Robotech RPG
PALLADIUM BOOKS’ PLANS FOR ROBOTECH®
Here are
the
answers to frequently asked questions about Palladium’s future Robotech
plans:
· At this time, Palladium has no plans to reprint
the
past Robotech® role-playing
games and sourcebooks in
the
ir original form. The upcoming RPG books will be new.
· Palladium will use some of
the
best artwork and text from
the
original games, but all of
the
new books will be substantially rewritten, expanded upon, and illustrated with
much new artwork.
· The timeline will be brought into line with Harmony Gold’s current Robotech
continuity.
· Statistics will be adjusted and tweaked, rules will be modified and updated,
and fan input will be taken into careful consideration.
· Much more attention will be devoted to The
Sou
the
rn Cross segment of
the
Robotech® saga.
· The current, but evolving plan
is to release Robotech® RPGs and
sourcebooks in
the
following order: Robotech® The Shadow
Chronicles® RPG, a New
Generation/Invid sourcebook, The
Macross Saga RPG, and Sou
the
rn Cross sourcebook followed by more sourcebooks for
the
m all, rewritten and retold.
· The manga size: With
the
popularity of manga and anime, this compact format will pay homage to
Robotech’s Japanese origins. The games and sourcebooks will contain about
192-224 pages and will measure approximately 5 x 7 ½ inches. They will read
front to back with art and text at a readable size, sell for $16.95 retail, and
contain material that should appeal, not just to gamers, but to anyone who
enjoys Robotech®.
· O
the
r advantages of
the
manga size: Portable and easy to carry in a jacket pocket, backpack, etc. For
collectors of manga,
the
game will fit conveniently on
the
shelf with
the
ir books. Fur
the
rmore,
the
format is expected to attract manga readers who have never played a
role-playing game. Many first-time gamers discovered
the
genre with
the
original Robotech® RPG and
sourcebooks in comic book stores.
· Palladium has been conducting research for months in anticipation of
the
new Robotech® RPG, and is ready
to dive into
the
production of
the
first of many, new Robotech® titles.
