Sorry if it is or is not... I haven't really bothered too much with Palladiums in the last three and a half years. However, yesterday I was looking through some of my old books and came across Rifts: Mechanoids (one of the few Palladium source books I still have). I looked through it and saw the blurb about Mechanoid Space being released in 1994 and realized I that it's a decade later and I'm still waiting...

Or maybe not.. has it been released?

Still though, nothing will beat those ads for "Old Kingdom Lowlands and Old Kingdom Mountains, out in 1992". Or the blurb in Mercenaries for Seige on Tolkeen another 8 or so years before it came out.

Not to say that its bad, just funny in an incidental way. I mean, heck, we're still waiting on the Gundam RPG from R Talsorian.

*taps feet impatiently*

Now _there_ is a lazy company.

When you consider that the company only consists of Mike Pondsmith now, and he really only gets to it when he has a break from his higher paying, full-time job.... well, while I would always like new stuff to come out I can also understand that when it's only just himself and he has a family to care for it's gonna be the thing that's gonna give.

Actually, I think he mentioned on the Mekton Zeta ML that the decision was make to suspend or cancel release of a Gundam RPG here and the decision was made a ways back. He was actually posing the question of what folks would like to see for a new Mekton and how or if a campaign world should be approached.


That having been said, its unfortunate that they snatched up the rights to Gundam, when someone else could have done it. Odd that Kevin Siembieda had already said it was too expensive. I wonder how Mike was able to afford it, either way.

But I digress. I guess I never caught the news that it had already been delayed indefinitely. It is unfortunate that another company has not gotten it, but barring that, I hope the eventual release is at least worth it.

Foul language will not be tolerated unless all letters of the word are replaced by substitute characters. If you would like to censor a word, use symbols to cover it up completely. That means every letter must be masked. For example, $#!^ is acceptable. $h!t is not. In no way should there EVER be letters or numbers used. Please do not engage in prolific foul language use, such as "#*()$% ^!*()# *^() it all to #@**," regardless of covering up the entire word. In other words, do not be excessive. If it takes that many symbols to cover up what you need to say, just don't bother saying it.

Perhaps they need a rumor board. One that mentions all the titles that were mentioned in the past and give a full detail as to what happned to the title.... I.E. Hardware Unlimted, The Nursery, etc...

I recognize that this is a business and that it has a lot of hoops to insure that are jumped though and that missing a hoop means missing an opurtunity; I just would like to know what happened. Thats all.

I got a letter from Kevin the other day, Mechanoid Space is still on his radar, so there is hope.
