LANCER TTRPG Gets a Physical Edition Next Year Courtesy of Dark Horse
Dark Horse Books and Massif Press recently announced that they’ll be partnering up to release Lancer Tabletop Roleplaying Game Core Book. This is a physical version of the core book for the mud-and lasers tabletop RPG called Lancer set 15,000 years into the future. The game revolves around modular mechs and their pilots after humanity survives a near-collapse. I always love a good mecha game/show so I’ll definitely be wanting to check this one out.
LANCER is a mud-and-Lasers tabletop roleplaying game of modular mechs and the pilots that crew them. 15,000 years into the future, humanity has survived near-collapse and has since expanded ever wider into the frontiers of space. Organized by UNION, the central hegemon of the populated galaxy, there exists a rich and vast society rooted in extravagant tech and artificial intelligence. At Union’s heart, the dream of human utopia has been realized–but LANCER is set at the trembling edges of space and time, where Union’s utopian project has not yet arrived.
As a lancer, you pilot a mech as unique as yourself. You are, by training, luck, circumstance, or sheer grit, one of the best. In this era near the golden age, the best are needed: history’s ghosts gather at the edges of Union space. The great work of reconstruction is threatened by the power-hungry, the greedy, the remnants of old orders, and the new heirs to alternate futures.
Who will you fight for? What path forward will you follow? Answer, and see the galaxy shape around you.
Lancer was originally funded on Kickstarter and the PDF version of the Lancer Core Book is available on their website for $25 (a free version is available to sample it before committing). The physical version of Lancer Core Book will feature everything you need to play and run the game and will be available at bookstores on June 11, 2024 and at comic shops on June 12, 2024 with pre-orders already open for $59.99.
