Hey all!

I’m very proud to announce the first test release of a side project  I’ve been working on for some time now, LANCER, the Mech RPG.

You can pick up, read, and download a test copy here for free. Give it a read, try playing it, and let me know what you  think. If you’re into military sci-fi, Titanfall, Destiny, comic books,  the Halo series, BattleTech, or all forms of Giant Robot media, you  might love the hell out of it.

Well this certainly looks interesting, and the inspirations are right up my ally.

Are you accepting questions and/or Feedback on Lancer? I already got a game going and ran into some minor confusion on clarification.

This is pretty great; it definitely feels like a Titanfall RPG with shades of BatteTech and Mobile Frame 0! Though a very quick bit of feedback as I read through this: if the core computer keeps the mech balanced upright, disabling it should definitely do more than just Jamming - a mech with a disabled core computer should be at least Jammed and Crippled, and probably also Impaired.

Also, while I'm at it, a quick suggestion for a GMS mod because I noticed a critical lack of VOTOMS: Gliding Wheels (GMS mod, 1IP): your mech has wheels built into its feet, and you can use them to "skate" along the ground at high speeds. When you Boost, you may move twice your Speed, but you make Dangerous Terrain tests with 1 Difficulty when you do so.

So a Major question im getting from my players is how the Licenses work. We understand that every license gives you access to a new mech, stats increases and gear and that these are added to your Kit. the first question is do the total of all stat increase move to each different Mech ie i have +7hp +3Hull +1 Systems and i can move those to a Blackbeard for example but the Hull and system cant go above 15 this way? And what ever gear i have got can be put on the Blackbeard even if the gear is mostly from SSC licenses or is gear and systems maker specific outside GMS?
