I'm a new fan who came in for this Lancer action. Can I just say, the UI/Overlay you all are running is absolutely beautiful. Excellent video editing and cool backstories. Shocked this channel isn't more popular than it is.

New to lancer and podcasts. Big thanks for the visuals, it makes it so much nicer to differentiate between the players!

Interesting choice that the guy named Tex, from New Texas, with his mech ranger, doesnt use the Raleigh frame. The one with a meter long revolver. And a chest revolver lol

@spellbookgaming 3 ай бұрын

Ah, but you see, everything is biggest on New Texas.

No clue how this landed in my feed, but man this TTRPG looks amazing. Waiting for a physical book so i can deep dive into the lore (never had a chance to actualy play a TTRPG, but like reading the books). Massif looks to have a reprint possibly scheduled for later this year based on their tweet from July 6. You are a fun group, I went back and listened to your other podcasts. Keep up the good work. As far as a new season goes after number 4, I would throw the Witcher in there. I have not seen many people stream that game.

@Matthias129 5 ай бұрын

Just started this video, and new to this channel, but I'm already giving a thumbs up and all that just for giving the players the EQ bars or whatever. Really helps distinguish who's talking (at least, when not everyone is talking at once 😉), as most vids/channels you get like 20 seconds of introduction and that's it. They never speak about their character in third person, so when you have 5 nerds that all sound very similar it gets super confusing to know who's who. I know any quality of life for that is only quality for the listener as it adds much more work for whoever is editing, but thank you.

May not have a group to play, but I'm loving these vibes and can't wait for my book! ❤

I wanted to see how a lancer game worked since ive only recently gotten into it. I like the story. Cool ambience music and visuals. I'll definitely have to finish the rest of yhe episodes.

@MrCutthroatish 6 ай бұрын

Lol i was worried this would just be banter but the gm does a great job allowing for shenanigans but keeping the story tight and interesting well done! Gonna binge these!

@jony12bhm 10 ай бұрын

so you guys are not using the 5016U timeline for this campaign? is all homebrew? or is this based on some of the books? it looks awesome 🤩

@spellbookgaming 10 ай бұрын

It's all homebrew! John wrote the basics of the lore and then we all made up planets, etc. as part of our backstories to fill in the blanks. -Alex V

@Sorain1 4 ай бұрын

One thing I'll say about it, the mechanics are solid enough you can easily decouple them from the setting without much issue. (The license system is the only sticking point, potentially.)

@zacherybelcher8429 8 ай бұрын

A friend of mine showed me lancer and got me hooked on the idea of playing a campaign, DM ain't even finished and i'm here trying to shoehorn the 90s game Marathon into a homebrew game but i've never DMed one before let alone played it. thank you all for the wonderful campaign such a good example of how one should be, its a huge help for getting a handle on it and entertaining to boot

There are several web-based platforms to play TTRPGs without the actual TT :-). Most popular is roll20 but there are a ton of others, some web-apps, some actually thick clients.
