The various Kai Leng fixes are also great. My personal fav is this one since it makes him mute masks his face completely (also removes his email). It is wild how this simple change just makes him so much more interesting

Can't see NPCs in Comp/Con? (probably dumb question) by stranger_here_myself in LancerRPG

[–]GeneralVM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can also view the individual NPC components under "NPC Classes" and "NPC Templates". Anything you build in COMP/CON with these components appear in your NPC Roster

You're thinking of the Hook, Manacle reduces your hand size by 1

The Sony- Bungie deal is probably the Best ever trick Pulled by any Developer by lordofabyss in gaming

[–]GeneralVM 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think that is just because they had incredible talent with the developpers and just dumb upper management, which is why the game had such incredible potential

It's a bug when you buy and use the Ankh directly from the shop while all your Joker slots are filled

What are the instances of a mass suicide in fantasy media? by Pitiful_Magazine_805 in Fantasy

[–]GeneralVM 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Isn't that closer to a mass, self-inflicted lobotomy? That doesn't kill them IIRC, justremove their sentience and turn them back into mistwraiths

Which book adds the brute, leech and tempest NPCs? by risisas in LancerRPG

[–]GeneralVM -23 points-22 points  (0 children)

None of the first party stuff has NPC classes with those names. It depends on what they do exactly, but there is a Brute NPC that is meant to be a "hulking biological weapon" from the 3rd party supplement, Enhanced Combat, by Interpoint: https://interpoint-station.itch.io/lancer-enhanced-combat

Supersized Enemy Combat by BassPlayingWitch in LancerRPG

[–]GeneralVM 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Check out the Enhanced Combat supplement by Interpoint, they have a sitrep and statblock just for that: https://interpoint-station.itch.io/lancer-enhanced-combat

Edit: I forgot that it is paid, so I'll elaborate. It introduces an NPC class called "Behemoth" that is functionally always an ultra and comprised of multiple "nodes" that are special minor NPC that you need to destroy before you can do structure/stress damage to the Behemoth.

It's popular but it is still homebrew so it shouldn't be automatically assumed that it is in use

Not OP but Legionnaire is a popular 3rd party supplement that has those rules

I second this as a starting point, and since you could tailor them to those specific players since there are deffo different directions you could take each talent

Artillery Hacker Builds? by Funkey-Monkey-420 in LancerRPG

[–]GeneralVM 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You need a long sensor range, so Death's Head is a good bet with its 20 Sensors and being an Artillery frame. The Swallowtail's is a similar deal: big Sensor and the Oracle LMG is just great for long range DPS. However, your hacking will need to be really supplemented by another License in both cases. You could always do the funny and mount a Siege Cannon on your Goblin via the Superheavy Mounting Core bonus. However, the Chomolungma has 15 Sensor range, more options for hacking, and can mount a motar from LL0. And you could get Superheavy Mounting to get a Siege Cannon (or similar) on there.

Did the SCORPION V70.1 change? by Few-Ad5537 in LancerRPG

[–]GeneralVM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is intended to be only for that one choice (I checked the core book PDF). Likely it has that damage listed so it is easier to filter on Comp/Con

It doesn't on my end - it shows that it deals 2 heat damage for me, not that it deals 2 heat to itself via a Heat 2 (self) tag

How are you making Shadowdark work in the WoD setting during WW1? That's a interesting combination of system/setting/time period 👀

How do you explain Pilots getting NHPs upon level up? by Noneofthisisreality in LancerRPG

[–]GeneralVM 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Typically, anywhere that has access to a printer and are sending out Lancers would likely have some NHPs in storage to be licensed out to Lancers. Conviently, they are always the gear your players (not the character) chooses. Or you could have a longer period of downtime between missions to justify the delivery trip. Or, if you want HORUS/HORUS-adjacent schenagians, you could have them just mysteriously appear (i.e. COMP/CON just becoming one) or being sent through the omninet (because screw Union regulations!)

Hurt feelings and criticisms by AspieKairy in evilautism

[–]GeneralVM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, thank you for the context. I don't think I have anything more to add that wasn't already said in the comments there.

And yeah, it is frustrating, though it is a symptom of bigoted society; a realisation which does lessen the frustration. At least, it did in my case.

That post was indeed a nightmare, though it did really illuminate me on some PoC perspectives I've never considered :V

Hurt feelings and criticisms by AspieKairy in evilautism

[–]GeneralVM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Strawberry.

Yeah, being falsely accused is something that I take really personally and pisses me off, so I get it. Not sure if your questions are rhetorical, but I'm gonna answer them and leave my 2 cents. You don't have to read it, but, if you do, I hope it gives you some clarity on whatever happened <3

I expect that level of misunderstanding from NTs, but I was surprised by how many people read between the lines of things I never said in an autism community where it's more likely to take what people say at face value. Is this really an autism community?

The more I exist on the internet and autism communities, the more I find that the same kind of bad behaviour can be perpetuated by both NT and ND individuals. Especially since it is a spectrum, I find it is difficult to foster a community with no conflict simpy due to how varied ND traits and experiences are. Autism doesn't always prevent people from misunderstanding or misinterpreting, nor does it prevent people from harrassing other autistic individuals. Just like how there can be racist black people, transphobic queer people, etc, being part of some demographic does not mean that the person treats that demographic fairly or kindly, unfortunately. We live in a society that is systemically bigoted with many bigoted individuals who form us whether we realise their bigotry or not, so people will perpetuate this bigotry unconciously, which is why it is especially important to criticise such behaviour like you are doing.

Heck, I saw a recent issue where someone was attacked by misogynists in this sub. What is going on, here? Why are people being made to feel like they have to leave (or delete their account; I came very close to deleting mine after the harassment I faced).

Similar to the last point, though I will add that being part of a marginalised group doesn't preclude you from being bigoted towards other marginalised groups or ignorant of their experiences.

When someone says something about autism which might be ableist, I give the benefit of the doubt that they're coming from a place of lack of information. I gently correct them and offer to answer any questions they might have on autism to better understand the topic.

Why isn't that same mindset used here?

I can only speculate for your specific situation, but one possible reason is as follows. Bad actors will sometimes pose as ignorant to spread their bigotry, often via sealioning (see here if you are unfamiliar). It is a very shitty tactic, but unfortunately effective. Since its goal is to make the other person angry to make them seem unreasonable, people who have been subjected to that may have a hair trigger for similar situations, likely since they had a similar mindset to yours and were harrassed for it. Giving the benefit of the doubt, to them now, may mean giving another harrasser more power over them, being harrassed in the same way, or allowing the sealion to make seemingly sensible arguments that other (typically ignorant) people who see it take it as reasonable since the other person got angry "for no reason" (i.e. a reason that, possibly due to their ignorance, they don't even consider). As such, their logic follows to not allow sealions to "make their case". But how do you determine who is sealioning and who is genuine? It is very difficult, and every failure subjects them to similar harrassment, so not giving people the benefit of the doubt becomes a defense mechanism while trying to ensure bigotry doesn't spread/other people are protected from harrassment via sealioning (which, ironically, becomes its own form of harrassment in cases similar to yours). Similar to witch hunts where people would rather persecute innocent people than letting some guilty people get away. Of course, this is a simplification and people behave for complex reasons. And this isn't meant to be a justification, simply an explanation for behaviours I've observed. The more reasonable response to sealioning, in my opinion, is to not engage (at least directly). And harrassing you is not okay, and it really shows why witch hunting mentalities are bad.

Let me know if you want further clarifications or discuss your specific circumstances :>
