The pdfs on DriveThruRPG are pretty cheap right now. Only about $US 54 for the who kit and kaboodle. ETA: I just realized, the REF Field Manual and The Sentinels were never released as pdfs. Rats. That's really the only one I'd like to get. Maybe if we ask, they can put them out real fast. And mayb...

Yeah, Jason Marker turned in Marines too, and instead we got a different book.

I think it was expected due to the outcome of RRT Let's see, here are some of the biggest fails of Robotech, the 2nd coming... Manga - Even though I was not an initial supporter of this style. I have to admit, I was hooked, and wanted to see the rest of the line to continue with this format. But I w...

4000 miles doesn't seem very long distance either. Without knowing the actual max speed of the vehicle, I'll go with the rough estimate of 200mph double in space. That gives it a running time of 10 to 20 hours of use. If you do rule it as a Cell, give it a 1 or 2 days use, half if in constant use. B...

Tiree

the Half Zent's, and Tirolean's, were added in one of the New Gen books.

It was probably cut due to space of the Manga sized version of Masters.

In the old 1E Robotech Sentinels there is this bit (mind you they don't have the double exploding dice): As usual, a roll of 16, 17, or 18 provides a bonus roll of 1d6 and bonuses on abilities. Likewise, a roll of 11 or 12 on 2d6 gets a bonus roll of 1d6 How I read this: 3d6 on a 16-18 you get a bon...

I always wonder about that. Because they should be able to communicate from one mega city to another. I have postulated that the CS uses high altitude flying drone satellites , or possibly make them low flying, 2 to 5 mile range as repeaters and surveillance systems. To be on top of combat actions a...

A plan to take out a Coalition patrol needs to be very well thought out, but I am strongly against the idea that the Coalition should be played with a hive mind "screw the players" ability, like some seem to be suggesting. If you are pointing to me as painting the Coalition as having a hi...

The bonuses are pretty big. They aren't RUE standard, so they may be altered if that ever happened. But I did notice this: The helmet also links him directly to Archie, enabling the two to psionically communicate within a 500 mile radius (800 km). How much of these bonuses are due to Archie himself?...

I found it to be quite the opposite. Players specifically targeting the Coalition just to loot their bodies and steal their gear. Headshot one guy + Chest shot the next = 1 Full Suit + Salvage Any enemy I throw at them, the first thing that goes through their minds: "How much money am I going ...

You say line editor... I say line developer... Potato Potatoes' Which is probably the case. Do I expect Palladium to gush with money for someone? No, they never really have. But what I can see is that they give the person a pittance, and a chance to shape a world that they love. Given the opportuni...

There definitely are three things within this that Kevin does: Develops, Edits, and Writes Most of the writers for Palladium are Freelance. When Palladium does process more through their stable, it's when they have an 'In-House' writer like Jason Marker and Mathew Clements on staff. What I envision ...

Tiree

I think I bandied this about a half dozen or so years ago - Kevin entrusts one of his freelancers as a 'line editor' for one of the smaller not so popular lines. See how it works out, see if the log jam goes away. Give that person full creative control and vision. Give that person 18 months to see ...

I bought the deluxe so I could get the stats on the motorcycle. The starships were an extra bonus, but not needed IMO since I had them available in 1e. I also contacted Palladium after they stated they were no longer going to produce Manga, to not reprint the new material in the Hard Cover within Ne...

Is there a standard sized that is not deluxe?

But I have to admit: I prefer the Manga sized books. I didn't think I would, but I do.

I would treat it very much like smoke missiles. Quick and dirty GM ruling that already has rules to follow.

Tiree

I'm going to say 'No' as it is a conscious action. You have to actively change your pre-programmed behavior from going away from being hit (flinching) to jump into a hit of some sort.

Tiree

My quick assessment: Shadow Chronicles, New Generation, Marines, Genesis Pits - are really Robotech 1.5. It's an update of the original rules, making some minor changes, and correcting some game mechanic flaws and erroneous concepts. MDC values on cyclones dropped, durability (flight time), has also...

The ranges do double or is it triple in space.

Isn't Alex some sort of Historical Military guy? It probably came from him.

I think there are three types of people who play rifts and look at the CS: 1. Rabid CS Fanatics 2. Rabid Anti-CS Fanatics 3. People who don't care I want to say, most folks are in camp number 3. This is where I fall. But I know folks who are so anti-cs, they refuse to play the game. This is where I ...

First thing I do when I have a players who can't stand the Coalition, I break out the Coalition Public Image Machine. One thing that we all know well about the Coalition is there propaganda is the best in the world. So I have Emperor Prosek step down, and put his son up. Then they institute the &quo...

I do like the look of that modified ship. Is that an SDF looking bridge on the top center, or just some kind of sensor array? I can only hope it's a sensory array or captain's lounge/yacht---because a bridge like that is HORRIBLY exposed. I prefer Zentraedi-style CICs buried deep inside the battle ...

Tiree

Yes, it's like running a game with a single player in any other game system. You create a plot, and you run it. Now you can tailor the plot more the individual player, make them shine all the time. It can become a competition between the player and the GM. But overall, it's not as great of an experi...

There might be notes of the Mook/Hero rules I suggested back before 2E came out here on the forums. Basically it made hero's stand out. Giving the PC some ability to withstand MD combat even without armor. With the idea that the damage actually hitting, but being more of a 'wear down' and 'near miss...

If we are going by what was in the novels....wasn't it NOT Denver??

Chipwell is a great example of quantity being a quality all its own. But one should remember these suits need the Pilot Robots and Power Armour skill to operate.

I would be surprised if it was recon, no need to use Palladium ip for nam. Palladium fantasy doesnt have to cost loads, no more than say the xena/conan show budgets. Or top end it and make it game of thrones which is also not to pricey if you remove the actors fees Recon doesn't have to be 'Nam bas...

I don't know, Recon would be the cheapest to do. Since you don't need high levels of CGI. PFRPG - Fantasy, and it's high level. Too much CGI and the production costs would be high Heroes Unlimited - I'd like to see something here, but like above. RIFTS - they said it's not this Splicers - too much C...

Totally makes sense to me HWalsh. It is one of the reasons why Juicers who have an Auto-Dodge, also have a Super High Dodge!

The vacuum will be filled - that's a given. But it will be more of what is already out there, unless someone tries to unite the people. Based on Shadow Chronicles, my bet is that the UEEF will fill that void with a unified government. My view, it will take the UEEF much longer to unite the people un...

I think GB2098 has a valid point about Canon, and keeping with Harmony Gold's stated canon. I like GB2098's idea, but I would like to expand upon it. Make the Ghost Fleet, TR Edwards Fleet. It initially was the squadron that he had formed when coming on board the SDF-3 and the UEEF's Mission to Tiro...
