This has become by-far my favorite GM-focused supplement I’ve used for LANCER, and I haven’t even gotten to use some of the featured npc classes yet. Valkyrion really knows how to use the game’s ruleset, and how to flip it on its head in really creative ways (the Anomaly and Brigand templates being an example in particular). Keep up the good work!
Side note: Are there any plans to update the LCP to comp-con 3.0 soon?
Thank you for the kind words; I’m happy to hear you’ve been enjoying Prototype Pattern Groups!
I currently don’t have a timeline for CompCon v3, but the LCP should still function normally on v2. I definitely want to add v3 features eventually, but it will probably be closer to the “final release” of this project. At that point, the dust should have settled, and the new v3 features would be less likely to get in the way of playtest updates.
I hope the remaining NPC classes are just as useful and entertaining as the ones you’ve already tried!
Prototype Pattern Groups is an absolute gas, and the best supplementary bestiary you're going to find for this game. Valk doesn't just add a bunch of new enemies to Lancer, he cuts the engine open like a frog on a laboratory table and dissects with meticulous expertise. The result of that labor: a roster of cutthroat, radical NPCs that shit the dynamic of the game in exciting and, often, terrifying new places. If you're reading this you've probably heard about the Anomaly by now, and yes it's just as horrific as you think
These enemies, combined with a suite of new house rules to streamline the vanilla Lancer experience, makes this supplement a must-buy
hey, I imported the Prototype Pattern Groups lcp file inside Foundry, but I don't see the compendium associated with it, where are these added contents generally supposed to show, do you guys know?
Hello! The different NPC items should be imported into their respective compendiums on Foundry, like those from the Lancer Core Book. Please see the Lancer for Foundry wiki for how to find NPC items and use them to build NPCs.
