Yes that has been my experience in the past. Now however, according to what the store person said. The distributor is acting like they do not want to move just one book ( Monsters and Animals 2nd edition). I don't know if the store will order directly from Palladium, I will ask next time I am in.

Robroy

I am just a player and fan. I will probably just buy from Palladium 's web store. It is just for the shipping and handling I can almost buy another book. That is why prefer to order books from my local shop.

I was just curious if other player were having trouble getting books in their stores.

Robroy

I tried ordering PFRPG Monsters and Animals 2nd edition but the distributor is out of it. As well as the new Yin Sloth Jungles. Then I asked about the After the Bomb hardcover and the store employee said the distributor had it. But now what normally took one week is going on three. Anyone else havin...

Okay. So the description of Alter Aura indicates that it only effects your aura and those that can see them. The spell Sense Evil only gets a save if using Alter Aura. Both spell and psionic Sense Evil only detect evil if a human is immediately evil intentions. Or Diabolic by spell. Maybe it would w...

In Rifts Ultimate Edition first printing, pg. 166 Alter Aura description says "Alterations include: Conceal one's true alignment and cover it with a false one (any)." Yet on pg. 175 See Aura description says "Note: A psychic can not tell one's alignment by using this power." The ...

It may be in the Rifter. Unfortunately I will not be able to get to them until the weekend.

Thanks everyone for looking.

Robroy

No I am not sure of the name, and no Wings of the Gargoyle and Wings of the Demon Locust was not it. I could have sworn it described the wings as looking like a night sky which made them hard to see in space. I was thinking it was in one of the Phase World / Three Galaxy books. But of course I can't...

Robroy

I am sure it is a spell for Flight in space. At least I thought so, but I can't find it. I am not even sure which game it is from. Any help would be appreciated.

Robroy

Ugh, please dear God stop calling it The Masters Saga. Its NOT a Saga as its focused SOLELY on the war between the UEF and The Masters. Plus, using the TMS abbreviation just makes it confusing. Well that is the title of the source book, so people are going to call it that. Sometimes the abbreviatio...

Robroy

I don't think I have seen an official timeline that goes back before the crash of the SDF, 1999. The impression I get is that the defoliation of Optera and rise of the Master's empire was at least a few hundred years ago. Other wise the Master's use of clones and transfer of memories to be immortal ...

Robroy

the novels are not canon though. from the show and canon comics, there is nothing to indicate the zentraedi have fought the invid. at all. ...snip Since everybody else was presenting their theories....speculations. I could present what I did. There was a Graphic Novel back when RT was new'ish; Geni...

Robroy

How do you explain it in your games? I go with the "thought they were defeated" line of reasoning. While they were actually building up their forces. That way it explains the shock and surprise of finding them at Tirol.

Robroy

sure the invid have other sensing systems (mainly visual, in the show) but to put it into the RPG terms, they are more accurate shooting at a protoculture power enemy than a non-PC one (by a significant margin.) a non-PC opponent can also go undetected easier by staying under cover, and even if see...

[In my games I explain Scott not knowing as the UEEF as always in a stand up fight. Ether liberating a planet or defending from a counter attack against the Regent. As a resistance fighter he had to adopt gorilla tactics, which meant laying low sometimes. We see in the show Lancer discover that tur...

I stopped worrying about the Sentinels/UEEF timeline and went with my own. Lot less headache.

Great work. Love to see the Battle class.

It's possible you're thinking of the depiction of fold jumps in the novels and possibly Waltrip comics, where the time dilation effects of traveling by fold jump are so severe that a second of time for the crew is months or years of time in realspace. (This, itself, is possibly drawn from the Macro...

Louie is credited with fold drive and shadow tech related achievements in the prelude comics themselves. if he did not develop them himself in the new canon, he at the very least was one of the main guys that made them work. Prelude issue 2 page 5 - Louie is instrumental in getting the new fold dri...

I never liked the 3 or 5 year fold, or that the Masters were supposed to be in another galaxy ( had forgot about that ). I prefer to think the UEEF just took that long to find Tirol because they only had a rough idea where it was. I think the Masters didn't trust the Zentreadi so they never let the...

Robroy

Based on what I've read about the constellation, Tirol could be anywhere between 88 to 370 light years from Earth. I think we'd need to identify it's star to figure the distance. Another reason I am thinking it is in that direction. Way to close for the Master's empire to not find us or for the UEF...

Robroy

all we know is it takes 3 years to get there, leapfrogging using fold drives. Half-correct... that's only true in the RPG, which is non-canon (or, some would say "only canon to itself"). Official Robotech sources have never identified how long it took the UEEF to get to Tirol... which gav...

OK I know it is said that it is in the Southern Cross, but is that actually where it is? Or is it just in that direction? Or is the distance not mentioned anywhere? Robotech is almost invariably frustratingly vague about locations and all but silent about distances unless that information was part ...

I agree that Macross is the favorite part of Robotech among fans. I just feel like the characters story arc have peaked. Sure if Sentenals was made I could see them in a supporting role, but not much beyond that. In an ironic twist, the creators of Macross actually agree with you wholeheartedly. Wh...

For some reason I have been reading about Robotech, Harmony Gold, and the Academy kickstarter. It seems that almost all the critics think the fans want Sentenals so we can see Rick, Lisa, and the others. Is this true? I ask because, personally I couldn't care less about them. If HG were to do Senten...

The UEEF has certainly shown it has the manufacturing capability, it could produce engine conversion kits, or hole new mecha powered by SLMH. What it probably does not have is the infrastructure to produce SLMH and supply it to the front lines. In my game the early colonies stayed with SLMH for thei...

I was thinking of keeping the sexes separate as far as berths and bathrooms go. I am also having the enlisted use a communal bathroom while officers would get a small one in their quarters. RHIP.

Robroy

As for a long time I mean a few months (ASC) to years (UEEF) in space. In the navy the longest I went between ports was 2 months. Normally we hit a port every few weeks. It's debatable if they actually go that long, since they apparently have a large number of deep-space installations which are lar...

I'm not saying a GM can't run his game however he pleases, just that I think it's fairly inconsistent with the setting for there to be a huge library of material that soldiers can access, since the majority of humanity's collective knowledge was systematically reduced to ash at the climax of the 1s...

Robroy

I was thinking for recreation a wight room / gym area. Yes I was going to include a lap pool (endless pool). For basketball you can use the hanger deck after fight ops and the occasional movie(we did). I am going with the library caring E-books and the ships TV station handling music and streaming m...

Robroy

Since protoculture is supposed to be 100 time more powerful than a fusion reactor maybe you can build a ship with 100 fusion plants and use that to transport other ships in its fold bubble. Where is THAT coming from? The only thing that's been said officially is that protoculture has higher energy ...

Robroy

The biggest difference between the SLMH vs PC as far as mecha goes seem to be endurance, about 1 week vs about 1 month (for 16 cans). I don't think a engine swap would be that hard for anyone with the right skills, but then that can be said for about anything. It is kind of strange that the NG SB di...

Robroy

Ok, looking back I guess I am drifting off topic. The ASC mecha I would let run on liquid hydrogen for 1 day, less with combat. Cracking water is easy, getting enough to run a squad of mecha may be the hard part. ASC bases would have the equipment, if it has not been scavenged for a town. Gas plants...

Robroy

The way I always understood it was the 'awesome power' of protocultural was needed to run a fold drive as a 'regular' fusion reactor is not powerful enough, thou it could run the other ship systems. This is a common enough assumption, but one that doesn't hold water if what we're shown in the Shado...

I have the Sentinels. The rooms in that are 44 ft. Square, that is 1936 sq.ft. for 6 to 8 enlisted or 2 to 4 officers or one family. My three bedroom, two bath house is 1600. When I was making the berths for my deck plans I made four rooms for bunks and a small central area in a 11 x 15 ft.space, 1...

Robroy

Yeah at first it is a rough transition especially as Robotech Masters starts out very slow and light hearted. When you get about 10 episodes into the run it gets it legs. Then the story is actually engaging(minus a few episodes here and there) and the final 5 episodes are great! In some ways Robote...

I thought most ships have a protocultual reflex furnace for primary power and fusion for back up.

Ok. Slowly working on the deck plans. New question. How many think the crew quarters that Palladium has put out before are on the large side?

Robroy

Don't get me wrong, if they make a LA movie I will go see it and unless they screw up the characters like they did in Batman, I will buy the blue ray. I watched Robotech back in the 80's and think the series would better be served with a good animated movie.

As for the OSM and one ship class, that just does not work for me. Putting a destroyer, a cruiser, and a battleship side by side and saying two are variants because they are similar design, even if they have some of the same systems, they are different classes. Eh... believe me, I understand as wel...

As for the Chimera they are listed in the Masters book as being on the Tristars and we see them on Carpenter's ship (Tokugawa class. Don't remember the name). No the Chimera's are not seen on Carpenter's ship (the name is never given in the show IIRC), the only fighters his ship has are unique figh...

I should learn to double check some stuff before I post.

Robroy

Even if the numbers are made up the ratios between height, width, and length are right, but like Palladium did with the Tristar, the thing to do might be is just widen it by about 60 feet. I was just wondering if anyone else tried to create deck plans, ran into the same problem. As far as the Southe...
