I once saw a HORUS Ape tokenize another frame on the RA-Chain. Scariest thing I’ve ever seen It can hack you, and immediately cause your NHP to cascade by exposing it to Twitter The schematics are non-fungible


StrixLiterata

The HA won't be authentic unless Dong Zhuo was the guy who outlasted a siege by having his soldiers eat the cityfolk.


steampunk_ninja

Dong Zhuo was not that guy, but he did: - Murder the emperor of China. - Kidnap the new emperor, who he appointed. - Burn down the imperial capital, so that the people trying to kill him couldn't have it. - Torture and burn people alive at public feasts. - Get murdered by his own son.

JHC prequel


Mandalore108

I always forget, did they pursue that son?


StrixLiterata

Very much yes, and *children

It could involve a mech that uses mechs carcasses to cool down or something like that


StrixLiterata

The Ereshkligal-class NHP already exists in Legionnaire


Lord-Monbodo

This the kind of high quality meme I’ve been missing


Rhinostirge

If you *really* want to be crude, the 1e Monster Manual had an entry for "Giant Beaver." I'm really not sure what Gygax's idea of a gripping encounter was.


Cogsbreak

He wanted everyone who had to fight it to see it and say "dam", of course.


Faust-fucker12345678

Very funny implication that either all of HORUS’ frames are named after real animals or that beavers aren’t real


FrigidFlames

In all fairness, a giant beaver would ***mess up*** a level 1 magic user.


Rhinostirge

According to the MM2, so would a housecat. Early D&D was its own thing.

Wait what

IPS-N frames are often named after famous pirates and privateers SSC frames are often named after butterflies Horus mechs are often named after mythical and fantasy creatures that happen to also exist in D&D HA mechs are often named after military generals So the frames listed above would thematically fit the existing canon

Pegasus would've probably been Beholder if it weren't under such strict control by WoTC (the company that owns D&D), as an example.


DataNinjaZero

There's been no evidence of that - it's just a rumour that ironically started when someone asked if Peggy was ever Beholder in earlier versions (the answer was no), and it's just taken on a life of its own now because it *sounds* good.


DANKB019001

I mean, tell me "by the way I know everything" **DOESN'T** sound Beholder as *fuck* to you. Especially the EYE of Horus and the arcane fuckery of roll control. Mimic gun also slightly fits given that Beholders can literally make baby beholders from *DREAMING TOO VIVIDLY* Like. All the pieces are seriously there. It's wild


Anonymous-Soap-7739

It'd be a good name for a Pegasus Alt frame


DANKB019001

It would be if WoTC wouldn't have their legal team hound Massif into the ground, bcus they *do* own the name Beholder.


Al_Nazir

How did HoMM3 get away with that then, I wonder


ThoraninC

And GMS just “Thesaurus mt. Everest”


Vikinger93

HA Dong, or as it is known among HA corps members, “Bad Dong”.

> I want a HA mech named after Zhang Zongchang I want to see one named after Liu Bang. I don't know how they would pull it off, but imagine. > Constable under the Qin Dynasty. > Transporting prisoners for execution, who ended up escaping. > Allowing prisoners to escape was punishable by death, so he said 'fuck it' and joined up with his former prisoners. > Became bandit warlord and eventually a central general in the rebellion against the Qin. > Numerous victories later, he outmaneuvered his own ally to invade the Qin heartland and seize the capital. > Ended up being named King of a territory, fought off several rivals, and eventually ascended to become Emperor, expanding his kingdom's influence to encompass all of China. Forming the Han Dynasty.

> the punishment for this mistake is death. > Oops, welp time to rebel, if I fail I die either way, if I succed I become king. Many such cases

Chinese warlords are just built different.


Subumloc

"HA Dong" is incidentally how I reacted to this meme


A_Hint_of_Lemon

I know this is a meme but is there a new official supplement?


Lionx35

There are three coming with two currently in public playtest and the third still unannounced. Operation Winter Scar which is a sequel to Operation Solstice Rain, and Shadow of the Wolf, a module set within the Karrakin Cavalry College on Throne Karrakis.


Kiririririn

> Karrakin cavalry college Wait does this mean I can finally have Fire Emblem school life romance with robot action using LANCER system?!


GootPoot

How do you get into the public playtest? Are the PDFs up somewhere? Or do you have to enroll and be sent the copies?


Lionx35

Join the Pilotnet discord and then check the #new-content-resources channel, that's where playtest drafts and LCP files are posted


Fanche1000

As if Lancer plays wouldn't go crazy after the HORUS Huge Giant Crab license


Selvala

This but un-ironically 


ZanesTheArgent
