Any word on a re-print for a physical version or another kickstarter campaign? Alternatively have you considered DriveThru, given there is a clear demand for Lancer.
Failing that is it possible to get authorisation to take this to a printers if you buy the pdf?
Are there any plans to make physical copies of Lancer available? I've heard they were available at one point, if only as surplus from the Kickstarter campaign, but I haven't been able to find any other info about them.
Yeah you're right, I apologise for this message. I've made it while I had no way to communicate with the staff due to a shadow-like ban. It has been sorted out thankfully and have just forgot I wrote this message. I'll delete it since it doesn't reflect who I am anymore along with getting a thirdparty for no reason involved.
I would like to know if there is any kind of licensing for another language. We are a small publisher here in Brazil and we are interested in launching Lancer in Portuguese.
I'm waiting for a contact, you can send me a return by email: rpgcomnozes@gmail.com
hey so i have this question, i adquired the lancer pdf in late pledge, and i paid 30 usd for it, and is just the pdf , whats the difference between this 25 usd and the premium pdf i have?
It looks like they started selling a physical copy, perhaps fairly recently; it's available from Massif's online store. https://massif.netlify.app/shop
I'm loving the book and finally have someone interested in playing it! My question is: in the section talking about non-human intelligences, when you mention the Egregori in the footnotes you mention that there is an expansion coming that will dive deeper into this topic called No Room for a Wallflower. I noticed it's not available in the store yet, is there any info you can give us on when it'll be coming out?
The official discord has a dedicated comp/con channel with faqs. https://discord.gg/DmRRQFAccf Remember to backup often.
If you're using the webapp the content manager is on the home screen or in the top right context menu marked by three dots. It should be under directory.
That's due to how the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality was structured - there's an absurd number of products in it, so rather than automatically showing them all as owned automatically, you have to manually click "claim" on them from the bundle page first for that to happen (I think).
Why does the itch.io "More information" box say this product was "updated" 4 days ago (September 7th), even though the downloads page doesn't show any of the included files having been updated since 53 days ago?
According to the company in the KS (@lancer_rpg on twitter) they did have surplus copies, and watch their twitter for information as they figure out how to make them available.
For the paid/premium version of the core book (which I believe is what was included in the itch.io Racial Justice and Equality bundle), the NPC data is listed alongside the other downloads.
Are you asking about how to put it into Comp/Con or where to find the file?
If it's the latter: For the paid/premium version of the core book, the NPC data is listed alongside the other downloads.
If you don't have the material associated with your itch.io account: I believe that if you got it on BackerKit, you should have received an email with a link to an itch.io page where you could download/access it from.
The core book has all of the information for game runners, with NPC character sheets, advice and rules for running cmpaigns, and extra information about the game's setting to help tell the story.
To play, you'll need the GM to have this book, but the players only need the free book to learn how to play, build their character, and learn enough about the setting to enjoy the game
In addition to what Gaeel said, purchasing this version also gives you the .lcp files for the NPC mechs for use in COMP/CON. And it appears that mech token images have been recently added to the downloads here too :)
Absolutely loving this game. Plenty of lore to sink into. An aggressive progression system that encourages some risk taking. Easy to prep for, and with the comp/con app, easy to run.
Ran my first Lancer game a few days ago online with the group I usually play with in person, and it translated extremely well to online play. Comp/Con is a beautiful and unique tool for players that is both intuitive and responsive, and the encounter builder/mission runner accompanies it really well. By the end of the session, most of the players had set up their webcams with cockpit backdrops because they were that into the game. With two weeks of prep and a 15-20 minute brief for a group of veteran role players, we were ready to go. It's a great system, a great world, and I really look forward to more from the world of Lancer in the future.
I could have used this PDF over three years ago when I was doing a mecha game if it existed (it didn't when I ran the campaign). The art is stunning (inspiring imagination for players/GMs), and the PDF is structured professionally where I can find the segments easily. As a GM, this is a must have when first looking through a big rule book. I am beyond pleased and something I did not expect coming out of the that bundle.
This art is art beautiful, literally any one of these could be used as a background for my device, especially the field one which is on this page.
I was looking through this and I noticed how much detail has been put into everything, I don’t usually play TTRPGs but judging by this I’m going to give it a go.
Why is there no Character sheets available anywhere? Aside from an app which may be useful if you play online but is terribly inpractical if you play on around a table. So is there anyway to get printable character sheets (preferably in pdf format)?

If I buy the hardcover book will that include PDF and LCP file access?
Same question
How can I access the .lcp files if I bought the Lancer Core Book on the Role.app store?
After years of wanting to try out the game, I finally bought it. Hopefully I can run it well.
Can't wait to play my first game!
I’m hoping to buying a physical copy for my next campaign, will it be available somewhere?
preorders for physical copies are available now, they'll be delivered this summer
Any word on a re-print for a physical version or another kickstarter campaign? Alternatively have you considered DriveThru, given there is a clear demand for Lancer.
Failing that is it possible to get authorisation to take this to a printers if you buy the pdf?
I don't think anyone will stop you from printing out a pdf lol.
Many professional printers require authorise for works which are trademarked/copyrighted.

Any news about the hardcover new print?
Just got this book and all the settings and supplements. It's not enough I need more Lancer, it's so damn good!
Any tools included to play solo? Or solo friendly?
Hey, this would be a great question to ask in the (un)official Lancer discord: https://discord.gg/lancer
The folks over there are great, and there are a ton of resources they've got listed for supplements to play.
Hey, uh, what is an lcp file, and what do I do with it?
You get down with the clown.
You put it into COMP//CON, or Foundry, for mech and pilot info. It's how you build pilots/mechs/NPC's out with the books you own.
Are there any plans to make physical copies of Lancer available? I've heard they were available at one point, if only as surplus from the Kickstarter campaign, but I haven't been able to find any other info about them.
Massif tweeted out recently that they're looking at getting more physical copies. But there's no real timeframe on it as of yet. https://twitter.com/Lancer_RPG/status/1614675569588801537?s=20
Good to know! Thank you for the heads-up.
Hey i got the book with https://app.playrole.com/games/ but i didn't get the Comp/con with it is that right?
Comp/con is a website on the internet

Hello there,
I would like to know if there is any kind of licensing for another language. We are a small publisher here in Brazil and we are interested in launching Lancer in Portuguese.
I'm waiting for a contact, you can send me a return by email: rpgcomnozes@gmail.com
hey so i have this question, i adquired the lancer pdf in late pledge, and i paid 30 usd for it, and is just the pdf , whats the difference between this 25 usd and the premium pdf i have?
Sadly, it doesn't seem like it.
I made a video review of this game on YouTube. Check it out:
Hello, I was wondering if there is a way to get a hard copy of the game. Thank you for your time.
It looks like they started selling a physical copy, perhaps fairly recently; it's available from Massif's online store. https://massif.netlify.app/shop
Yep, that site launched March 25: https://twitter.com/Lancer_RPG/status/1375101296823439360

It's out now!
Act 1 is now out, here: https://massif-press.itch.io/no-room-for-a-wallflower-act-1
It's the first part of a 2(?)-act campaign.
Hey there was an update for Comp/Con that changed the Long Rim program stuff, where do I go to get the update?

I bought a copy for someone that I found out already had it. Is there a way I can get a refund?
It looks like all refunds on itch.io would have to go through itch.io's support regardless: https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms#9-refunds
You can contact support by emailing support@itch.io.
Thank you, I'll give that a try.
Can we expect a physical version at any point?
As of March 25, they've launched a site where you can buy a physical copy of the core book here: https://massif.netlify.app/shop
Apparently, this game was in the Racial Justice bundle, but I can't download it, only buy. Is it just me ?
Go into the bundle directly and click download on the game.
That's due to how the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality was structured - there's an absurd number of products in it, so rather than automatically showing them all as owned automatically, you have to manually click "claim" on them from the bundle page first for that to happen (I think).
Best. Game. EVER.
This is truly comparable to playing with mind LEGO's!
Why does the itch.io "More information" box say this product was "updated" 4 days ago (September 7th), even though the downloads page doesn't show any of the included files having been updated since 53 days ago?
Probably cleaning up some of the text in the description on itch.io?
Hi, I bought the pdf and it is amazing. Is there a physical book I can also buy? Would love to have it in my collection :)
Yes, I would also like to get a print version.
According to the company in the KS (@lancer_rpg on twitter) they did have surplus copies, and watch their twitter for information as they figure out how to make them available.
I got this on a bundle on itch.io and i can't find the lancer npc data for comp/con. Any clue where it is or how can i download it?
For the paid/premium version of the core book (which I believe is what was included in the itch.io Racial Justice and Equality bundle), the NPC data is listed alongside the other downloads.
Hi, I just got a physical copy of the main book (bought on backerkit), how can I enable the npc feature in Comp Con? Thank you!
Are you asking about how to put it into Comp/Con or where to find the file?
If it's the latter: For the paid/premium version of the core book, the NPC data is listed alongside the other downloads.
If you don't have the material associated with your itch.io account: I believe that if you got it on BackerKit, you should have received an email with a link to an itch.io page where you could download/access it from.
Is there a difference between the corebook presented here, and the free version?
The core book has all of the information for game runners, with NPC character sheets, advice and rules for running cmpaigns, and extra information about the game's setting to help tell the story.
To play, you'll need the GM to have this book, but the players only need the free book to learn how to play, build their character, and learn enough about the setting to enjoy the game

you art style remindes me of all the cool cartoons when i was younger. niiiiice
If you like Tom's art style, you should also check out Tom's webcomic, "Kill Six Billion Demons": https://killsixbilliondemons.com/
I'm on mac and when I try to open the Lancer NPC data file it says I need an app for that, anyone know what app I need for that?
You need the COMP/CON app, available either as a download or in web browser at compcon.app
AH! I see, thanks!
how does this work? Are thee instructions that I’m not seeing?
The webapp is here: https://compcon.app/
You just go there and click "Content Manager", then click "Install Content" and import the .lcp file.
Thanks. I got it working in my browser.
Glad to hear it!

P.S. The Long Rim is also a great setting!
When I downloaded the core book via Itch.io, it actually download only the NPC JSON data. Is there a way to fix this?
Click on the gear next to the Open/Install button and choose the pdf instead of the JSON data
I could have used this PDF over three years ago when I was doing a mecha game if it existed (it didn't when I ran the campaign).

Honestly, great job.
got it for $5 as part of a 1000+ item $8000 pack, DEFINITELY a steal. Hopefully this will refresh things at my tabletop sessions

Hope this helps
https://www.reddit.com/r/LancerRPG/comments/av5v4e/lancer_18_character_sheet/
There is a printable PDF available in compcon
https://compcon.app/#/print/blank/blank
There's also a character sheet PDF released an hour ago on both the free and paid versions of the Core Book product pages :)
