lance reddick is missed by so many, but i can’t help but think of how special he truly was to the destiny community. so many of us have heard his voice nearly every day for the last decade. i think of how everyone came together that day and in the days after. every single tower i entered that day was full, and everyone was paying tribute to their commander.

i think of how he was stuck on the last mission of lightfall, and how someone looked up his last equipped loadout and recreated it exactly on their own character to finish the mission for him. it really was a collective process of grieving the fact the someone who had been with us from day one wouldn’t be there to see the story to its end. that being said, i think the decision to cast keith david was absolutely the best thing that could be done in a truly heartbreaking and difficult situation. i think he will do a fantastic job and i’m glad that bungie is keeping all of lance’s original lines in-game. it still gets me sometimes when i queue into strikes and hear his voice.

the destiny community loved lance, and lance loved the destiny community. per audacia ad astra, rest in peace commander.

i really wonder what Julius Caesar would think of a bunch of neurodivergent rats huddled in a circle chanting ides of march ides of march ides of march and then cheering loudly on the 2067th anniversary of his assassination?

like would he cry?

running my first lancer campaign any tips from The lancer werewolf?

Remember, above all, that you are attempting to give your players a good time, and challenge them only as much as they wish to be challenged. You are not here to win battles against them. You are here to make winning fun for them.

Enemies always have access to Lock On and Invade, regardless of their class. NPC Invade only inflicts Impaired and 2 Heat, but Impaired can be devastating if a player relies on accuracy, and they're already at Heat Cap...

If you have a player that's always zipping and zooping about using mobility tools, the Barricade has a gun that automatically Slows on hit.

The Archer has an optional called Impending Threat that can be triggered in response to any action a player takes other than standard movement. It forces the player to either abandon the action or let the Archer attack them as a reaction. The Archer gets +1 Accuracy on all reaction attacks.

Players with high Armor can be intimidating, but remember they're Armor is most useful against repeated small amounts of chip damage, but not to concentrated bursts of alpha strike damage.

Find synergies between NPC classes. For instance: the Seeder can lay mines that a Rainmaker can blap players into with Knockback.

Out of combat:

Your players will appreciate a cast of unique and interesting characters who they can interact with. In my experience, Lancer players like to feel like they're fighting to defend something concrete and tangible. Sure, it's great to fight for world liberation or to end a tyrannical regime, but those are huge, nebulous concepts. However, if you threaten Mama Patalung, the nice old lady who runs their favourite noodle stand and gives them extra jalapeno in their pho, they will tear down the heavens to rescue her.

Have interesting locales they can hang out when they're not in mechs. Curious players will appreciate being able to poke around and investigate things out about your setting.

If a PC has a cool idea that doesn't quite fit with the setting, say yes anyway and try to make it work. Some of the best experiences I've ever had as a GM were spurred by my players' creativity.

Hope this helps.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

This fake yarn is supposedly better for sheep.

Aimed at people who don’t know where wool comes from, it’s 100% plastic. Yes, plastic.

So any garment you wash will release microfibres into the sea. It’ll never decompose.

You’re supposed to believe that sheep shearing is violent and cruel. There are imbeciles out there that work in an unprofessional manner while shearing, but that’s not the case overall.

Sheep don’t suffer from having their fleece removed.

Left on, the fleece can become a home for fly eggs and the subsequent maggots which can eat the sheep. Chemical treatments are available to prevent that happening. It’s much better for the sheep, the land and the farmer to avoid chemical use.

Don’t be fooled. Wool is a sustainable material, one we should make more and better use of.

Suzanne collins wrote a trilogy where a main media propaganda strategy was to market a horrific act of violence as a love story to distract ppl and then it got adapted into a box office breaking movie and ppl made it all about the love triangle. so then since they didn’t get the point the first time Suzanne collins wrote a prequel story about the main dictator and she makes it so that you as a reader want it to be a genuine love story so badly even tho it’s so very clearly not and instead feels extremely unsettling to make her point even more meta which then gets adapted into another box office breaking film and now ppl are making romantic snowbaird tik toks. do u think she’s gonna write another book that’s somehow even more blatant or just give up and start executing ppl? hard to say but I wouldn’t blame her for the second one
