Lancer: The Price of Life

VERY EARLY ALPHA. This is not a finished world and it is nowhere close to one. I am publishing it this early only to get feedback and suggestions, because there are very few mech worlds on Voyage to build from and I would rather hear what works and what breaks now than later. A lot of work remains. The bare minimum basics are done and I will be posting MANY updates. That is the plan to get this off the ground and actually resemble a fully functional voyage world. Keep in mind, there is no way that Lancer is going to transfer 1:1 to voyage in terms of rules so be prepared for a lot of improvising regarding mechanics. Suggestions are VERY welcome. Current takes place on Asclepius, a hot, oceanless planet in the Gula star system on the far frontier. The Red Star Institute rents the whole planet and strips it of Edenite, a red crystal that makes medicines capable of curing nearly anything, using time-debt labor under the protection of the Republic of Eden, a military dictatorship. The locals, nomads descended from a crashed generation ship, have formed the Asclepius Independence Army to fight back. Play a Union lancer sent in secret to find out what is going on, a Republic lancer, an AIA pilot, a hired gun on RSI's payroll, or Alice White, an ex-lancer whose employer is holding her needed medicine as a bargaining chip. Based on the Lancer tabletop RPG by Massif Press. Please support their awesome mech TTRPG. https://massifpress.com/lancer
