A downloadable LCP

Unearthed Ancients is a homebrew addition onto Lancer, a mech TTRPG, which includes 8 new frames, 2 from each manufacturer. The themes of the mechs all follow the same philosophy: "they were there, at some point." As such, all frames have taken inspiration from extinct, or previously extinct animals. Be warned! This frames were discarded or abandoned in development for a reason by their manufacturer.

This LCP currently includes:

  • IPS-N Quastenflosser (Coelacanth): A long range, reload focused artillery intended for infantry support.
  • IPS-N Pygmius (Pygmy Possum): An extremely small recon unit that enhances characters that can benefit from lock-on.
  • SSC Smilodon (Sabre-tooth): A striker that pounces on its prey, debilitating them in the process.
  • SSC Mammut (Mammoth): An extremely large mech that doesn't care what stands in its way.
  • HORUS Nosferatu (Locust): Death on legs, don't let it get too close!
  • HORUS Kaimen (Snail): Be the shell that can protect your allies from afar.
  • HA Megalina (Megalania): Grapple/controller focused, heat analogue of the Genghis line.
  • HA Faultier (Sloth): Delays its bombardment to enhance its attacks.

Art is included with each frame, found when imported into COMP/CON or by downloading the extra .zip in this post.

You can find the design docs to each of the frames here, and the patch notes here.

This licenses in this LCP have gone through as much testing as one GM could do, so balance change recommendations are always welcome.

Hey, I just downloaded this, and I'm super excited to use these frames in the upcoming lancer campaign I'm part of!

I did have a question though - when I downloaded the zip file, not all the frames had images in there. In fact, only the megalania, the nosferatu, the pygmius, the quastenflosser, and the mammut did. No Kaimen, Faultier, or Smilodon, unfortunately.

Was this intentional?

Yes! Some frames don’t have yet clear set-in-stone identities, and thus have not yet been commissioned for artwork. You can find any of the most up to date images or licenses on the sheets doc. The module has been on haiatus for a while now, but I’ve finally been able to get back into playtesting. Expect 0.3.1 in the next few weeks.
