One game system – every genre – countless worlds – endless adventure
Palladium Open House is coming up fast. Only 5 weeks away. More importantly, the deadline to get the special hotel room rate is TODAY, March 15, so please reserve your hotel room(s) now if you have not done so already.
Robotech® has continued to take up much of our attention as we continue to process the many Robotech® RPG Tactics Reward Exchanges. As previously reported, Palladium is unable to produce the Robotech® RPG Tactics Wave Two rewards and simply does not have the financial resources to offer cash refunds for remaining Robotech® RPG Tactics (RRT) Wave 2 pledges, but we are offering a refund in-kind by exchanging Wave One rewards for remaining Wave Two pledges.
If you are a backer and want to participate in the Rewards Exchange, please get back to us at your earliest convenience, before March 20, 2018. March 20 is the deadline to get us your Reward Exchange information, but we will be shipping through the end of March. More details about the Robotech situation and the exchange program can be found here and here.
The response to the Wave One Reward Exchange Program has been strong and while most items are available in good quantities, they are only available while supplies last, on a first come, first served basis.
Liquidating Robotech® RPG titles and RRT products
Because Palladium’s Robotech® license has expired, we have only a small window of time to liquidate remaining stock of Robotech® RPG books and Robotech® RPG Tactics™ (RRT) products that may remain after the Reward Exchange with our Kickstarter backers.
We feel comfortable enough with our supplies to put most of the Robotech® RPG books up for sale now, as well as reduce the price of the Robotech® RPG Tactics™ main box game to $80, but it will be available for less next week. We anticipate the main box game and most RRT products will be offered at a steep discount by the end of next week once we are confident we can satisfy the many requests coming in for the Kickstarter Reward Exchange Program. HOWEVER, you will have a very short window of time to acquire them at the reduced prices. Everything must go by March 31, 2018.
