The Good, The Bad and THE UNGRATEFUL: A Lancer TTRPG game

Saturday's in the late afternoon or evening would usually work for me. I may not be able to join a session on the 24th, depending on the timing, because I am going to a friend's birthday party. I am still interested in joining the campaign.
 
As a note, this weekend I have a prior engagement in the evening, but otherwise I can make Saturdays pretty free.
 
Would fit my schedule, through this Saturday I may not be able to make it since my parents want to do something for my birthday which falls on that day.
 
At present, I can play roughly any day, the time window, however, varies. Due to recent bits of sanity breaking out, I have a better window than I did last time I played with you cats, so generally speaking, the window between 1 PM EST and 8 PM EST is the one I can play in, the specific hours depending on which shift I'm working at any given rotation. (1-4 PM when I have nightshift, about 5:30-8:30 PM on dayshift).

If people are willing to be a little flexible, I can make every game, if we need to settle on a specific window, I can make roughly 75% of them.
 
ugh, as much as i'd love another Lancer game, my jobs schizo scheduling basically leaves me only able to do PbP, not d20 sessions.
 
So for the coming and next Saturday here's my situation. This Saturday I have volunteer work in the morning, but I'm done and can play by 1 PM EST. For the Saturday after that, I need to take a Food Safety Course. So reasonably I'd only be home and ready at 6 PM EST.

I have nothing on Sundays.
 
Probably going to start a week from this Saturday, since I still have a lot of prep work to do on maps and assets. 👍

Also, would like people to start posting their characters\chassis so I can prepare. :)
 
I'm up in the air for what I want to play, but I'll figure out something. Dusk Wing, Metalmark, or Mourning Cloak, probably? Character is an ex-noble from the KTB who's house has fallen apart so that should be fun.
 
I have two concepts I'm looking at depending on what other people do. Either a missile spam/electronic warfare Monarch or support/drone mommy Lancaster. Either way, character is gonna be a tough talking Colonist tryin to get out from under some significant debt.

Im torn between either the Goblin, Captin Kidd or the swallowtail.
 
I am torn between everything because I've never gotten to play Lancer and too many of the mechs are cool.

I'll get back with actual ideas once I am done DMing my game.
 
See all these people with their builds. Me, I'm a simple guy; I wanna bonk things, I see Blackbeard, I'm content. Secondary focus can come later.
 
Playing lich. Bein slooky hacker they them.

One thing to remember. An Everest is entirely valid to play, even in to late game. In fact it's an amazing mech.

I might be using it for LL 2 play since Goblin 1 is so good for a hacker/support build if I go kidd or swallowtail.
 
I am also contemplating a gun-fu Atlas, because why not? I'll settle on something tomorrow. Either way, thinking some for getting up close and personal.

Fifteen years. That was how long Kai stayed with MSMC, working his way up from grunt to get tapped as a 'mech pilot candidate. Hailing from the idyllic, peaceful, boring colony world of Magna Eleusis, Kai always had a hunger to reach beyond the confines of his home, to travel the stars - not for any romantic thoughts of discovering new worlds or boldly go where none had gone before, but simply to be able to experience all the galaxy had to offer in person, rather than from the distance of an Omni connection. So Kai signed up with Mirrorsmoke, and got his ticket out.

Over the years he proved his mettle as a dependable sort; solid, but not particularly interested in special advancement. He liked to sit in on the mechanized cavalry hangars, and sketch the machines - along the way he drew the attention of one of the detachment's senior Lancers, Shrike. For whatever reason, Shrike took an interest in Kai, and arranged for a series of aptitude tests and special training. Somehow - and to this day, Kai is still baffled at the reasoning - he found himself tapped as a pilot trainee. Somehow, he made his way through the trials when many others in the cadre failed. Somehow, he found himself sitting in the pilot's cradle of an Everest.

Five drops. That was how long it took for Kai to be deemed 'cursed.' Five consecutive drops starting from when he got his pilot's wings, where Kai was the only one recovered from his fireteam. There were whispers, but the blackbox footage was always clean - he was clear of accusations of foul play. But the damage was still done, and even the famed camaraderie of MSMC started to cool. Shrike never failed to give Kai a hard clap on the back and a "buck up kid, hard luck won't last," until the one time they never returned from a mission and were declared MIA. From there, things deteriorated. Kai fell back into old habits - quiet, unambitious, but now grimly tolerated rather than appreciated. He fell into a role as an outrider, the better not to tag others with his 'curse.'

Eventually, Kai decided enough was enough. He went to the board officer, and requested that his contract not be renewed. He snagged a shuttle to the nearest transit hub, and took the first transport going anywhere.
