I'm still alive and as long as I keep living I'll keep moving forward. I know part of this previous post was hinting at the idea of me needing fixing or possibly a relationship helping me and idk. I'm trying not to take leave my development in other people's hands and striking a good balance of when I can ask for help.

      I've seen friends get better through the love and support their partners give them that shit looks real nice. I'd be blessed if I can find that support one day but in the mean time I gotta be my own love and support system.
