A downloadable game

Bring Lancer's mecha combat and crunchy tactical action to the 3d6 of Green Ronin's AGE System!

This is an exercise in game design and mechanics for the team. A bit wider and more complex in scope than the previous project, the past year have been spent hammering out changes and new rules to adapt Lancer into a different medium of play. Using 3d6 to resolve attacks and tests, combat becomes slightly more predictable, but rules created to bridge the adaptation change the typical combat considerations.

Attacks hit more often, but cover is more important. Mechs move faster and pilots on the ground have far more to do, even if it is run away!

On top of being practice, it's also a lead-up into the Lancer: Recontact project which is going to be adapted from the AGE System. When that game is being worked on, expect regular updates here.

It's playable, but largely incomplete and lazily formatted to get it out to people.

Wait...I know it's not done, but in theory if you finished it; I could gut The Expanse RPG's system addons to the AGE engine, and then just slap this product on top? 

Funny you said that. That's sort of what we're working on.

Hell yeah! I won't get in your way then.

On another note; I went through Bleeding Hussars and banged out an LCP for it if you wanna check it out and critique it.
