The year is 1999.

Cell phones are starting to become common, DVD is phasing out VHS, Star Wars is relevant again for the first time since the 80s, and a small group of people got an email.

I know that you feel like something is wrong with the world. You feel like you've been dreaming your whole life, and that there's something that you aren't letting yourself known. You feel like you've forgotten something important.

I know why you feel this way.

Unfortunately, this message would be detected if I actually spelled it out for you, but I can tell you a few things safely:

- You have been lied to every moment of your life about the nature of reality
- There is less than a month left before the end of your world
- I can't help you because I died in the 30th century
- You are the only people who can save the Earth

Which is a ridiculous thing to say in an email, right? It's probably just some weird spam. You reach for the delete button, but hesitate on actually clicking it.

The thing is, you HAVE felt like something is wrong. For as long as you can remember, you've had a nagging feeling that the world you grew up in is a lie, even if you can't put your finger on why. You've done your best to live a life in spite of this, but as you grew up it grew harder and harder.

So after staring at your computer for twenty minutes, you clicked the link.

A dizzying array of images immediately assaulted your senses. Memetic graphics that altered your brain chemistry just to look at, stabbing into your mind and reprogramming you as easily as if you were a computer yourself.

You blacked out.

And when you came to, the world looked slightly different...



Sentinel: Project Lancer is, as the name might imply, a Lancer RPG campaign inspired by The Matrix and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. It will be played on Roll20.net in weekly sessions that will probably run 2-3 hours. I also plan to make use of the new Bonds mechanics introduced in the Karrakin Field Guide expansion. Expect lots of classic sci-fi references, giant robot battles, weird philosophy about the nature of reality, and sick kung-fu gun fights. Don't worry about having a lot of experience with Lancer specifically or Table top in general. I will match the complexity and difficulty of the game to the experience levels of my players. For now, just reply to this post if this sounds like something you'd be interested in, either as a player or as a member of the plotting clique shadowy cabal that secretly rules the world. Please share any world building questions, character concepts, and also a picture of your second favorite giant robot.
