THE FIELD GUIDE TO ODEON

Written by Hookedsteward & Konigstein, coding by Hookedsteward & Duvalasur. Art by Moiderah, Theotime, Rota, Akklonia & Konigstein.

Odeon is the Planet of Storytellers. Whoever holds sway there can dominate the stories, the memories, the collective culture of all of Union. Of all Humanity.

In the sealed vaults and tunnels beneath the Great Amphitheatres, a shadow war is being fought by two great media conglomerates, and the military companies they choose as their tools. Will you sacrifice everything in service of victory with the Pallbearers? Or sell your song and soul to Apsara Zaibatsu?

Suit up, Lancer. There are stories to be told.


The Field Guide to Odeon is a very much work-in-progress expansion for the Lancer TTRPG. It will grow as we (Hookedsteward & Konigstein) keep writing and playtesting it, but at the moment it contains...

  • Two new Corporations with full Core Bonuses and a full lineup of Mechs. Discover the ultra-pragmatic warrior frames of the Pallbearers and the showy performance mechs of Apsara.
  • New mechs from the Big Five: Duel barehanded in the GMS Stetind or bathe in the radioactive warmth of the Harrison Armory Mendel, and more.
  • New Talents, with more to come! Dance through the danger as a Performer, or hurl yourself into the fray as the gruesome Raider.
  • New NPCs and Templates, from the nimble Jäger to the bass-boosting Amplifier.
  • New Pilot Gear for both the Pallbearers and the Zaibatsu. Light up the room with an Ostenflage suit, or escape the daily grind with a Cerebral Ejection System.
  • The Band Generator: Want to create a wacky group of musical misfits? This huge d20 table lets you rapidly generate weird and unusual band concepts.

And best of all it's thoroughly playtested, with fully-functional .lcp files included!

Great field guide, great update. I personally prefer the 2 old systems for the Dakhma, but I can imagine how they could be abused. Keep up the good work!

Real fun times all around with this pack~ Been part of the playtesters for a while now and it’s been wonderful to see the progress made here since I first used it! There’s probably a few more things to iron out (or typos to fix lol), but for a lot of this stuff? I love what I’ve played with.
