Hope for Splicers with Kickstarter?
With the rousing funding of Robotech Tactics, this may be our chance to get attention for Splicers. Using Kickstarter, we could gain funding for bigger or more books, attention to Splicers as a front row seat.
I hope you here this Palladium Books, The Splice must fund.

Re: Hope for Splicers with Kickstarter?
first step is that kevin would have to find someone to contract all the heavy lifting out to, basically. the robotech kickstarter works because palladium is in charge of approval, and i think marketing and distribution. which is not to say that they are not doing *anything* other than that (we know, for example, that kevin did some playtesting), but it is to say that it allows the product to be made in that time frame because kevin isn't writing, editing, and designing everything.
but sure, if there was someone else that kevin trusted to do all that stuff for splicers books (and that person has time, and is willing), there could theoretically be a kickstarter that would get us splicers books a lot sooner.
that said, i think most of the people kevin knows and trusts to write and edit RPG books are already doing just that.

Actually, I would love to see Splicertech in its own miniatures game, Have different heads for each metabolism, interchangeable bits for each bio-enhancement, etc

Rifts or Palladium Fantasy would get a minigame first

Please don't think for one minute that I haven't mentioned such ideas to Kevin already. A Carnivore HA pack with interchangeable heads, arms and legs and so on to build for Dreadguards and Roughnecks, and certainly a prized pack of Gore hounds and custom built Biotics, whew... Splicer would be perfect for a mini game. It already has the blood feuding warring, NEXUS, Great Houses, TJs, and Reserve creatures are awesome factions to build a mini game on.
The ideas are seriously flowing. When the Robotech Tactics Kickstarter launched, I was already thinking of how Splicers could be done. The more Kevin hears about the demand of this game line period, the more his gears will turn.
Yeah Sure..., Rifts and PB Fantasy are PB's popular titles, but they both would also encompass and require a GREAT deal more of rule hashing and editing. IMO, Splicers is a game that is straight forward for most part and has very few similarities as to competitive comparisons.

i imagine it would take a lot of modding to properly run splicers, though.
