I hope you get well quickly.

Chris

Well, yall thought about maybe doing a 2e Yin Sloth Jungles / Land of the South Winds mash up?

Chris

Is this going to be considered Official Palladium Canon?

Chris

South Winds for me.

Seriously, that region needs it's own book. It's one of the only major regions with nothing canon on it but for what you see at the edge of a map in the Old Kingdom book.

Chris

Awesome. I appreciate the feedback.

Have a question on how a particular spell can be used. Lightning Strike: Pg 91 Mysteries of Magic 1 It says under Duration; Instant once released. It also says in the body of the spell description that the charged weapon can be used by the caster, or someone else , and that once the charged weapon i...

Since the FOL is heavily invasive; in my campaign I just have them in a series of massive orbital farms well away from any colony world tended by loyal 'Stage 5' Invid. Figure that way if some Invid that didn't get the memo the war is over pop up they would go there rather then any populated area. T...

Chris

If that was THE Harrington, the Invid wouldn't have stood a chance would have be pasted at ranges exceeding 60 million km.

I'm still not convinced that a whole separate Marine branch is necessary in Robotech. I understand it's popular in SF due to things like Aliens and 40k, but I don't see why UEDF/UEEF couldn't just have the Zentraedi, destroid pilots, and infantry all just a member of general umbrella UEEF. Adding t...

Try near Portland Oregon, so far that hasn't been covered that much, and its far north enough to avoid vampire threat from the south and yet has access to the ocean. The only huge problem would be some weird Miles long tenticles that would have to be fought off on a case by case basis sadly the ind...

I posted this in the GM Forum as well. But, it is more relevant to Robotech as that is the game in mind when this was put together. For what it is worth, I have cobbled together a few spread sheet calculators for a game that I am running, and wanted to share them here. They draw from the information...

Chris

Seto, thank you for the OSM info. I always figured that one deck held more craft than the other. Wonder why they animated 12 Alphas launching from a Garfish if they are only supposed to hold 9? Guess it was just a mistake during the animation process. I would wager that if you don't have a Beta aff...

Looks sweet, only one question. Of course this assumes that the EBSIS and the AUL are one in the same. If this is the case then After the SDF-3 leaves in 2022, since Leonard is a leader within the AUL, and Supreme Commander of the ASC, wouldn't it be more expedient and efficient to just depose PM Mo...

Vetting a planet is a good start. Colonization might take three 'waves' (Four if you count the survey of the planet to 'vet' it.) Wave 1: Send the military out, they 'secure' the world, set up bases, (in orbit and on the surface) and further survey the area. If things still look good then... Wave 2:...

I like the concept of the GMU....a mobile command center that can be dropped from orbit to coordinate a ground assault but would make some changes to it....primarily the main gun would have to be able to have a better field of fire and be able to do indirect fire like modern artillery. Due to the s...

Possibilities of this being Grandfathered into RT:TSC ?? Thoughts? I've added them in, as well a smaller more nimble 'Scout Version' that I find handles a smaller party better. Less overhead for the GM is always a good thing. m [MTS-Artemis tab] "No! We are NOT calling it the 'Mystery Machine'...

You say that as if my opinion actually carries any weight to it Well, I am technically one of the forum newbs. I especially loved your versions of the VF-13 and the Super Shadow Alpha!

.... and is it just me or did the art in Shadow Chronicles go totally for almost a Hentai style in the way every single woman is drawn?

I adapted the Suppressive fire system used in Cyberpunk to fit the Palladium rule-set. It could probably be more elegant, and simple, but, this is what I came up with. The Morale check borrows a lot from the Shell Shock rules presented in the Rifts Coalition War Campaign book. I futzed with it a bit...

Chris

Well, here is an odd tidbit that is sort of related. (Found in Robotech Art 3, page 92.) "Rick has learned mind control from the Garudians and tries to exercise this skill in battle with Edwards." So, if we follow the Palladium staple of psionics being the realm of an RCC or other heredita...

Not official, but, it's something.

Another problem are the tactical considerations of space war in a space fold setting. When the enemy can appear in orbit around any of your planets and begin attacking in minutes or less, you have to dedicate greater forces to defensive duties, further stretching your resources and manpower.

One of the funny things that most overlook about current fighter aircraft design these days, is the fact that they are designed to be inherently unstable, requiring fly by wire and computer control; this is why they are so maneuverable. Stable airframes on the other hand are found on commercial airc...

Chris

I still think the reason all the Alphas were different colors was so the audience could determine who was on screen at any given time without the pilot being seen

"Oooh Red plane! Must be Rook!"

^_^

Chris

I think they should go with the same VF-1 from the 80's just doll it up a little, more angular lines, but keep the same body styling, as an analogy, call the VF-1 a Corvette C4-ZR1 and call the movie version a Corvette C6-Z06. Same body, immediately recognizable AS a VF-1, but more modern.

Chris

So long as they don't turn my beloved VF-1 into a spindly jagged Transformer robot look alike...

Hell...a good LA smog...the SDF-1 would BOUNCE off it.... "It's not air pollution...It's our strategic aerial defense boundary! Proof against ICBMs and alien battlecruisers!" Sadly, clean air legislation pushed by California's 'Greeners' had meant clear slies on the day Dolza's Grand Flee...

DYRL as a model. (i don't remember in the heavly cut robotech version of DYRL) You mean Clash of the Bionoids from Celebrity Home Video's world-famous* Just-For-Kids collection? I was pretty surprised to see the VF-4 in DYRL. It looks like Misa was surprised too. m Oh, it has a different color sche...

Chris

In all honesty (and this is considering the arc wherein Leonard is a racist pig) He and Karl would probably hit it off and team up!

Chris

If you have the Macross II Deck Plan books (Vol 1 or 2) then you have the ship combat rules already.

Chris

I am going to agree with Nelzie. The VF is not as flexible as a human, and thus may not be able to perform certain functions that a human is needed. Not to mention that somethings could potentially be problematic (picture a thruster going off on the inside of the PA... bad news). Zaria's armor prob...
