Exciting Format!

I heard about this show from Bring Your Own Mech (another lancer podcast by the very great DM Reed!). I think their rotating cast format is a really unique way to tell the full story of the universe while still having the excitement of being introduced to new player characters. I recommend this show a lot and if you’re on the fence you definitely should listen in!

A Suspenseful Sci-Fi Joyride

Reed’s GM chops are superb as they weave dramatic vignettes with a rotating cast. Mix space-mystery intrigue with anime style BIG mech combat, and you have a show that is both legitimately interesting and just totally awesome. You’re going to love this podcast.

Creative, unique, a good time

Reed is a great GM, and the show’s a blast! The sound design is fun and immersive, and it’s cool to hear a Lancer podcast. I started listening with the amnesia arc, which has an amazing hook, and an amazing unique way of character building. Really excited to hear more!
