For some reason a server I was on was making jokes about rewriting poems to be about #LancerRPG , so here is my very silly contribution.
Screenshot of a discord post. It reads as follows:

Turning and turning in the blinkgate
The NHP cannot hear the Lancer;
Things Structure, the CZ cannot hold;
HORUS' anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The license levels are loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best all lack Structure, while the worst
Are full of Predatory Logic.

Surely some Lesson of Kilo-Nueve is at hand;
Surely the Third Committee is at hand.
The Third Committee! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Deimos
Troubles my sensors; somewhere deep in sands of Khayradin
A shape with nanite body and the minds of men,
A gaze blank and pitiless as its Maw,
Is moving its 3 Speed, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant Hecatoncheires.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That five centuries of Full Repair
Were vexed to Wandering Nightmare by a rocking Cradle,
And what rough beast, its Antilinear Time come round at last,
Slouches towards New Madrassa to be born?

Definitely a bit more dated visually than I was expecting. Mostly fun so far, at least, though it’s funny the game keeps prompting me to talk to Carth only for him to get really guarded about it.

“Sounds like you aren’t very happy”.

Decided to work on an urban holdout Lancer map. I think I'm happy with how this turned out.

In the top left and right are numerous shops, the bottom left features some kind of scrapyard, and the bottom right appears to be a local church.

This was the map btw. The gap where the upper left demolished house is was blocked for 90% of the session by the Aegis' wall, leaving only the big patches of dangerous terrain as a route. Everyone was trapped in the back gardens of the townhouses all game.

"Albatross arrive on an early-modern world, depose a tyrant but lose a machine or two in the process, these lost machines become relics and are integrated into a new or syncretized belief system surrounding "metal gods", in the present day facsimiles of these "metal gods" have finally begun to be semi-mass produced, the players step into their own to fight a war, and then, just on the cusp of victory, they see familiar red descend from the heavens..."

finally working again on writing some lore blurbs for the exotic gear in my lancer module. here's a peek at some of what i've got so far (it's a gravity-based full tech)
Screenshot of a word document. It reads:

“Authority is like gravity”.

“It is invisible, and yet it surrounds us always. With but a few words, the ruler can move the masses as surely as a moon might move the tides. There are some who spend their entire lives struggling futilely against it – only to be made lesser should they succeed in their foolish rebellion. For in much the same way as zero-gravity saps away the muscle until one can no longer even hold up their own head, a society without a ruler to guide it inevitably turns to chaos”.

“Look, here. If there is one difference between authority and gravity, it is this: even Gravity itself can be mastered”.

I've not had a chance to run it, but I really love Vex's In Golden Flame module for Lancer! So many fun NPCs, locations full of character and history, and it engages with a lot of Lancer lore in a cool way without pulling punches even at some of the nicer factions in the setting.
