Always wondered why there was so much red in the Canadian flag.

It's all become so clear.

Well we have been and still are at times accused of being "Socialists" so.......

I thought all the red was for the maple syrup that had been spilled for her defense.

What big product release did Palladium manage to get out just in time for the huge Black Friday weekend?

I'd like to think that my newfound maturity is the reason I didn't put "Rifts Butt Plugs (now available in Black, Pink, and Glitter Boy!)". But I think it's more fatigue.

Was watching videos on YouTube, Rob Oren an ex Dice tower guy has a few videos he made recently that mentions RTT...

Funny thing is he wants to get an interview with Pallidium games... I think they would never do that because that would show
how screwed up they are..But best of luck to him...

Rob's Top 5 Most Anticipated Games That Disappointed - RTT #1 on the list




Top 5 Games That Make Me NEVER Want to Fund a Kickstarter - RTT # 2 on the list..

For those who don't care about the rest of the lists;

Video #1: ~8:40 is where RRT starts.

Video #2: ~5:50 for RRT.

Video two is the funnier of them, as it involves a section I'm going to call "Rob Oren struggles with numbers", and he keeps calling PB what distinctly sounds like "Paladin".

He does vow to continue to try to contact them for more information, though the video is nearly a month old so I guess he's having about as much luck getting info/an interview out of them as Scott is having with the bases (which is to say; none).

Shocker. Someone who has made videos critical of RRT is having trouble getting PB on record about RRT. Who would've seen that coming /sarcasm.

Edit: unless he has. At a glance he puts out a sizable number of videos per week. A lot of them aren't particularly long, but I'm not skimming for the next couple of hours just to see if he had any success.

Only one more week to go before what will certainly be the...Twelfth Update in the ongoing can kicking saga.

Yep. It will certainly have words, most likely organized into groups that have a form of structure, along with punctuation that makes it readable.

It's quite possible it'll have pictures, though that's no certainty.

I wouldn't bet on it having anything meaningful in it's content, or answering any real questions, but you can't have everything!

Don't you know that PB are flat out selling CGB's and heavily discounted RRT product? Ingrates!

More Robotech Tactics LOVE

From my Freindly Local Game Store they posted this picture for their Black Friday sale tomorrow..



RTT Box set...$20... MSRP is $100.. shows how strong the game is in our area..

Though the sentiment is somewhat undercut by having an X-Wing ship on top of it.

I haven't kept up on the meta, maybe the box is damaged or that ship just sucks, but it struck me as funny all the same.

Or the regular price it's $30 . Plus it's a Wave 5 release and FFG is now on Wave 12, so probably most people who wanted one already do.
The biggest three "deals" seem to be the three below it: RRT, Undercity and the stormcasts box.

OTOH, that GW boxed set is how much MSRP? $65? OK then!

And how about Forbidden Stars? What's the MSRP on that?

Decimator is retail 35US i think......so about a 40% discount versus 80% on RRT......

You got it... great people .. great shop...

Yeah.. that's what I was thinking... For a "Active" game per Pallidium Games with a unfinished kickstarter.. Not a good sign for it.

They also had the expansions on the $10 table...

Most of the games are not cut that deep in discount or if the percentage is close its a discontinued game trying to clear stock..

Good call there, those are probably factors as well.

Fairview is a great story with great staff. I live about 2.5 hours away but when I come that direction to hang with a buddy from college my dark angels come out. I've never seen robotech played there though.

Usually $100 IIRC, but FFG has currently put it on sale for $50. EDIT: Or well, it's put it on sale here at any rate, and it's already sold out.

Forbidden stars is also a 40k not so great board game that is OOP and I doubt will ever be produced again since FFG lost the GW licence;

Robotech tactics per Palladium games is HOT HOT HOT and every shop wants to carry it... Running tournaments at Gen Con to packed audiences.

Yet local game stores are clearing it out same as any other products that is not selling..

I haven't played it, but Forbidden Stars gets a lot of positive reviews.

RRT, on the other hand, is a big lesson to everyone.

I certainly don't recall seeing RTT exactly flying off the shelf at Palladium's booth at Gencon

As for every game on the $20 table, the Star Wars ship.. he still had a few on sale at normal retail and I figure he was just trimming stock.

Robotech Tactics needs to be available on store shelves for new players. But most game store have either already cleared it out or currently
clearing it out for other stock. People that have interest will look up information on it and find the Kickstarter is Four years late with no end in site.

So, clearly no one is asking for RTT at game stores now and this is why Palladium books has a giant pile of them in their warehouse. Never understanding why
product isn't moving... Blame the internet I guess..

Damn straight. Its always someone else's fault.

How does the Lawsuit HG vs PGI affect Robotech and Palladium Shames?

At Fantasy Books, That copy of RTT that was $20 has sat across from the half off RPG Shelf since it came out. I don't think one copy has sold. The week it came out, one of the workers openly said they didn't like the models. I don't know if it sold for $20, But I'll likely see it sitting on that shelf with less dust next time I'm there.

I came to post this link and then I sat back and laughed and laughed.

HG doesn't even OWN copyrights to the stuff they claimed to and never has owned them because the "guy" they got the copyrights from never owned them in the first place....

L O fething L


[Edit] So if Unca Kevvy got the rights from HG, then when do we sue him for IP infringement? How does this apply to KS, since he's selling, what are basically, counterfeit copies he holds no right to produce?

So, originally FASA lost their original lawsuit because they got the rights from the wrong (non-HG) people.

And how HG may lose because they didn't actually have the rights?

Would be nice if the courts would retroactively kick HG in the nuts and force some of their assets into FASA's pockets.

The guy running that blog has some pretty heavy battletech blinders on as he states he's never heard of Big West, yet their name is plastered on pretty much everything Robotech related as well as most older Japanese cartoons which were done by Studio Nue/Tatsunoko, Mobile Suit Gundam, Votoms, Crusher Joe, Captain Harlock etc. Big West also had their name stamped on pretty much every model kit that came out of Japan during the 80's and 90's and their brand is still active on a ton of model kits.

While some of his point may be relevant he's certainly not very well in tune with the companies that are involved.

Also speaking of Good Ol' Kev, during the original FASA/HG trial he served as an "expert witness" with testimony supporting HG's claims so he had a minor hand in all of the BS that has haunted Battlketech for years, it's nice to see his grasp on Robotech starting to slip. It must burn his chaps to see the heights that FASA and Microsoft have managed to reach by publishing a very successful line of video games and even some animated programs meanwhile Palladium is just a pathetic footnote as a company instead of a gaming giant. They also tried to squash the guys that created MTG and grew into Wizards, so it seems everything they target seems to go on and find massive success, while Palladium lingers in self inflicted mediocrity that withers due to Kevin's lack of vision.

I truly hope that that their motion to dismiss is granted. Regardless of how it effects HG and Palladium having the whole Battletech mess put to bed would be nice and I would *love* for all of the old mechs to return. The Archer and Rifleman need to have their classic looks back. I was always wondering what PGI was doing when they released versions of all of the classics that looked a hell of a lot like the originals but I guess they came ready to fight over it.
