I disagree with notion that Power Creep in Rifts is an issue. I actually believe its the intent of design, a feature. Reason 1: Realistically speaking, there are clearly superior arms and armor. Lithium power batteries carry more power per weight than NiCad or Alkaline. Different countries will deve...

Oh please don't.... I was involved with the Robotech, CAV, and Heavy Gear Kickstarters. Some thoughts about the minis: Robotech RPG Tactic: Reminded me very much of the Gundam Models I made when I lived in Japan but on a much smaller scale. Plastic was good quality and easily modified. VF-1 squad wa...

I'm In! I'm only an hour away! I would love to bring a Robotech RPG or even set up a Robotech Tactics! Maybe a Rifts game!

I check with the store right away. Thanks for the Post!

We are planning to attend, penciled into the schedule. Considering running an event or 3. Would love to get in on the Savage Rifts game Sean Fannon is running. Always willing to assist Kevin and Wayne on anything they need a hand with. I was there... It was a great time. Played a few of Savage Rift...

It has gone spectacularly well. I cant wait to see the results.

I am running 2 RPG Tactics games and 1 Robotech RPG Game.

As well as playing an Event Coordinator with NMI again this year.

See you peeps at the Con.

Just wanted to follow up on this and see if you had received the PM and find out where this is all going? Yes, got it and getting your name on the list. You should see Megaversal Ambassador under your name in the forums soon, as well have access to the Ambassadors lounge section of the Forum. Links...

Ummm... still haven't seen it. Cut and paste the request into a pm to me directly.

Thanks

I had applied as well and still waiting on a reply from somewhere between 2 week and a month I think... Don't remember the particular day. I'm sorry no one replied. Did you sent it to the ambassadors@palladiumbooks.com email address? Please resend your request to the above address again. I didn't s...

So sorry for your loss. I lost a big brother not to long ago, as well. I miss him. The sorrow for the loss never fades. But, I remember the incredible times we had together... the happiness of memories soon out weigh the sorrow for his loss. Hope your sorrow, as mine, fades into obscurity wrapped up...

Don't know where t put this but wanted to thank the prize support staff. The books and such came in and I know the players I have signed up and for Mobicon will be happy. TY again. Dude! No Problem! I'll make sure the Palladium crew hears this! The Coordinators just verify and pass the word on. Its...

@Phaze Which edition are we talking about here? First or Second Edition. Second Edition as Seto mentioned should not be an issue what with SLAP/HEAP rounds available to most man-portable weapons even in the Macross Era. I'm using second edition. I didn't think SLAP/HEAP rounds were available at the...

(Now if you're running your game closer to canon, without the inexplicable MD ammo, then yeah... you're hosed.) I want to create a more gritty modernized feel to my game and to the Zentradi, rather than the enormous, sluggish, and sometimes tactically silly Zentradi as they are portrayed in the car...

I am having a difficult time with designing a campaign in the Macross Era. The difference in strengths of the forces are tough to make it workable when you get down to the core Human side. Say I want a squad of grunts in the UEDF as player characters. Since this is in an era with SDC materials and f...

FatherMorpheus, I NEED to get into one of your games!

See you in a few months.

Man, I really want another Open House! I'm craving a good get together.

Is the program still going on? I haven't heard anything from anyone when I applied back a few years ago nor recently, though I am aware that the convention circuit is well under way. Just would like to know anything. I actually run palladium games regularly at a shop I go to. Also willing to run th...

I want to interrupt this Blog with some other fantastic work from The Gopher Hole. These are three resin Gencon specials that were purchased two years ago at Gencon. I was nervous about doing the painting myself because I didn't think I could do them justice. After becoming friends at the 2015 Open ...

There is no requirement to denote your special character. In personal games it could be great to hide where the character is by not publicizing which mecha he is piloting. In tournament play, Damage and information about units are not hidden, so the opponent would know what mecha has the character.

• A mecha defending against enemy mecha that is struck by one or more weapon systems at once can spend 1CP per weapon system to Dodge them.

So I spray painted the foam board and base with several paints... First a Black.

I have the utmost respect for the water you are carrying for PB, but this can't keep going on. Tell PB to get off their ass and make rules decisions OFFICIAL. Or have them make YOU the official guy.

UEDF fires GU-11 twice at Malcontent: Roll two dice, it is two attacks (correct?). Malcontent has to dodge and/or RWI twice (correct?). Correct.

Attacks are considered for EACH Weapon. Not each unit. Each weapon has a roll to hit. Multiple weapons are multiple attacks. Page 16 under Choose a weapon system. "When a Mecha attacks, it picks one of these weapon systems with which to attack." Followed later by: " For each additiona...

There was hesitation to run a tournament with only Wave 1 Units. Your assessment is correct. In some of my own homebrew scenarios, I have rules that allow Destroids in space but limit movement considerably, only because of the RPG stats that claim thruster packs are installed for the Destroids that ...

Love It! Great job! The bases are awesome!

Phaze

For this tourney, the MA's and Palladium are providing Objective Markers and Convoy Vehicles for those who can't bring their own.

Is it ok if I just use some sticky tack to put them on bases, so I can take them off when I'm done using them for the tournament?

Sure! Whatever works.

Phaze

Wait. Space will be a possibility. So, I am going to need to assemble and paint Veritechs as well? I...I am not sure if I am going to be able to do that considering the time frame. Well, looks like I might need to dropout and try to get a refund. **sigh** I read it earlier in the thread but can we ...

HEMTT would be fine. We made the window fairly large to allow for multiple options. Zent players can even use Recovery pods as stand-ins. Objective markers can be anything from poker chips to a 30mm or 40mm base with something on it like wreckage (the spare Battloid in the box set is good for this),...

It is treated as two separate attacks. He would only be allowed to share damage with one of those hits, per turn. If you had three valks in close formation, the third could take half of the other hit.

Phaze

The one issue I have is not so much intentionally targeting the ground which is an important feature for changing terrain (as a general rule, more options in the tactical toolbox ='s good), but that splash damage is full strength. I get full splash damage when you strike a mecha because the hit is ...

I was under the impression that a 300 point game would be about 1 hour, or is this for all of us newbies that will be there. Some that are playing are veterans and have played a lot, others have literally just finished assembling the minis and haven't had time to play yet. As the First Official MA ...

Great point and it has been seriously considered. Space scenarios are not necessarily exclusive to the Destroid. The rules even allow for Destroids in space if there is a surface for them to walk on (space craft hull or moon surface). With that said, your army has to have some ability to adapt to th...
