Coldcore Coliseum

The speartip flashes. Chaff scatters into glittering sparks as missiles skitter and careen. The roar of a coldcore at its limit is only matched by the roar of the crowd screaming their souls into the arena, carried by a thousand handfuls of thrown petals and whipping banners as the victor finally stands still, triumphant. The cheering becomes a chanting crescendo as the cockpit hisses and slides open with a crack: “Lan! Cer! LAN! CER! LAN! CER! LAN! CER! LAN-”

COLDCORE COLISEUM is a homebrew supplement for Lancer, the mech RPG by Miguel Lopez and Tom Bloom. Centered on official tournaments and combat sports, COLDCORE COLISEUM invites you to explore Lancer's setting through a new lens, while still staying true to its themes of the utopia-in-progress, the struggle against inequality and division, and the human spirit that is magnified by mechs in its mud-and-lasers setting. It contains:

•  4 new player mechs and 2 alt-frames from Khargan/Kasimir Custom Assembly, a bespoke mech crafthouse from the Karrakin Trade Baronies House of Glass. Co-founded by  Khargan Assayid and Kasimir Coryat - once-duelists, now partners - K/KCA blends traditional Karrakin martial techniques with avant-garde design styles to create bold unique machines for each pilot that emphasize skill, coordination, and high chivalry.
• New mechanics for GMs and players to represent the arena and its surrounding characters like specialty combat restrictions and tracking favor with a sponsor.
• 5 ICONIC NPCs; unique enemy mechs that always have multiple structure either as an Elite setpiece, or upgraded to an ICONIC Ultra raid-boss to create memorable combat encounters.
