Why Should You Play Lancer? It's free for players and cheap for the GM More traditional reviews can be found all over the internet. I will focus on the things that make this game stand out from industry standards like Dungeous and Dragons. I plan to talk about why you should play Lancer instead of giving a play-by-play of the mechanics. Your tools are ingenuity, passion, and a giant freakin' robot. You, Lancer, are here to make the difference. Humanity is racing towards a post-scarcity utopia, and you're on a crash course with whatever is in the way. You are a Lancer: an elite mech pilot beholden to no one, or to your friends, or to a megacorporation, or to a cause, or to hyperadvanced enslaved math ghosts from beyond reality. It's a game where sufficiently advanced technology chruns through the mud and dust at the edge of the human frontier. Lancer is my current tabletop RPG obsession.
