Hello LANCER community,

I'm back with another Lancer jam! There were some very good feedback from the last one, which I have tried to implement.

This is another low-stakes game jam to make something cool for LANCER RPG. I wanted to organize this because I know our community has so many people with cool ideas, and are just waiting for the right moment to put the pen to the paper. Well, this is the chance!

We've done a oneshot last time, and many people asked for more time and to be able to create something bigger. Well, now you get two months to create whatever you want! It can be a oneshot again, it can be a mission, it can be a setting guide, it can be new licenses, alt frames, or exotics! The jam is intentionally very freeform--even more so than last time. You can use squares or hexes. You can work alone or in a team of any size! (It might be difficult to coordinate a larger team, so I do recommend having a smaller team size.) You can build upon an old idea you had, or start from scratch.

Join us on Pilot NET Discord! This is also the best place to reach me if you have any questions.

(This is a working document. There won't be major changes to the event, but there may be some tips or new information that gets added here.)

Theme

There are two themes for this Jam. One is chosen by me, the host! And the other is chosen by the community. The poll will go up before the event.

Host's Theme is: Second

This can mean:

• Continuation of an existing story.
• "Act 2" of an unwritten story.
• A very brief moment in time.
• Something that was destroyed that returns.
• A motion or proposal in need of support.
• Someone who hold a relatively unimportant position.
• ...

Community's Theme is: Impact

Submission Requirements

1. Must follow the Lancer Third Party License. (It's a very generous license and easy to read!)
2. Must include a pdf file. You may include other formats as well, if desired.
3. Must be playable without purchasing anything, with the exception of LANCER Core Rule Book.
   • You may include contents from paid publications, but you should include alternatives to allow people to play without those publications.
4. Final submission should credit appropriate people. This includes, but is not limited to: artists, writers, testers, and third party assets.
   • If using external assets, make sure that you're allowed to use them! Check their licenses, and if it doesn't exist, get explicit permission, or find alternative sources.

Other Considerations

Please DO:

• Feel free to collaborate with others!
• Feel free to have your own style! You don't have to follow the style used by other publications.
• Try to keep your scope limited! You can always work on more stuff after the jam.
• Include a content warning if your creation deals with heavy themes.
• if you're using other people's works, ensure you're allowed to do so. If you make it a paid project, there may be additional limitations.
• Take care of yourself while participating.

Please DO NOT:

• Submit something that doesn't relate to this jam. (We got a bunch of those last time)
• Create content that directs hate towards protected groups. (This is also part of the Lancer Third Party License)
• Use content created by Generative AI, such as images or writing.
• Disparage works made by other creators.
  
• Sacrifice personal well being in order to complete this project.
