They need to fight harder and get a new leader. Not you.

Oh yah, in that case my advice isn’t very helpful, sorry. Best of luck with that!

Just got the notification too! Deluxe edition in slip case for me! I’m excited to finally get the physical books!

On the off-chance this helps, there’s a β€œconfig.lock” file that is made under the config folder in user data that should only exist if the program is running (on windows). If it’s there when the program isn’t running, it won’t launch. Delete it. This happens to me semi-frequently.

That sounds like an awesome battle! I’m a new GM for Lancer so ideas like this are really helpful, thanks!

That’s sick! What NPC class was it? Or was it custom? How did the fight go?

β€œV1 Exploded lol” is funny to me than it probably should be. I love it.

The dice sometimes decide you’re playing a tragedy or comedy game and there’s not much you can do about it.

Dude that sucks. Contacting MCDM support is probably a good next step.

I’m always worrying things like this will happen, though in this case I’m confident MCDM support would send you a new book if it actually got badly damaged.

Now this is a good place to put a spooky blood pool!
The terrain actions and especially the foreshadowing tag are very clever! It gives both sides time to plan how to get the other to be targeted, lots of strategy, I like it!

I’ve been enjoying seeing the ones you’ve made so far, I’ll keep an eye out for it!

The dynamic of the leader’s minions having to keep the heroes away from the pool while also staying away themselves is an interesting one!
I’m curious what the benefit of a ritual like that would be, given it harms even the leader. Maybe a couple extra malice per round for a simple one?

20.10.2025 21:34 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Interesting! If the villain using the pool has a bunch of allies guarding him, are they immune to the pool too? Or do they have to keep away as well? Honestly either would be cool!

20.10.2025 18:19 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

But what’s a good villain without their personal gelatinous rhombus they keep in the basement and feed heroes to?

(I totally agree with you btw, but more crazy critters means more cool minions for those villains!)

It’s definitely a specialized weapon, yah. Powerful but with notable drawbacks.
I’m also not sure why they don’t avoid friendly fire, but I guess it’s probably game balance somehow.

11.10.2025 14:03 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

The fact that it’s an ordinance weapon (must shoot it before you move on a turn), it gives you two heat every time you use it, and it has a somewhat short range sort of all balance it out a bit. It still definitely is pretty powerful though! Just be careful of friendly fire!

If it kept CarPlay and the hatchback model, I’d be very interested. Sadly, no, we can’t have nice things I guess.

The foundry system is still very much a work in progress. Updates are pretty regular. Give it time and it’ll get better. Doesn’t help if you want to run a game now though.

Lancer has the β€œGet Organized” downtime action that lets you build an organization of some sort that the PCs lead.
Draw Steel has a bunch of respite activities that let you work with your allies to build something together, up to an airship.
I could be misunderstanding but these systems have options

Mamdani: "What we have built in this city is also an indication of what politics can be. After the November election, we heard that young people were leaving the Democratic Party, they were getting disinterested in politics. And we built a campaign where we said, what if we treated them w/ respect?"

I’m definitely not jealous or anything. They look gorgeous!

Solid state batteries seem promising. Existing range and charging speeds are already pretty good on newer vehicles, but from my understanding, solid state batteries would take that to a whole new extreme.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

everything about this @jamellebouie.net video is spot on, but I particularly appreciated the observation that the Trump admin is attempting to create a real-world version of AI slop as part of their propaganda efforts.

Range easily. Fast cars are fun, but as long as I can get up to speed to merge onto a freeway reasonably well, I’d rather have the utility of more range.

If only they kept the hatchback body style and allowed CarPlay, I’d be waiting excitedly for this car. Sadly, neither is likely.

There is literally no way. One of the unfired bullets had the Helldivers 500kg bomb stratagem code carved into it.
