Thanks for the adventure, love the layout and the vibes, has fantastic production.

I do have a few questions, if you don't mind though:  When the players get their mechs at the beginning, there isn't really a guidance for what that looks like.  Are they designing their own LL0 mechs as normal (Access to all normal options) or is it intended to be limited in some way due to being in this mining camp?  I had assumed the players might need to be using the Printer in the Supply Depot to make "reserves" in the form of weapons for the mechs they'll be piloting, but that might be wrong?

The second question is more of a suggestion related to the Reserves, in the section of the adventure where it mentioned gaining reserves, I feel like it would have been nice to give a curated list of suggested gains, rather than just the open concept of Reserves (pg 51).  I am going to work out more specifics as to what they might be getting by earning reserves, because I don't think players will be making too much use of an Orbital Drop, or CORE Battery.

Hello, glad the adventure resonates with you! To answer your questions:

  1. For acquiring mechs, the intent is that the players design their mechs ahead of time as part of character creation. Then, when they print their mechs in-fiction, they’re simply the same mechs as the players designed. Whether this is because the characters customized the mechs themselves or because the UIB print codes are just perfectly tailored for them is up to the table.

  2. A curated list of reserves could be useful! When I ran a playtest of the adventure, I cherry-picked reserves from the Lancer Core Book that seemed to fit the moment of the narrative. So, I simply didn’t pick reserves that didn’t make much sense in-fiction (like Orbital Drop as-written, though it could maybe be refluffed). I’ll keep a suggested list in mind for a future revision; for the time being, my best recommendation is to pick what feels right in the moment.

Thank you for taking the time to comment, and I hope you and your table enjoy the adventure!
