Originally backed with over $400K raised on Kickstarter, the LANCER Tabletop Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook will be presented by Dark Horse Books and Massif Press, and is poised to provide tabletop gaming with an entirely new far-flung science fiction future to explore on game night.

LANCER is a mud-and-Lasers tabletop roleplaying game of modular mechs and the pilots that crew them. 15,000 years into the future, humanity has survived near-collapse and has since expanded ever wider into the frontiers of space. Organized by UNION, the central hegemon of the populated galaxy, there exists a rich and vast society rooted in extravagant tech and artificial intelligence. At Union’s heart, the dream of human utopia has been realized–but LANCER is set at the trembling edges of space and time, where Union’s utopian project has not yet arrived.

As a lancer, you pilot a mech as unique as yourself. You are, by training, luck, circumstance, or sheer grit, one of the best. In this era near the golden age, the best are needed: history’s ghosts gather at the edges of Union space. The great work of reconstruction is threatened by the power-hungry, the greedy, the remnants of old orders, and the new heirs to alternate futures.

Who will you fight for? What path forward will you follow? Answer, and see the galaxy shape around you.

The LANCER Tabletop Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook is an expertly illustrated hardcover (8.5” x 11”) tome, featuring a deep, story-rich setting for players to engage with. Every choice they make, every ordnance they mount, every weapon they wield — all of it has lore attached, just waiting for a story to develop. Players and Game Masters alike can get their hands on the full rule book when it hits book stores on June 11, 2024 and comic shops on June 12, 2024.
