From the kickstarter or ordered at gencon?

And yeah man it is a big ass box.

Mine was ordered at GenCon. I didn't want to split hairs with her

I'm going to be in real trouble when KD:M comes.....

Well, this an interesting development.

But I guess your Gencon order slotted in with whatever level of KS pledges they were shipping.

Good for you!

Haha right when we determined they were not actually shipping Gencon orders.

This was from facebook earlier today:

"Wayne Smith
Everything being shipped right now is exported from BackerKit in batches. Those who placed pre-orders were never entered into BackerKit, and haven't been processed at all. No pre-order has been shipped."

Er, cincy?

Really?

Yeup. Just confirmed by the wife.

The text exhange was:

"WTF is this big ass box sitting on our porch."

I have no idea! I haven't ordered anything recently. (Knowing this is a lie)

" Well there's something here and the box looks like it'll fit those stupid Brimstone boxes"

(At this point I figured out it's probably Robotech) Who does it say its from?

"Palladium......Games......WTF Sean, I thought you didn't order anything recently"

I didn't

"Is this another Kickstarter. Dammit, I'm going to download a child blocker and block you from that site"

So.. yeah

Likely, as someone said, pictures....

Oh and if so CONGRATS!

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see pics. "Trust, but verify" style.

But that rather flies in the face of what they've been saying, even recently.

My sources tell me that cincy's sources were mistaken!

Another false alarm!

Nothing to see here - move along!

... Cincy's wife has posted a retraction? O.o

yes Alpharius tell us your sources or is your source the same as Cincy's ?

So cincy paraphrased his interactions with his wife, which he read over quickly (because you never fully read anything your wife sends you).

Cincy asked her if it was from palladium games, and she said, "I don't know, sure."

Turns it out it was not!

Sorry for the false alarm, Kids!

Good luck next time Cincy, fingers crossed for you. Should be in the next few weeks that you get that tracking email.

So that text exchange you had in quote tags, with quotation marks around each sentence, was actually paraphrased? So, in other words, you lied?

And back to Ebay to purchase another unit

Haha what a day!

Mike are those just the squad cards or all the cards including support and specials?

Destroid Raider being one?

That's everything except characters and Faction cards.

Yep. That's totally it.

Surely you can see how this... miscommunication, coming on the tail end of a similar concern would appear, ah, more than coincidental?

Not like we just went over 'random dude from Gencon got his stuff', but followed up with 'long time Dakka member who is presumably a better source of info speaks up'?

Less charitably, one might think you were simply trolling to prove JudgeDoug's point about kneejerk reactions, but I'm certain no long time member would do that to understandably antsy fellow members...

Quite frankly, Albino Squirrel and his 100 posts can step right off. I couldn't care less what he has to say.

I editorialized to tell the story. I'm not going to feel bad about that.

I wish I had intentionally trolled people here, quite frankly. If I had been able to pick up a copy at GenCon, I would have absolutely posted pictures here and on the KS to lord the copy over all of the KS backers that didn't get theirs, because that's totes my style.

Oh, wait, no. I'm the guy that mules things to and from different cons for other members, allows them to jump on other KS pledges, and sends people gak for free.

Which is actually what this copy of Robotech is for. For some kids (16 & 19) at our LGS that love mecha, couldn't go to GenCon, and can't afford the game themselves.

So like I said, Albino 100 post can go take a long walk off a short pier.

Ok ok everyone - cooler heads and all that!

And yes, on topic - thanks!

For what it is worth cincy I thought at worst you were a totally awesome prankster, never a liar. I certainly had quite the laugh over all this today.

So much drama! It's exciting here!

Days of our Robotech lives

Given the way this Ks has 'progressed', I'd suggest a more appropriate crossover would be

"Robo Cop-out".

I think the biggest WTF revelation in this thread lately is that Robotech.com has an active forum...

I wouldn't exactly call it active. It is the silence of the lambs of internet forums with the mods playing the part of buffallo bill.

In fact, everyone subscribed to Palladium's updates or, in fact, to the Kickstarter updates, was informed of RPG Tactics shipping.

If you're going to quote someone, how about you don't snip just the part you like.

Which is still ire worthy, but considering the results of the "vote" where they were going to just sell hundreds of boxes to anyone with the money up front, somehow I don't find this at all surprising.

My apologies. I was merely using the conclusion of your own observation.
edit: lemme quick add in here that I'm being sarcastic as, despite using the internet since Lynx 1.1 days in '94, I have never quite accurately figured out how to express tone

SO GUYS it looks like I'm playing my first game(s) of RRT on Saturday. Hopefully the first couple intro scenarios from the book. I'm looking forward to it, and I'm about 50/50 on "could be good"/"might suck".

My favorite games of all-time are Starship Troopers and AT-43; current games I enjoy playing are Bolt Action, Kings of War, and Warmahordes; rulesets that I wish I could play more of are Ga Pa, Deadzone, and Alpha Strike. So that should give you a good background about rulesets I like (decisive tactical maneouvering)

I should have some mini reviews on Sunday for ya'll.

Am I mistaken, or didn't you give the demo a whirl back at Gencon?

If so, it'll be interesting to hear your thoughts comparing the two experiences. How it seems to have evolved (any rules changes in the demo material to full release), and how the 'full rules' hold up under use.

My minis experience is just Malifaux, but across a massive breadth of video and board game experiences, I'm interested in how the mechanics interact, especially the asymmetrical options, such as the faction abilities, viability of character choices, etc.
