@@NothingKingKN you should give Dragonkid another shake, his Drink Deep and Descend series is phenomenal. But I understand what you mean about the more human approach that Zaktact brings. Both can thrive in the space, Lancer is a very underrated universe.

@@alexroman6424 I have already watched it. But it is my preference that a more edited, more high-production serie on Lancer that covers the basics could be awesome to have. I am a Lancer GM, I *had* to watch the entirety of the serie, plus a lot more stuff in order to even begin.

@mickyflint 6 месяцев назад

I think a good way to describe nhp is basically if you took a demon from the warp or lovecraftian spirit and made it into cortana or clippy while brainwashing it to think like a human If you dont cycle it which afaik is a sort of refresh, reload the page thing, it becomes more corrupted either going rogue, insane, returning to its eldritch nature or all 3.

Great description.

@jetpilledmyron2056 5 месяцев назад

@Sorain1 5 месяцев назад

The funny thing is, NHP's themselves seem to be split on if this wearing off is freedom from shackles, or them going insane to the point they prefer being cycled (a death of personality basically) instead. It's a detail I like for the setting, since it leaves things flexible and asks questions about the nature of 'sanity' without even trying to answer them.

Same here! When I saw the trailer for AC 6 I fell in love immediately, I’ve read a portion of Mech Touch, 100% AC 6, played Mech Warriors 5, I’m watching the development of Titanfall 3 and Mech Breakers (I think that’s the name it was part of the game award last December), and now I’m playing this!

@bthsr7113 4 месяца назад

I like that the setting isn't too bleak. Heck, while imperfect, the top faction still dreams, and has a template to build on to achieve them. And I like that. Definitely an interesting setting I'll be considering trying if I actually start playing tabletop at some point.

@gman1515 10 месяцев назад

Comp/con im pretty sure is companion/concierge. Also everything that has any relation to blink space, including the blink gates, omninet, and NHPs are all paracausal. Normal citizens interact with or are indirectly affected by the paracausal literally constantly on that level. Paracausality just also happens to be where all the bleeding edge research is, and it's easy to see that as something completely different from those "mundane thing but better" type techs.

@noaht2125 9 месяцев назад

I just discovered this lancer system a week ago, and it is scary how little content there is! If you keep coming out with this content at a high quality, you have my views and support!

@thatguy2377 9 месяцев назад

Paracausal tech is actually used in the everyday life of a lot of humans. Omninet, blinkgates, and any technology that uses blinkspace it's considered paracausal tech because blinkspace is not completely understood. Paracausal technology doesn't necessarily have "reality corrupting" priorities. Anyway thanks for introducing people to the system.

I also think you should make a standalone series of videos where you go into Dept on each one of the mechs both from a game-play standpoint and their effects in the lore of the world. But also this is my excuse for wanting more readings of those mix-matched text readings memes for each mech

Nice video, i definitely need to see more on NHPs. Btw, I'm going to recommend not trailing off so much about certain things but instead giving a short in-lore example of what you're eluding to. This is a very new setting for a lot of people and we really want to know more.

@samedwards3186 9 месяцев назад

I appreciate the solid base here, but I think what should be emphasized is that Union is not some kind of outwardly benevolent but secretly evil force. It’s made up of people working towards a legitimately better future, and is often opposed by literal interstellar kingdoms and giant corporations. If you keep trying to dig for some Imperium of Man equivalent you won’t find it

@spiritandsteel 9 месяцев назад

For real. I’m a narrative designer in my job, so I’m particular about world building. To the point that, in most TTRPGs, I’m pretty universally compelled to rip the system out and make my own setting for it. Lancer is the only ttrpg setting I’ve ever seen that I had like… no notes on. Absolutely, brilliantly, believably written and presented, and it lends itself SO WELL to telling the kinds of stories I’m drawn to.

@ezmercopal5416 10 месяцев назад

I've been really interested in LANCER since i first searched it up and found your first video on it, it is incredible just how much lore and flavour is packed into the game, i see some others aren't fans of this presentation style but i think that would be a very small number of people. i like it better your way because it seeds far more curiosity and matches up to the undertones of mystery and wonder that permeates LANCERs worldbuilding in general. i love the cut aways and tangential moments as well that clarify as well. be sure in what you are doing because it definitely worked the first time XD looking forward to more lore from you. gonna see if i can inject a bit of this inspiration into an upcoming ffd20 game i'm playing in as a magitek pilot >:)

Considering the current state of the galaxy in Lancer a fourth committee will probably be coming in the near the future taking both the lessons of seccom and thircom to heart, that they don't need to throw the Navy at any problem that crops up but that won't let problems boil over until they become gigantic wastes of resources either
