Do you like mechs? Do you like tactical combat? Do you like highly modular loadouts and builds? Do you like being able to change out your build each and every mission just to try out something new? More than all that, do you want to fight for a utopia? A true utopia. A union of people that have faced such harship that they finally overcame greed and scarcity to provide the greatest life possible to all within their borders. A utopia that grows not through military power or force, but instead through diplomacy and peaceful integration. A utopia that must protect itself against external threats that deny its message. A utopia that needs lancers to fight for it.
That's a heck of a sales pitch. I do like all those things.
Might be worth a look then! The player-side materials are all free and can be found on COMP/CON.
11Dragonkid is a great Youtuber that has a rundown on pretty much everything on Lancer, from mechanics, to mechs, to builds, and even lore. They're a great starting point to learn the ropes of the system and setting.
The YouTube channel sounds perfect. I'll check it out, thanks.
