I hated the new movie, but I am so freakin' excited about this new book. I can't wait for my FLGS to get it in stock so I can go get it.

Too bad it is using the palladium rules

That's great! I'm really glad it's doing well.

So easily stripped, really.

I'd rather just study the movie and make it d20.

I just like the artifact of the book, plus it has a bunch more information than what the movie presents. The fact that it is Palladium system doesn't bother me at all; I don't like it, but I don't hate it. Yes, I could spend the time doing the conversion myself, but why when someone else has done the work? Besides, as much as I did not like the movie, I would like more Robotech books to come out, so I'm making it known with my dollars.

Having looked it over recently I decided to pass because after 25 years Kevin still doesn't understand how to produce a well organized and attractive book. The problem is here you have this amazing visual property and you present it like AD&D was in 1982.

The content is ok. He does hit the high parts but the lack of expanded content for the actually time settign is a bit disappointing. There is some info on the Shadow Chronicles story, an expansion on the Haydonites and the Invid but its really minor. One positive is the "fast character gen" improvements in the system and the update of the old MOS system from the previous release of the game.
