I am running a Robotech game set between the first and second Robotech wars.

A BTS-2 game set at a college campus.

DocTom

Thanks

DocTom

I am working out my travel plans and need to know what time the doors open for VIP Thursday.
Does anyone know?

DocTom

Cool stuff Glitterboy, I look forward to your progress.

DocTom

I believe the first license expired after 20 years and there was not much interest in Robotech at the time. There were not even DVDs for Robotech at the time.

DocTom

It took me a long time to realize there was a longer verision of Return of the Masters. That was one of my favorite Robotech Books.

DocTom

This is the final weekend of Robotech sales by Palladium Books. This happened once before. My first ever RPG book was Invid Invasion, so I have been a Palladium fan for a great many years. Do any of you remember when Palladium lost the Robotech license last time? Was it 1998? We're these forums even...

DocTom

Wow, they have nearly sold out of every Robotech RPG book!

DocTom

DocTom

Alpha 11, did they contact you about your exchange? They finally got back to me about my exchange.

DocTom

Cool, thanks Jamz

DocTom

I agree that the inconsistent layout of the books is an issue. It makes it hard to find SDC, I agree.

DocTom

What do you like the least about character creation?

DocTom

I actually see this as a chance to fix what we don't like about the game. I think it would be cool to have some short fan made supplements

DocTom

Lancer is great!
The back ground music is great!
We wanted the first two episodes of the new generation.

DocTom

I watched two episodes with my kids this morning. It is on Netflix.
The music is great, well maybe not the singing.

DocTom

If there was an auction I would bid on the remaining stock and show up with truck and haul it away.

DocTom

That makes sense

DocTom

I heard that all the Robotech stock will have to be liquidated.
I expect there will be a sale soon on the web site, but after that is done do you think the remaining unsold stock will be auctioned off or just sent to a landfill?

I want to hype up the Robotech Defenders game I am running at the Palladium Open House. Brief Game Description: The first Robotech war is over, the Zentraedi Armada is defeated, and the earth is safe. You and your team are test pilots at the Robotech Defender Inc. proving grounds. The United Earth G...

Sadness

DocTom

I love the Palladium open houses, and would go to one every year if they were offered.

DocTom

I think you should be able to use a simultaneous attack anytime that you are in one on one hand to hand combat and you are about to take damage. I don't think that it should be allowed in ranged combat. I think that the original attacker should also be allowed to respond to the attack with a party o...

DocTom

I like your opinion.

DocTom

Here's how I feel it can be abused. In a battle with 4 Cyclones vs two Invid shock troopers. The four Cyclones all have initiative before the Invid due to the die rolls. The first cyclone fires at the Invid. The Invid takes damage and simultaneously fires back. It has now jumped out of initiative or...

DocTom

A rules question came up tonight in our Online Robotech campaign.

Is the rule "Simultaneous attack" only for hand to hand combat, or can it be used in ranged combat.

I'll asked some follow up questions based on the answers I get.

DocTom

I have been doing more Palladium gaming the last three months than in the past decade. This has been primarily thanks to a Robotech RPG that a Facebook friend is running on Discord. Our campaign has been going on for 3 months. The GM and three active players post nearly every day. Three more less ac...

This last weekend I was at Running GAGG at the university in Geneseo. I ran After the Bomb for 12 players ranging in age from 5 to 42. It went great. Robotech Tactics Demo Game, we had 6 people play, it also went great. Finally I used Rifts rules to run a GUNDAM game using Gunpla models. It worked v...

DocTom

I don't think I got a response from an attempt to email Wayne. Rifter 5 was a long time ago. I heard that HG would not permit fan produced material to be published in the Rifter anymore

DocTom

Sure, why shouldn't it transform!

DocTom

OK, I will try that.

DocTom

Are we able to submit Robotech article for the Rifter like in the olden days? Hmm... I don't know if this is accurate, but I vaguely recall someone mentioning that Robotech material was not being accepted for the Rifter at Harmony Gold's request. That's what I recall too, but that was years ago whe...

DocTom

DocTom

I hand thought of that, but it is a good idea. Keeps the idea of Robotech being more than just the sum of its parts.

DocTom

What was it that people did not like about the last sourcebook?

DocTom

Kevin asked what new Robotech books we would like to see: I would like to buy a new Robotech rule book. I have been working on a Macross Saga game for a convention, and it is hard to build Macross Characters because it takes the Shadow Chronicles Rule Book and the Macross Saga book (Too juch flippin...

DocTom

Hi folks, I am looking for MA advice. The coming 5 months has a series of 3-4 Gaming/Fan conventions at colleges in Western NY. The first one is Running GAGG in Geneseo NY the last weekend in January. I plan on running Palladium games at all these conventions. Probably a Robotech RPG tactics demo an...

DocTom

I'd say it was Zor's fault. The genius of the Robotech is how it all links back to Zor.

DocTom

That's too bad, seems like the stock and preorders should be open to all who want to pay for them.

DocTom

Yes for the Cats Eye, I made my own version of a Cats Eye, but would like to see a real mini.

DocTom

I was happy today to place orders for some new RRT minis. I went for Commancheros, Grell's Male Power Armor and Bretai. There's never been a Male Power Armor mini, and to get it in scale with the VTs, battle pods etc, is super. Made in America too. I hope lots of the rest of us buy these new offerin...

DocTom

Cool, that helps.

DocTom

I need some help from the hive mind. What if anything do we know about Ghost Squadron. I think most od the info is in the McKinney Novels and the Sentinels comics, but is there anything one what Ghost was doing during the First Robotech war?

DocTom

Do you need some premade character sheets for the Invid War? I have a bunch made and could send you word files.

DocTom

Safely back in Livonia, NY, and in the office doing work.

DocTom

Wow, did I have fun at the Open House. I wanted to post to give my sincere thanks to Palladium for hosting this event and for all the employees and volunteers that made it possible.

DocTom

I just ran a Robotech game at the Running GAGG gaming convention in Geneseo, NY. The players loved and said the game was "Surprisingly fun!" The title was "First Contact," but probably should have been "Blind Game." We started playing Robotech RPG Tactics, the players h...

DocTom

I love the minis. They paint up so well.
