Beat Revengeance again after losing my old save file. What a fucking ride, game that never disappoints.

It’s Cael! 🐀🏳️‍⚧️ @caelarkh.itch.io · 30/09/2026

Prepping for LL7 in IaM, where I cannot roll good damage to save my life. Responding with reasonable build choices I think.

Stazja has equipped her mech with a Nanowire Saber, a 1d6+1 damage sword. As a quick action, it may use it to attack everyone in a burst 1 area at the cost of 2 Heat (self). This weapon has been modified with OpCal, which gives it +1d6 damage 1/round, and Supermassive Mod, which makes all its attacks Overkill (instantly takes 1 heat and rerolls whenever a damage dice lands on a 1, can and will repeat until there are no 1s)

Huge congrats! Tossing my creature into the ring but really I'm just excited to see whatever you draw 😊

Artwork by RaspberryMilkshake depicting Stazja, a Korean woman with red eyes, a fox tail, and a messy cut of orange hair. She looks towards the viewer with a bashful but friendly smile. She wears a white tank top, dark grey cargo pants, and black laced boots, all with red trim and a matching set of a red choker and beaded necklace. It's clear that Stazja has seen combat- an old gunshot wound is visible on its shoulder, and a jagged scar forks across the bridge of its nose. She carries a sword with a circular crossguard and a ringed pommel, and a red-beaded rosary is bound tightly around her wrist. The silver cross glints beside the simple wedding ring upon her finger.

A reference sheet for Stazja made of various images

(Art by RosaMaltz) In a past life, Stazja was molded into an assassin. She is sitting for a family portrait in a conservative black dress, blood drenching her chin and neck. An older man looms in the background, obscured in shadow save for parts of is face and a hand on her shoulder. A rosary wrapped around her wrist glints in the light as both regard the camera with stony expressions.

This be how we’re feeling right now (combat resumes next week)

The scene from Halo ODST where Romeo takes a Gravity Hammer’s bladed edge to the chest and only survives because it smashes through his sniper rifle. Stazja’s face has been photoshopped onto him, and the stat block for its Swansong Homing Lance has been placed over the rifle’s two halves. It has the Stunned condition, and appears to have dropped two vtt text blocks:
* weapon destruction: on a 1-3, all weapons on one mount are destroyed
* Unravel Causality: use reaction -> miss

Do you like the Baronies? Do you like tense political intrigue plots? Have you always wanted to punch a member of the UVF? Consider taking a crack at my #LancerRPG module, Ironbound Shadows! We've got mechs, arena plots, and tons of messy idiots to beef with. caelarkh.itch.io/ironbound-sh...

The cover of Ironbound Shadows, a big ol three-mission Lancer narrative about foiling a fascist paramilitary organization trying to perpetuate The Troubles in Baronic Greek-Ireland. The cover features artwork by Naruga that displays two mechs facing off within an arena.

A set of four character headshots by @Keymint.bsky.social. They depict...
Janvier Katsaros, Shipping Magnate - a smiling older gentleman in a blue suit with warm skin, wavy hair, and an avuncular demeanor
Lady Ari O'Teahan, Marble Magnate - A severe older woman in green and black with beige skin, light scarring, and long pale hair)
Euryalos Athanasidhe, First Prince of House Athanasidhe - a frustrated man in a black and gold napoleonic uniform with ginger hair, fair skin, freckles, and notable facial scarring
Dulcinea Athanasidhe, Second Scion of House Athanasidhe - a dismissive, snarky woman in pink victorian attire who resembles her brother, with long, wavy hair, ice-blue eyes, and a pallid, sickly complexion.

An example page showing part of the Briefing for Mission 1: Into the Garden, where the PCs are tasked to travel into a rural area under cover, meet up with an Ungrateful contact, and extract them before a fascist paramilitary can sniff them out. The page includes a quote from Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome, by The Mountain Goats - "Be flexible, be unreplaceable / In a world of heavy footprints, be untraceable".

A page from a combat encounter in Ironbound Shadows displaying a dense tactics and narrative section alongside a detailed combat map. The encounter is an arena combat against Pluto and Pomegranate, a duo of lovey-dovey Pankrati performers

So far Stazja made a prayer to the Archangel, entered the field, immediately got structured, used a 1/scene reaction to perfect parry it and structure the Veteran, and then whiffed two whole attacks against a measly Grunt Breacher. Unsure if the Archangel likes her. #LancerRPG #IaM

A Veteran Bombard takes aim and targets four entire PCs along with an escort objective in one massive blast. It misses everyone badly except for Stazja (callsign Rayet) and the escort objective

Stazja triggers Unravel Causality, a reaction triggered when its mech would be reduced to 0 HP from an attack. It must make a ranged attack roll against the attacker's evasion; if successful, it completely nullifies the attack and reflects its damage and effects onto the attacker in their entirety.

Stazja makes the Causality attack and succeeds! (barely). The Veteran Bombard structures!

Later, Stazja dives after a Spacer Grunt Breacher and skirmishes with a Main-Aux mount. The first attack with a Parrying Blade rolls a 6 and misses. The second attack with a Chain Spear rolls a 6 and also misses. She needed like a 9 or something fyi

I mean seriously, look at how crazy good these all came out

Duclinea, a woman with ginger hair, stands with her back to the viewer in a big pink jacket, black pants, and high white boots, her expression one of resolute determination. A blue armband is wrapped around her left bicep as she levels a rapier towards the horizon, her blade almost glowing blue. Tendrils of a pink and green aurora curl up and around her and flow out in the direction of the blade, a representation of the will and spirit flowing through her. Her right hand rests on the handle of a cane

Stazja, a woman with long orange hair and a fox tail, is presenting a tray of cookies with a broad smile. She is wearing a low-cut 1950s style red dress, a blue choker, and heart-shaped earrings, with a long scar across her face. The image's sense of domestic bliss is complicated by the splash of blood dripping from the corner of her fanged mouth and the fact that the cookies are shaped like knives and hearts.

In a past life, Stazja was molded into an assassin. She is sitting for a family portrait in a conservative black dress, her hands clutching a rosary. An older man looms in the background, cloaked in shadow save for parts of his face and a hand upon the young woman's shoulder. She is hunching forward, her blue eyes directed towards the hand with a look of anxiety and fear.

A version of the family portrait from before, but taken after Stazja was molded into an assassin. It is sitting for a family portrait in a conservative black dress, blood drenching its chin and neck. An older man looms in the background, obscured in shadow save for parts of his face and a hand on her shoulder. A rosary wrapped around her wrist glints in the light as both regard the camera with stony expressions. Stazja's hair is straighter, its face and hands are scarred, and its eyes are now red.

Work on the vaguely pride-based OC fic continues. That's right gang it's starring her again. #LancerRPG #OCs

“Yup, that’s me!” She flashed her trademark, cheery grin – bright as sunshine, even with her pointed canines. “But, really, I’m not here to be a stage presence, I’m just here to be part of the community. So you can call me Stazja for now, okay?” Which would, hopefully, draw less attention than her stage name. When the teens continued to stare, it added “Um, She/It!” and tapped a hand against its chest to emphasize the cue.

A trio of extremely dripped out headless 40K sisters models. A sister superior points a mace to the left of the image while bracing a codemnor bolting in her left hand. A dialogus raises her hand in oration to the right while a sister with a massive fuck-off mace holds it in front of her in solemn vigil.

Another trio. One sister strides forward with an arming sword, ready to fight. Her shield is decorated with chains and ghoulish trophies. Another readies a great broadsword, while the third stoically plants a simulacrum imperialis

Four more brandishing maces. Two carry crossbow pistols, while the other two wield hand flamers.
