Lancer

A tabletop RPG where giant mechs, tactical combat, political ideals, and personal drama collide in a far-future galaxy.

What This Book Is​

Lancer is a science-fiction TTRPG about mech pilots who serve factions, fight wars, explore forgotten worlds, and decide what the future of humanity should look like. It mixes deep tactical combat with bold narrative themes, creating a game where your character's ideology matters just as much as the mech they build.

Who Will Enjoy It​

  • Fans of Evangelion, Gundam, Armored Core, or Titanfall.
  • Players who enjoy tactics-heavy games with meaningful decisions.
  • Groups who want a strong mix of storytelling + crunchy combat.
  • GMs excited about building political campaigns, military missions, faction intrigue, or frontier exploration.

Why You Will Love It​

  • Top-tier mech customization — build frames, swap systems, optimize loadouts, and create your perfect war machine.

  • Tactical but fast — combat is crunchy, but the rules run surprisingly smoothly once the squad gets rolling.
  • Digital-ready — to tools like COMP/CON.

Fun Fact​

The game's creators, Tom Parkinson-Morgan is are also behind the webcomic Kill Six Billion Demons — which explains why Lancer's worldbuilding is so stylish, strange, and full of flavor.
