Dawn Over Eden

Dawn over Eden is a third party one shot for the Lancer TTRPG system. It takes place on Varisca, a planet beyond the edges of the colonized Diaspora where Union plans to build a new Blinkgate.

The players are Lancers tasked with protecting a team of researchers sent to evaluate the planet's environmental conditions and mineral resources, who are pushed into action after the surveyors discover the wreck of a massive colony ship and awaken an old terraforming system.

In order to stop the malfunctioning Terraformer before it turns Varisca into a barren wasteland, the players will have to explore the ruins of the ship, discovering the fate of its inhabitants while loooking for a way to turn off the machine.

Dawn over Eden is meant to be played by 3-5 players using LL2 characters. It can be played on its own but also includes hooks that can be used to make it a starting point for a campaign or a new narrative arc inside one.

This one shot includes:

• The module describing the plot and encounters, containing:
  • An exploration phase handled with a point crawl system
  • An extended skill challenge to reach the heart of a storm
  • A lethal combat encounter 
  • An epilogue in which the players may influence the fate of the planet
• A battlemap for the one-shot's combat encounter
• An LCP file for a new NPC template: the Node, an autonomous unit created to operate in a coordinated network. Weak on their own or when desynchronized from their allies, but highly specialized.
