"[Girlfriend's nickname], I love you. Die. I love this campaign. I love this game. Also, fuck you. This was incredible. Holy shit this was so good. And also still fuck you... I love your writing. Also. Die."

I think my boyfriend is getting his ass kicked by our girlfriend in their lancer campaign in the other room.

An actual summary of the first session; Lancer is certainly a crazy game

Each of the Lancers somewhat introduce themselves, and are briefed limitedly that their goal is to investigate the blink gate, which had dissapeared years back before reappearing suddenly. Upon entering the blink gate, we are told instead of the commander helming as he said, a new handler is put in charge of the campaign. Rather quickly, the group splits up, with Bananaman and Subi going off to the corridors and the rest of the campaign following the main cargo hold. Both groups experience major trouble, with Grease, Needle, and Pelias finding themselves in line of fire. A voice rings out to Bananaman and Subi as they distinctly find themselves somewhere other. “Omopond bounces the rubber ball. Where does it go? Where does it go?”

Chat are we cooked

Last time on LANCER: an Atlas, an Emperor, and a Genghis attempt to board and scuttle a HORUS-controlled destroyer which is bearing down on the party’s corvette. Party’s allied fighter squadron uses cargo clamps to ferry the party’s mechs in, dodging PDC fire while party shoots down missile salvoes.

Party lands on hull, heroically. Recon sitrep, find an access point to get inside the vessel before HORUS can hit every enemy mech on the outer hull with the crown mother of all electronic attacks.

I chose an Elite Witch as part of the Opfor. In retrospect, maybe I was a little too zealous there.

Two meltdowns later, I have for the first time destroyed player mechs while GMing Lancer. Fighter squadron scrambles to extract two hardsuited pilots (one at 1hp) and a relatively unscathed Genghis back to the party ship.

Moral of the story, 4-5 heat cap vs. Witch does not fuck around. Tomorrow is the follow-up, we’ll see how this goes.

Ok, doing an actual writeup of tonight's lancer game.

The party is in a college for lancers, and have been in a tournament of 3v3 elimination matches for the past 2 sessions. This was their second match of 3, with a 4 team free-for-all afterwords. Death is easily reversible through cloning technology, so killing is not against tournament rules, though it is discouraged

The party consists of:

Three Thirds (Marcus LaRue): Originally an SSC Ace Pilot, when Marcus got to the school he discovered his mech has been replaced with a Lich and there is no record of his family or home planet. Has mostly been freaking out over that.

Chekov (Antoniya Kasyanova): Genetically modified heiress to a very minor noble family of the Karrakin Trade Baronies. Fan of Russia and Chess. Has very little information about Russia because of the time skip, and is bad at chess. Drives a Black Witch and is proud of it.

Smoking Guns (Levi): Son of an ISPN mechanic. Inherited his libertarians project, a recreation of the original, pre safety modification Zheng named Unionbuster. Solves problems with application of horrifying amounts of physical violence. Didn't make up his own callsign, it's what people called him after a video of him in his overheating cockpit went viral.

We have a player chosen "Play of the Game" memo, and here are the ones from tonight

Levi got a nosebleed from the depressurizing of his cockpit after rocketing through a wall to grab someone and then punching him into another wall so hard the wall+mech exploded

Antoniya tried to contain a greywash swarm by placing a magnetic field around it, only to immediately get tackled into the field and immobilized for a full round in the field with the berserk nanobots.

"The Tennis Ball": Antoniya launched the mech who controlled the greywash at Marcus, who sniped it in midair with a time gun. This made it so that the nanobots no longer considered the mech an ally, and so he was devoured by them so quickly he never hit the ground

How i feel as one of two Sags, left alone with two everests as the other one protects one everest who ran off down the spooky hallway (the living shield isnt doing too hot guys)
