it’s meee I’m your guardian angel hiiiiii 😇 okay🙏 so. in about six months, you’re gonna die of starvation. 🥺 and if I don’t protect you, I will get: #fired! 🫢 and that is No Good 🙅♀️ hahaaa So. 🙏 I looked into causes of starvation, and it turns out: Your death is totally preventable! 😯 Uh oh! 😆 There’s more than enough food to sustain you without interfering with anyone else’s survival, but you’re not allowed to have it! 🤨 Whaaat? 🤷♀️ Apparently, your death is premeditated by thousands of things called “shareholders.” So. 🙏 I’ve been killing people,
please help my partner get out and move in with me
my partner @renum-crimsonvale is being kicked out and needs a place to stay. we’re hoping to move out together eventually but for now the only option is to stay with me and my parents until we can get enough to move out fully. anything is appreciated 💜
there’s this guy on tiktok who has like a giant fucking contraption that concentrates sunlight onto one spot and he just posts videos of him vaporizing shit in his yard with it but the kicker is that he sounds exactly like butthead
The core mech combat gameplay loop is solid. I don’t think a second edition would need to change very much.
The things I’d really like to see in a theoretical 2E Lancer are the following:
Integration of the changes made in Kai Tave’s NPC Rebake. In my opinion, Lancer’s single biggest issue is the combat experience at higher levels of play, which the rebake fixes entirely. Vanilla enemies get absurd damage output via multiattack and scaling accuracy, whereas Rebake NPCs are still significant threats but have more reasonable damage outputs and broader tactical applications.
Better core powers for the Goblin and the Death’s Head.
Serious revision of the out-of-mech narrative gameplay loop. It’s a little too freeform right now.
A few more adds
Flight rework; the existent system is just full of headaches.
Adding some generic GMS Tech Attack LL0 modules so you’re not between the rock of Ok Spam FragSig as an Everest and the hard place of Have Game Breaking Tech as a Chomo
Core Bonus tweaks; I see a lot of very samey use in play because most CB for utility lose out to specific bonuses.
Death’s Head rework. The whole mech needs it, the state of the game just left that poor thing behind. Napoleon too, for that matter.
Better Superheavy Weapon rules to reduce Mass CPR Spam
Finally, fix the damn delete issue with CompCon. Please.
Heavily agree with almost all of this, but specifically talking about tech attacks reminds me:
I would remove Puppet Systems from Goblin’s H0R_OS 1 and put it on the Minotaur’s Viral Logic Suite, in exchange for VLS’ Banish. This would mean you could no longer dip 1 into Goblin for the only two tech attack options you’ll ever need if you’re not piloting a Chomolungma. Sorry, but H0R_OS 1 does not need to be that good. It’s game-warping.
I said “I agree with almost all of this,” and there was one exception.
Better Superheavy Weapon rules to reduce Mass CPR Spam
I have never heard of this being a problem.
CPR is the only low level superheavy I’ve ever seen get used and in my experience its pretty rare for anyone to use anything else, but the reason behind that makes sense (its just very reliable and useful in a lot of situations without needing setup, unlike, say, the death’s head railgun), and also my experience is pretty limited.
unless they mean people going cpr > stabilize > repeat, in which case ??? this is not a problem
