I hope we do but like everything else with Palladium it won't be soon or on time at all.

Going from memory of watching both Robotech New Gen and Mospeada I would say early on the The Scout with the Blue Eye was a sort of leader for the other Scouts and the ShockTroopers. They had the Enforcers but they seemed to be more in human areas/invid farms hench their human size.(the Regent has ...

MilkManX

Not that I know of but it sounds like a great idea! What era? New Gen? Masters?

Based on the show most of the Veritechs(VF-1,VHT,LOGAN,Alphas) all seem to transform pretty instantly. The Cyclone though does take a bit longer but even then in my games I did not enforce that rule.

MilkManX

This page is awesome!!! Love it. Good stuff. Makes HG's page look pretty bad....

MilkManX

Welcome back. Not enough Robotech podcasts anymore.

MilkManX

I will bet 20 on Winter 2015 before it ships.

MilkManX

Any chance this is gonna get reprinted to proper 8.5x11 size soon? It's the only one I don't own as I don't care for the small size versions.

MilkManX

This is most excellent stuff. The best Robotech stuff to come out since the 1990's!

MilkManX

I hope Zen72 gets back to his show soon. He has not done one in a long time.

MilkManX

Even if this gets made and it makes it to its 2015 date that means the RPG supplement wont be out till 2025 or so.

MilkManX

The new rules made my head spin more than the old one. I finally just house ruled the tar out of it. My players love it that way.

MilkManX

Not surprised at all. If there is a way HG can make Robotech fans angry it jumps at the chance it seems.

MilkManX

Well the cover looks pretty good. Can't wait to get it in 2021.

MilkManX

As far as Invid Mecha go the only ones I would let my PC's try to fly would be the Commander Mecha. The other ones are all designed for the slug type Invid and they sit in those goup tanks.

MilkManX

I ditch attacks per melee entirely. Everyone gets one action per round, each round is 1 second long, and some actions take multiple rounds to complete. Also, instead of rolling to dodge, if you choose to dodge, the difficulty of all attacks made against you that round is increased. --flatline See I...

MilkManX

Personally, I stay clear of this as well. It certainly makes sense to house rule *something* because the rules as written are pretty much incomplete. Palladium rules say each character takes turns until one runs out of attacks and the other can just unload. The system works *okay* until you run int...

March 4th 1985. I think I may have seen the Code Name Robotech the friday before but I know for sure I caught the show right as it started. I was hooked on Anime/Japanese cartoons from early on with G-Force/Transor Z and Voltron. They just had a look and style and Robots/Mecha that I dug. I remember...

MilkManX

Yeah that is neat. I knew the Robotech Masters ships were big but they are much bigger than I thought!

MilkManX

Awesome. I would love to check em out.

MilkManX

Happy Belated Birthday!

MilkManX

This is a really cool idea and setting for a Sentinels era campaign. Awesome stuff. (also being a long time G.I. Joe comic book fan I loved that you used LRRP)

MilkManX

Got my Macross Saga book yesterday. Looks great. Had no thoughts of running any Macross anytime soon but reading Zentradi Rebellion again has me hankering to run a Malcontent campaign!

Okay now lets get Masters 8.5x11 out because I need some ASC stats for this campaign...

MilkManX

If you want some ideas check out the Robotech Novels by Jack McKinney(a pseudonym for Brian Daley and James Luceno). They were able to go into a lot more depth on the history of certain things and even places the show never did. They also did the Sentinels and some other books covering in between er...

MilkManX

I am hoping this is the stuff from the Sentinels era Campaign. That is what we are missing from the current revision of the RPG.

MilkManX

So if they say December 2013 based on the track record I will say August 2014 is closer to the truth.

MilkManX

I got mine on order just waiting for it to show up now. Bring on Masters!

MilkManX

I hope you are right Seto. I would love to have some good Planet hopping adventures again.

MilkManX

The Sentinels could have been really cool. The books are a blast to read and maybe were a better vehicle for the story anyway. I played the crap outta the RTII:Sentinels RPG!

I wish they would make a new Sentinels book for the 2nd ed.

MilkManX

Yeah I tried to go there and saw the error.

MilkManX

Yeah I am having a blast using it in my New Gen campaign.

If you are running a New Gen era game than this book is a great addition. If you care not for Invid Experiments or Inorganics then you can skip it.

MilkManX

Anyone have the Proper Macross book yet? I have to wait another few days before I can order one.

MilkManX

Woo hoo!!!

MACROSS!

Available now, so get your orders in. Robotech® the Masters Saga™ should get the same redo this Fall.

I know that means really sometime in 2014 but that is ok. The important part is that it is coming.

MilkManX

Right. The original 85 Episodes + the newer Shadow Chronicles and RT:Love LIve Alive are the HG canon. Your own game canon can be whatever you want. My personal campaign in currently on New Generation Era Earth but I pull from some of the not canon material such as the Sentinels and the in between n...

MilkManX

Maybe but Walken is kind of old now for Khyron. Maybe if any era/age actor goes then yeah Walken from the 1980's

MilkManX

Stephen Lang from Avatar comes to mind for me..

MilkManX

Awesome! I will order mine Friday.

MilkManX

Just finished it....here are my issues... 1. Should have put it back in chronological order.....not jumped around in the continuity. 2. Should have had less of the dialogue from the show and more of Lancer being interviewed and actually have the story told from his point of view. #2 Yeah I brought ...

MilkManX

7 days till Macross 8.5x11 is up for order!

I am not going to run a Macross era campaign anytime soon but I will grab this for the future.

MilkManX

I prefer RDF/REF and feel that the UEFF was something to try and make the Macross and New Gen units seem more like they came from the same source.

MilkManX

I am running a New Generation Era Sandbox campaign and we were short 2 players from the normal group. I whipped out Genesis Pits and had a search and rescue turn into OMFG we are trapped in a prehistoric hell. The players dug it and we had a lot of fun. I used every fun thing in that book. One of th...

MilkManX

That is fine. I came to share and if others want to flame me that is their choice. Some people are just jerks.

MilkManX

What era are you planning? Watch the show but in particular what era you are playing. Take some notes. I find the easiest era to play is the New Gen because of the nomadic/desolate earth.

MilkManX

I watched my copy last night. If you have seen Mospeada LLA you know some of the new footage but the Robotech LLA is a very different film. Mospeada LLA is a concert tribute montage to the entire Mospeada show. Robotech LLA is a Tribute via a recap of the New Generation with some new footage and sur...

MilkManX

Don't waste your money on this "movie". 90% of it is a highlight reel from Invid Invasion. And the animation they used from the actual OVA was literally reused three times in a row during dialog. It is one of the most lazy attempts to make money I have ever seen. About the only good point...

MilkManX

Now the ongoing Robotech comic should be interesting and maybe open up ideas for more Sourcebooks from Palladium. There is a bright side to this.

MilkManX

Yeah they did mention some "Sentinels" mecha would have cameos at their SDCC panel.

MilkManX

I don't worry about the technical details. I worry about making the game fun and interesting for the players and myself. Heck half of my players only watched the show sporadically. They just like RPG's and mecha is a bonus.

MilkManX

Well, another trailer dropped. Seems they located the original Narrator (at least it sounds like him). Wonder if Tommy will have the Condors transform.... Robotech：Love Live Alive Funny enough, even though the production values are incredibly low, the cel-shaded ships STILL look better than those i...
