Count me as another disgruntled D&D player. I highly prefer C&C to D&D.

I just got Mekton Zeta and a lot of the books today and I was wondering if anyone out there knows where I can get good writeups, preferably legal writeups, of Robotech mecha and even enemy machines? I am looking for any and all Robotech periods including Macross saga, Sentinels, New Generation...

Robotech seems to be better than the rest. It seems to work better than the other Palladium games, given the setting.

It can work if you use different scaling. Just look at how Star Wars Saga Edition handles it with ground combat in character scale and ship combat in starship scale. If you use different scaling you can make it happen. I just have not decided what kind of scaling would work best for Robotech.

How would you all handle playing Robotech with minis and using squares on the same scales as Wizards of the Coast miniatures, tiles, and battle mats? How would it be different in Battloid mode vs, Guardian vs. Fighter in terms of scale to use? I want to start my own game using minis but am not...

I love C&C and prefer it over D&D at this point.

I'm not struggling with the Palladium system at all though. I find it rather simple actually. In fact, I don't think it is half as bad as what some people have let on and it is very workable/house ruleable. I just wanted to make sure my above impressions were indeed correct. I am still...

Let me get this straight.....from what I'm reading all you have to do on a strike roll to hit a target in combat (mecha or not) is to roll above a 4, after modifiers! This seems incredibly easy. I know you can parry/dodge or do a simultaneous attach against these but this seems incredibly easy...

I'd love to see your house rule fixes for Palladium, Dragonblade. I may adapt all or some of them myself. I like what you described thus far.

I understand (and deteste) that this site is primarily D&D focused. However, I have personally and seen others as well discussed various other RPG systems here as well including Star Trek (Decipher and LUG), Mutants and Masterminds, Unisystem, etc. I posted this same question at rpg.net earlier.

Anyone?

I have the new Robotech the Shadow Chronicles game by Palladium and at first I was going to use it to make my own conversion to a different system but I am thinking now that it will probably be less work to just learn the Palladium system. I glanced through the rules in the book a bit and they...

I have all the Decipher Star Trek books and am reading through them now. I am getting close to being finished with the Player's Guide. I got the entire collection brand new online for $35 before shipping. I am quite impressed with it thus far and think it will fit all my Trek needs.

I read just the other day that the Babylon 5 one is now off the table since the license was not renewed. I'd love to see what they could do with Star Trek or maybe the old Buck Rogers XXVc setting.

Wow....no thoughts? lol

I have been a bit intrigued reading about classic Traveller and the good reviews about the new Mongoose Traveller. I am looking for information on using it as a generic system for characters/equipment/starship construction to use with a different settings. I am especially wondering about the...

I am very interested in starting a Star Trek RPG group and I am wondering which former Star Trek RPG is the overall best system? I am mostly looking between the Last Unicorn Games version or the slightly newer Decipher version of the game. I am preferentially looking for a game that can cover...

Does casting work pretty much the same with Psykers in Dark Heresy vs. the magic system in WFRP? I assume the charts are different for magical backlash in DH though.
