What it is about

Have you wanted to play Lancer only to end up unable to find enough players or a GM to do so? Wouldn't be nice if there was a "singleplayer" mode for Lancer? Well, after experiencing the same frustrations myself and encountering multiple scams pretending to do the same, I tried my hand at creating a legitimate Solo RPG guide/system for Lancer. This guide contains information on: How to automate hostile NPC actions and activation order during combat scenes. A basic Oracle specifically made for Lancer's narrative play. Catalogue of first-party resources provided in official Lancer supplements and assorted resources for improving Solo Play A system for creating long-term PC-Aligned NPCs as "Pseudo-PCs". How to adjust sitreps to 2-character parties. Because of this project’s background as a creation of spite towards multiple scammers pretending to make “Solo Lancer systems” for profit, this guide will always be free to access. Not only do I want people to be able to play Lancer even if they cannot get a full party (or if they cannot run Lancer: Tactics), but also to hopefully send the profits of the aforementioned scammers Into the Duat (or into the Firmament, take your pick). Wishing all the players that use this wonderful story and exciting gameplay experience! [PS: This project is still in development and may see changes in the future] Change Log: The Lone Lancer Version 1.0: Initial Release The Lone Lancer Version 1.0A: Small grammatical fixes The Lone Lancer Version 1.1: Made some more grammatical fixes Completely overhauled the Pseudo-PC generation process and the Wingman template The Wingman template now serves to make Pseudo-PCs behave more like normal PCs along with having its own extensive list of optional features to choose from All Pseudo-PCs start with the Wingman template by default, but can no longer choose Veteran or Commander Spec-Ops and Pirate are no longer valid choices for the secondary template due to Wingman having innate crit damage. All Pseudo-PCs now start with 2 Repair Cap, but no longer gain more from License Level increases
