Not included is the NPC creation, GM section, and setting info - but everything in this version of the core book is otherwise the exact same (art and all) as the main book. Included with the free PDF of the Lancer Core Book re all the core rules, mechs, and character options - everything you need to learn LANCER and build a character. It’s best with a group of 3-5 players, and can be used to run a one-shot session or persistent campaign. Lancer offers deep, modular mech customization, a wide range of player backgrounds and hooks to prompt storytelling, and a system and setting with room for any narrative you and your group want to tell. Others still will fight for groups acting in opposition to those in power - for the underground, for the forgotten, agents of entropy and agents of yet more radical revolutions. Others will carry the banner of a corpro-state or mercenary company, working to advance private interests while lining their pockets.

Some groups will fight to rectify the crimes of previous administrations others will fight for their nation, pieces in a greater game of hegemony. In Lancer, players adopt the roles of mechanized chassis pilots - mech pilots - comrades together in a galaxy of danger and hope.

Lance r's galaxy is one where utopia exists, but is under threat, and the struggle is not yet entirely won the revolution is not yet done. The setting features a mix of gritty, mud-and-lasers military science fiction and mythic science fantasy, where conscript pilots mix ranks with flying aces, mercenary guns-for-hire brawl with secretive corpro-state agents, and relativistic paladins cross thermal lances with causality-breaking, unknowable beings.

Five thousand years later, humanity lives in the wake of a desperate revolution, one where the victorious radicals now manage the galaxy they've won. Lancer imagines a future where a survivor humanity has spread to the stars after weathering terrible ecological collapse on Earth - the end of the Anthropocene as a consequence of unrestrained consumption and poor stewardship.
