In Golden Flame Act 1

In Golden Flame Act 1 is the first part of a three-part campaign for the Lancer tabletop RPG system by Massif Press. You take the role of mech pilots in the frontier system of Calliope, a strange place filled with the cast-offs of Union's utopian society. From the backwater mining station of Hell's Gate, you must defend the system from pirates, exploitative corporations... and a strange, shadowy cult trying to bring about the apocalypse.

Features

• An extensive guide to the setting of Calliope, a frontier system past the edge of civilized space, colonized by mistake and then abandoned by the corporations that built it. Its planets, settlements and culture are all laid out in detail.

• Five action-packed missions, taking you from derelict ships in distant orbits to the rainswept scablands of a pre-life world, from a casino city built around a decommissioned mining ship to an asteroid mine overtaken by sinister paracausal forces.

• A diverse cast of characters to grow attached to.

• New pieces of exotic gear to equip your mechs with.

• Two new Bonds for player characters: the Influencer, a minor celebrity who can sway public opinion and harness the power of their following, and the Technician, a solid worker who can really talk to machines - sometimes literally.

• Four new NPC classes for GMs to menace their players with, in this campaign or any other: the Deluge, a minigun platform that can cut off areas by literally drowning them in bullets, the Lobber, a close-range grenadier that can modify its grenades depending on the situation, the Slinger, a smooth operator with a deadly revolver, and the Parallel, a terrifying anomaly split between multiple timelines.
