Anyone notice there are no updates about Ghost Fleet or Robotech in general in the weekly updates for a few months now?

MikeM

That sounds great. Thank you so much for an update (Really should be added to a weekly update). It also sounds like Ghost Fleet is what is going to replace The Sentinels (as they were the ones going around liberating Invid infested planets before). Looking forward to seeing the book. Is there a targ...

MikeM

That's too bad. I was hoping for some rpg books. Don't really have any interest in the minis game.

MikeM

I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I am confused about the Ghost Fleet book. In the weekly newsletters, sometimes the book seems to be for Robotech Tactics and other for the actual RPG. Does anyone know definitively? Anyone know if there are any actual Robotech RPG (not Tactics) book...

MikeM

VF-1 ground attack with mini's and bombs. I'm okay with this. The GU-11 is also a proper tank shredder. Did they take out the rule about "evasive maneuvers" from the pilot skill? It let you dodge large and even multiple volleys of missiles so long as you gave up your entire melee round fo...

MikeM

I am thinking of running a Robotech campaign, but I have not run a Palladium game in at least 10 years so I am of course brushing up on the rules. So first off I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else and I'm sure it has, but my search option on these forums doesn't seem to allow me to se...

MikeM

Thanks for the responses folks. Greatly appreciate it.

Hello yes, I have all the Heroes Unlimited books (Powers Unlimited 1 to 3, Mutant Underground, Armageddon Unlimited, Century Station, Gramercy Island, GM's Guide, and the Aliens Unlimited book. Now my Aliens Unlimited books doesn't say revised on it. It was the first printing when it first came out....

MikeM

So my mother-in-law wants to buy me something fun for Christmas this year and my wife suggested the X-Mas Grab Bag! (I have an awesome wife). I love Heroes Unlimited even though I have been out of the game for quite a few years. I would like to load my wish list with a lot of HU stuff, but I have al...

MikeM

I have not purchased a Rifts book in over a decade. (I do buy Robotech and HU)
I WILL be picking up Savage Rifts. I am so looking forward to this!

MikeM

Jan 30, 2015 - I expect to start (?) assigning artwork by end of next week. I want this book out in March. April the latest.

Only 2 weeks left and I doubt we will see it come out this month. It looks like Kevin dropped it to behind the Chaos Earth book now.

MikeM

One of the things I hear (and I'm sure you do too) on other message boards is that Palladium books look dated. I personally don't mind. BUT have you seen the RPG Tactics rulebook? That looks awesome I would kill for some RPG rule books that looked like that. Glossy paper and full cover. Damn, that w...

MikeM

I went through all the Palladium updates since Jan 2013. If there is no mention of the Marines book, I did not include it. Jan 25, 2013 - Should have the finished manuscript anytime now. Want it in your hands by Spring 2013 Feb 7, 2013 - Book is almost done Mar 7, 2013 - Summer release - lined up a ...

You are probably right. It's just so frustrating seeing the release date get pushed back constantly.

MikeM

From what I understand, Marker submitted his manuscript and then was let go. Now Jackson is taking a run at it. But even back in March last year it stated that Jackson was writing it so that can't be the delay this time. I know it was delayed a while back, but for most of 2014, Kev was saying it wa...

MikeM

So the Marines sourcebook has been pushed back until March? (Probably later)

I thought it was supposed to be a 2014 release.

MikeM

Been a huge fan of HU since the mid 90's. Heroes Unlimited Revised is probably one of my favourite games. I don't care what other folks say. I love it. Last year, I bought another copy of Revised from Palladium's online store, just so I had a pristine copy. I know, I have 3 copies of 2nd edition too...

MikeM

Oh man. My friends and I played the heck out of Heroes Unlimited in my college days. (I feel so old now) One of my favourite games involved a Captain America kind of character named Justice, a child in a demon's body (super strong and tough) named Tantrum (Justice was his foster father), a spawn rip...

MikeM

It would be cool if Palladium could get the rights to do a TMNT game again.
The property is still around. Comics, toys, TV show, clothes and a new movie coming out.
However, now that Nickelodeon owns the TMNT, I'm guessing that getting a license to make the RPG would be cost prohibitive.

MikeM

Yeah, I read the email and I went straight to the laptop to order it. I must have been at the right place at the right time.

MikeM

I have 16

I literally jumped online and pre-ordered it when I heard about the offer.

MikeM

I pre-ordered my copy back in early-mid January or there abouts.

I have a well read/used copy of the softcover as well as a pristine copy I got from the Christmas Bag back in 2012. The HC will look nice next to them.

Yeah, I may have a problem.

MikeM

Hi guys,

We are playing Rifts and one of the players is making a Shifter. It lists a bunch of spells that he can pick from. Energy Sphere, Dimensional Teleport and Sheltering Force are listed, but arent described anywhere in the book. Am I missing something? Why aren't those spells listed?

Thanks,

MikeM

Thats awesome Sgt. Anjay. Thank you. I thought the term Robotech Defense Force etc was retconned out. Using it as nicknames/slang is fine with me.

MikeM

Rabid Southern Cross Fan is correct.
Personally I never stopped using RDF/REF anyway, just wished it used that term in the Palladium books too.

MikeM

I'm watching Robotech: Love Live Alive and they constantly say Robotech Defense Force and Robotech Expeditionary Force. I prefer it to United Earth Defense Force and United Earth Expeditionary Force. So, my question is why do the Palladium books say UEDF and UEEF? Is this something HG mandated but t...

MikeM

The comic is being published by Dynamite who got the rights to Robotech and Voltron. Both companies agreed to the crossover and its being written by Tommy Yune. Its just a mini series. I personally am looking forward to it because it can't be any worst than some of the Robotech comics we have had in...

MikeM

I was looking through the Palladium store and found that they are still selling the first edition, revised book. I have my original beat up copy that I used through all my college years in the 90's and afterwards. It just came in on Friday and it looks great. Flipping through it brought back a lot o...

MikeM

I don't believe I forgot Nova and Namorita (I was a big New Warriors fan) The Richard Rider version anyway. When he joined the New Warriors he was their strong guy, and got a power life during the Annihilation story arcs. Course, he's dead now. Don't know if Sam has the same strength augmentation

MikeM

Wow. Some of these guys are strong, but strongest? Not even close.
Wendigo, Doc Samson? Luke Cage? These guys are strong, but not the same level as Hulk, Thor, etc.

Oh...is this kind of thing allowed on Palladium's message boards? I don't want to break any rules.

MikeM

Anybody going to this:

It's only an hour away from the Palladium offices

MikeM

Oh and just for the record, I own Shadow Chronicles and everything that comes out for Robotech. I love the property! I just want it to be hugely popular again. I'm willing to get the new director a shot is all I'm saying. Mind you, it took 5 years to get this guy as a director. In another 5 we may s...

MikeM

Not I. I found Shadow Chronicles was a disappointment. I found the story was weak and the CGI portions where horrible. If they are going to make a sequel I hope its better than their first attempt. A GOOD live action movie is what Robotech needs to get interest in the property going again. Even if w...

MikeM

Good point on the distribution though. I totally agree.

MikeM

What magic trick? I don't understand what you mean.

Both the pathfinder and star wars intro box sets seem to be doing well, and doesn't stop them from people getting into the actual games...well Pathfinder anyway. The Star Wars 'advanced' game hasn't come out yet.

MikeM

I LOVE this idea. I would totally buy it. Hell, I would be several and give them away to my young cousins who are just getting into roleplaying games as birthday and christmas presents.

MikeM

Hi again all, 1. I noticed that it states that the page count is 96-128 pages. That means that most likely there will be the generic version and a expanded version. (Like Robotech Return of the Masters and the Shadow Chronicles book) I am UNINTERESTED in buying the bare bones issue. Does anyone kno...

MikeM

so uhhh... akashic, no offense but... at that scale, i believe the SDF-1 would be about 12.5 feet long, according to my 4th printing robotech book (mind you, it only has very vague stats in general). if they did make it, i can't imagine how they would sell it. and if they did sell it, i have my dou...

MikeM

There is only one version.
It's 112 pages btw.

MikeM

That is awesome!

MikeM

I will be buying it. I probably won't play it because I'm not a fan of games like warhammer, battletech, etc. But its Robotech and I must own it.

MikeM

I can't paint worth a damn. I would love them to be pre-painted so I can display them. If they aren't painted, they will just go on a shelf and stay in the packaging.

Yeah, I'm buying them either way. I try to buy anything Robotech. I have a wall of Robotech in my home office.

MikeM

That's great, because I admit I hate the way the books look on my shelf. agrees. I hope PB makes a production of it when they do have the print runs in the correct size, cause I'd like to get those books into my shelves. The manga sized one just get stacked somewhere and hard to find later. When th...

I'm sorry if this has been discussed, and I bet it has, but I couldn't find it. Will the Shadow Chronicles, Macross and Masters books be re-released as full size when current stock runs out? I know there are 2 full size hardcover books for Shadow Chronicles already, but I am referring to the full si...

We just always made up names.

I think our favourite was Banshee Squadron.

First off, I played a lot of HU back in the day, but it was all revised. I never really got to play 2nd edition. So I got the twitch to run some Heroes Unlimited and started reading second edition. I was reading the section on strength when I realised that extraordinary PS and superhuman strength ar...
