Played Robotech RPG when I was younger. It was okay, but noticed some errors that didn’t click with the series. I later come to intensely dislike All Things Palladium. I was hoping someone other than Palladium to score the license.

“As a note, has anyone noticed the wave of gaming nostalgia that’s been going on lately? 30th anniversary Gencon special, Top 100 Games of All Time, big box release of Battletech, etc. As excited as I am by a lot of it, I find myself not buying much of it when the time comes. Not sure if there was a point there - just an observation.”

LATELY???

The past two years have virtually been all about nostalgia and gaming.
Re-workings of most of the World of Darkness settings, a second edition of WFRP, new editions of RuneQuest, Elric, Hawkmoon, and the Lankhmar setting, Castles & Crusades, a new edition of Talisman, and so on.
You need to look hard to spot the new and interesting games appearing on the shelves of your local games store these days.

Wasn’t it Tobey McGwire’s production company who is attached to this title (in movie terms?) Dude supposedly wanted this one bad…may not suck.

I’m in - even back then, we modified the rules pretty heavily (and we were primarily a Palladium group at the time!). I expect to do the same here, but that doesn’t dim the excitement one bit.

I wonder how this is going to hold up? I remember playing Robotech quite a bit back in my later years of high school and I enjoyed it. I expect nostalgia won’t be as kind to me now. I’m definitely not sure about the manga-sized books though. I’ll probably hold out for the “deluxe” version.
