check eBay they show up now and then.

I got the Palladium update email today... and everything is still boiling with Robotech Tactics..

In other news (same email) Kevin is selling his personal collection on eBay...

Only time I know my friends and myself sold our "collection" it was to repay major bills and
the money coming in from our jobs wasn't cutting it... Last resort kind of thing

Maybe this is the last stand for Palladium.. we will never see wave 2 but we will see them go bankrupt.

Next time you are in Detroit you might see Kevin on the side of the road with a cardboard sign..
"Will write Rifts for food"

He's been selling his personal collections of various things for almost a decade.

Yeah, that's been 'a thing' for ages.

For those who actually want to see the "newsletter" (part that pertains to us) in all its glory, look upon this!

"UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™

We are in the process of making a determination as to whether we can release Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave Two game pieces with much fewer component parts, for fast, easy builds. We do not want to say anything more until we are certain of all the details, which we hope to have in a few weeks. We are also plotting and working on additional source material and support for the game line. Things are boiling for Robotech®. Much more to come."

...

*spanking motion*

Edit: Oh, I have run afoul of the profanity filter, but y'all know exactly what I mean.

so nothing new then ?

*boiling intensifies*

Wow, PB has actually managed to take a step backwards.

For them, that's progress, I guess.

All I want is my damn Monster - and a few supers. Why, oh why did I ever get mixed up with this company?

Nostalgia's a helluva drug.

I didn't even remembered the Robotech story (too young when broadcasted to remember) and got engaged with PB because of an older friend (nostalgia xD).

Well, at least RRT keeps me busy and so I have no time to remember WHFB (and neither time to go cry in the corner hating GW).

Going to play RRT all day long with the guys tomorrow. Yay!

Oh yeah. Definitely a "First on the fridge, first off the fridge". As soon as he fills the door, he sells some and starts doodling something new to replace them. Door gets full again, sell some more. It's like ...... money for nothin', dude! [kinda sounds like the RRT KS, doesn't it?]

And as to kowing what you mean, it's but lower down, right?

Ooooh! Intense boiling. That's a mistake, I feel. Where can they go from here?

Amen, brother!

Also, hasn't it been "we'll have more info in a few weeks" for multiple weeks now?

Like, 104, give or take?

When one has achieved stagnation, wouldn't the proper word be "fermenting"?

at least there was WHFB's and it can still be played with all kinds of items for it, sadly same cannot and never will be said of RRT, except for those of us who do what PB with its 30+ years of experience has been unable to do.

Fermenting is something good, PB is that science experiment sitting at the back of your fridge you are afraid to touch.

Technically he never said what week... Could be the week of July 2020..

Like one day I will win the lottery...

Doing a step by step game for Nodal Wars using UEDF vs Masters forces. I know some of you don't like facebook, but if you want to help decide the fate of each side come and help. I'm taking in suggestions as to what side to move where and what to do for each activation.

That, and the pre-ks claim that PB wasn't "doing the heavy lifting".
I knew PB's reputation before signing up. I wasn't sure about Ninja Division. However, since PB advertised that this was really a ND project and they were going to be hands off, I figured it was a safe bet, even if it was still a bet.
I also thought, hey, these guys surely don't want to mess this up, they will do whatever they can to get it out the door.
Combine that with "I always wanted a miniatures game for this" and "all three generations in the same scale", hiw could I resist?

I wasn't prepared for sheer irresponsibility and an entire company that can't function on any level without a guy who's natural tendency regarding work is to not do any.

Lancer II's heading out to deal with those pesky Gnerl's:

The stupid about this is that they appear to be on their way to reduce the parts count to ONE. or ZERO, as it looks to turn out.

Bah the stupidity.

Yeah, just noticed that all your images in the thread have gone. Hopefuly they hasn't taken away by a C&D letter from Kevin to brickshelf xDDD

Remember me... those Lancers were made in paper and toothpicks and then casted in resin, right? Or are they 3D models printed?

Good work by the way!

3D printed, and Kevin can do all he wants, but those pictures violate no laws IP or otherwise.

I was just kidding xD
Hopefully you recover all your gallery :/

The Lancer II design looks cool!

Well, here are some pics of the games we had yesterday with my RRT fellas:










































Cheers!

Congrats on getting in some games! I know that doesn't sound like something worth mentioning but it doesn't seem like the game is played much up here on Palladium's and Harmony Gold's native country or neighbor to the north. On a similar note, this game from some guys that normally host nice 40k games came up in my youtube feed over the weekend. It's in spanish as well but obviously the action isn't too hard to follow if you know the game rules. Nesbet or Albertorious will have to fill us in on any special events that they narrate which aren't visually obvious.

and even more Lancer II's

@Nesbet- I loved the Alaska base board. very cool.

The primed Zents just looked like they had really good camo!

@Asterios- The Lancer IIs look pretty cool.

Almost brings a tear to my eye: well done!
I find the only way I get any interest here in the North is having stuff painted.
Unless the game looks pretty, no-one here wants to play a game they do not know.
I demoed a couple times at my FLGS, Kevin did give me a card and said he "would see what he can do" if I demo again.
I would probably get a Robotech RPG book as a prize...

Too much WW2 stuff I got to do before I can give these guys more love.

Old 2014 Rifter Issue incoming! I hope you enjoy the Phase World fanfic and new unofficial house rules for incorporating anthropomorphic squirrel people and chipmunk folk into your Palladium Fantasy games!

Even our beloved leader Kev wouldn't allow that. He would be in danger of being called "Stingy", "Miserly", or "[Expletive Deleted] [Censored]".

SIGNED CLASSIC 2014 Rifter issue incoming!



P.S.

Nesbet. Can't you at least put those pics in spoiler tags for our bandwidth-challenged colleagues? [mine is down to under 100b/s at times. At least the British government have promised us an upgrade in the next 12 months.

Here, I've heard that before, somewhere!]
