Yeah, response time was a bit slow, but if their message and phone boxes have been like the KS message stream then it’s understandable at how slammed they had to have gotten. I got my first reply from my request back on the 2nd early this week, and got the package ready follow up today.

To add to the above, a VHT that replaces the main cannon with a crane for a mobile repair unit. I'd leave the other weapons for defense. I don't think the Destroids or Work Valkyrie shown in Macross 7 could be used exactly but couldn't they still be an inspiration for civil/combat engineering robot...

Maybe there's a program in the Valk's computer that makes it hop into the air for a transformation below a safe altitude.

the flavor text says they start with much more. Comparing the PPE differences between the normal Peryton to an Energy Wizard, Id give them 15 spells to start. I can find no reference to an Energy Wizard having more spells at Level 1, either in the rules or the flavor text. All I've found is referen...

silvermoon383

I imagine you still start with 4 spells at level 1, the main difference between the Energy Wizards and the "average" Perytonians is that the Wizards have a much larger PPE pool (2d6x10+20 (40-140) as opposed to the average 6d6 (6-36))

At the risk of getting skewered by my fellow Alpha lovers (and admittedly I'm about 300 miles away from my books so I can't check), but I don't recall the Alpha's gunpod magazine as being easily replaced by the pilot. It could be that the magazine design makes it easy for the ground crew to swap it ...

Had a thought on the way to dinner:

Did no one in the UEEF leadership read Heinlein? Could've saved a bunch of ships by setting up a mass driver at ALuCE and chucking a few moon rocks at the Regis.

Apologies for stealing Jedi's thunder, but his line in The Rind Cutters thread was too good to pass up. The line in question is thus: "which realistic there's no way in all get out the Invid would let somebody set up shop on" in reference to Moon Base ALuCE. Now I'm nowhere near the strate...

How'd you get your book so dang fast? Walk into the PB office and buy one? Or are you one of the lucky few that has a store that carries Palladium?

silvermoon383

In case you were wondering, no, Knox's team will not be scavenging up the GMU XD

Replace any references to Alphas to VF-1 when making a Macross-era VT pilot (pg 14 of the Manga-sized book details whenever you should make substitutions like this.) I really wish they didn't set up the Macross OCC and MOS's the way they did, it does get confusing. Oh, and the MECT bonuses for VF-1s...

Writer of "300" from what I saw on the reports. I never saw 300 so I can't really comment on if that's a good choice or bad. Still, at least it's some progress.

silvermoon383

If you have the Shadow Chronicles book you can find some typical Invid formations on page 203 (Deluxe Hardcover Edition, it'll be just before the characters section in the back). While obviously they're not going to work for any era of RT game, they're a good starting point. When I need groups of en...

Alrighty, here's the 300 point Zentradi force: 70 Regult Recon Squadron 35 Regult Squad 25 Gluuhaug-Regult Squad 10 Khyron 140 Subtotal 70 Regult Attrition Squadron 25 Gluuhaug-Regult Squad 40 Serauhaug-Regult Squad 20 Glaug 05 Azonia 160 Subtotal 300 Grand Total And it just dawned on me that I'd ha...

Been trying to plan out which heads to put on my Valkyrie so I put together the following 300 point force: 80 Valkyrie Squadron 05 SDF-1 Air Wing Nose Lasers 30 VF-1S 30 Roy Fokker (VF-1S) 10 Rick Hunter (VF-1J) 10 Max Sterling (VF-1A) 10 Miriya Sterling 05 Ben Dixon (VF-1A) 175 Subtotal 60 Fire Sup...

Arg, why couldn't they list the Tamiya paint line(s)....they've become my main paint source...

silvermoon383

As long as we don't list stats I can't think of a reason why not.

silvermoon383

Nah, no real reason too, though don't let us stop you. For the laying flat problem I've always just taken my books to FedEx office and had them rebind them with a spiral bind. Works great as long as the cut the spine right.

I'm still waiting on my Battle Cry box, and I was number 406.

Gonna need a source there buddy.

silvermoon383

I'll be there, but I'm not a Rifts player so I doubt we'd have much in common.

silvermoon383

Not finished yet, gotta pick a name and all the background stats, and add up all the combat bonuses, I'll get those up sometime soon.

I'm guessing we're all starting at level 1?

silvermoon383

Count me in. I'm already eyeballing the Explorer Corps OCC and MOSes (been wanting to use one of them for a while now).

And as a heads up, I'm already brainstorming ideas on a crossover. XD

silvermoon383

#406 ^^

Will the orders be filled in that order, or are these just bragging rights?

silvermoon383

Oh ye of little faith. I have a hard time believing that the modern era of TV wouldn't allow for a new Robotech series. After all, we did get Honey Boo Boo.

silvermoon383

As of 1:00pm EDT, the point is now effectively moot as Harmony Gold has canceled the Kickstarter... probably because failure was a forgone conclusion with them needing 50x the daily average donation level every day for a week to get to the minimum goal. m What a shame. I was really looking forward ...

Hi, just wondering, is there a source somewhere for the RPG stats of common animals, like horses, dogs, cats, bears, cows, etc. For use in Robotech campaigns set on Earth? Well, there's mutant animal rules in the Genesis Pits book... but somehow I doubt you want megadamage cockroaches in the barrac...

silvermoon383

So you're telling me that it's unfeasible that a military pilot living in a post-apocalyptic world where the population has been reduced to a fraction of what it once was wouldn't have received additional training in other mecha platforms? I'm pretty sure that such a thing would be pretty common con...

You guys a making a classic mistake when it comes to franchise universes: the only story (and main story) is what we see on the screen. As a die-hard Trekkie I can tell you that it one of the worst methods to deciding how a story universe is detailed. That mentality is like saying Starfleet consists...

silvermoon383

But what does that mean? They're not physically extinct, we saw them fighting the Regent in Prelude so they're around, not to mention Dana and Maia are both around so there're still some half-breeds as well. To me, I seriously doubt the Zentradi are gone, they're just extinct as a society. They've b...

Sure there is. They have a pretty serious need to rebuild, after all, Earth's a wreck. Then there's the integration of the Zentradi and Tirolians, how'd that go? I'm sure that wasn't all peaches and cream.

silvermoon383

What do I plan to do with the post-Invid era of Shadow Chronicles? Why a lot actually, your post prompted a brainstorming session for me and I have quite a list together (thanks for that)! Now I'm tempted to dispute your opinions of Shadow Chronicles (I actually find it a very worthy successor and a...

I don't blame the game, I blame the players that championed it to the exclusion of everything else. I would open my mouth about looking for a 4E group and get nothing but diatribes about how "4th Edition sucks, you can't do anything with it, you need to play Pathfinder". Pathfinder players...

silvermoon383

As a player, I find a few of the types incredibly annoying, with the Munchkin the absolute worst with the Leader a close second. When I got to play D&D (4th ed, not 3.5 since I started playing right as 4 came out) one person was a major Munchkin, and tried to do some really insane stuff with his...

Or maybe they just had some spares?

Does anyone know what the Expeditionary Forces's ship prefix is (if any)? I'm talking the little code before the name, such as the US Navy and Starfleet's USS, the British HMS, Klingon IKS, etc. So far the closest I've found is the SDFs, and the Genesis Pits book adds a SDBC in front of the Shimakaz...

The Elemer's glue and popsicle stick were new to me. I use the blue sticky/tacky stuff and use that and a plastic bottle cap from a soda bottle. Honestly, I'm not 100% certain that it'd work with plastic minis, my usual minis game (Flames of War) has historically used pewter, and is slowly converti...

Here are some of the things I've learned to do when painting and assembling Flames of War miniatures (which are made from either pewter or plastic): 1. Upon opening the blister/box, wash everything . I close the drain in the sink, fill with water, pour in a little soap, then swirl everything around ...

I doubt very much that humans/Zentradi/Tirolians would be able to pilot Invid mech. Several reasons: 1. If Sera and Corg's transmutation is the process for how all humanoid Invid and Commander/Overlord mecha are created, then you have each humanoid Invid being created at the same time as their mecha...

I've started playing one of the latest installments in a majorly popular game franchise and I've been quite impressed with the weapon that the main character wields. Since I've been a huge fan of this type of weapon (and glad at the refinements done to it since it was first introduced) I've decided ...

silvermoon383

I'm willing to bet the removal was due to a license expiration or change. They did just change distributors to Lionsgate (though I'll admit I'm not sure if that was for LLA only), so that might cause a change in how everything is distributed.

silvermoon383

If you're doing an Earth-based game and it's post Rain of Death, what I find helpful for world building is that I pick a place I know (or can do research about) and think of a reason why the PCs would need to go there. This even works pre-Rain technically, but it's not quite as fun.

Not from me. I agree with MilkManX 100%

Before you go running off claiming HG's just out to make trouble, bear in mind that one of the inanities of US copyright/trademark law is that you HAVE to defend against every single unauthorized use of your material.

It was way in the background where it was dark and full of battle fog/dirt/dust. Not to mention the camera was focused on a particular ASC lieutenant and the shuttle they were boarding at the time.

Do I want to ask how you're all seeing it a day before release?

Or just a hope to get those who haven't seen it yet interested and up to date with the story for the upcoming Shadow Rising.
