Palladium Books a écrit:UPDATE: Robotech RPG Tactics
Nothing new to report at this time. A Wave Two release in the second Quarter of 2016 would be ideal. In fact, we’re planning to use its release as an opportunity to relaunch the game line with more support and an organized play program.
We’re a small company and have to juggle our workload and production schedules. Right now we are finishing a couple of RPG books, but in a few weeks, we’ll be turning our full attention back to Robotech RPG Tactics.
Keep the faith!

Palladium Book a écrit:UPDATE: Robotech RPG Tactics

Things are moving on Robotech RPG Tactics Wave Two (we actually had two conference calls yesterday to discuss it), but for a variety of business reasons we can not yet discuss or reveal exactly what we are looking into and considering. For one, if some of the things we are considering don’t pan out, we don’t want you to be disappointed. And it seems like every little while, things we were considering doing, get changed for one reason or another.

I can tell you, we want to make sure the rest of the Kickstarter items and future Robotech RPG Tactics items are something special and the best product it can be, especially after the long delays in getting Wave Two into your hands. Please know that we are exploring many different possibilities, and until we nail down the final details, we just cannot talk about what were looking into. But we are exploring many things we know you will enjoy. This includes a number of ideas for the relaunch of Robotech RPG Tactics next year when Wave Two comes out. Stay frosty. You are far from forgotten.

Hi guys.

As I have stated in recent Weekly Updates on our website, Palladium Books has renewed its Robotech® game license and we intend to move Robotech® RPG Tactics™ forward in 2016 in a big way. I want to get the Wave Two Kickstarter exclusives and expansion packs into manufacturing, and ultimately into your hands, as soon as we can.

Despite the fear and apprehension of some, I want to assure you that our Kickstarter backers have never been out of our thoughts, and Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave Two is coming. As I have stated, for strategic and business reasons we have been unable to share with you everything Palladium has been exploring, considering and working on. As you know, one of the things we have been doing is looking into and considering possible ways to reduce part counts and make the game pieces easier to put together. As we get into actual production and manufacturing for Wave Two this year, we will share plenty with you. And we think you’ll be pleased. Considering all the delays and frustration of the past, we do not want to even speculate on release dates and other details until we have hard, solid information we are confident with ourselves.

In the Spring we expect to be able to share with you much more details, information, progress reports and offer up new material on a regular basis. We’ll have some new data and material sooner, but I don’t think things will really begin to heat up before Spring or Summer. We want Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Wave Two and fulfillment of our Kickstarter obligations more than anyone. It’s coming.

Oh, and when we talk about the relaunch of Robotech® RPG Tactics™ we mean a renewed market push of the core game, regular product releases and game support, like RRT rules clarifications and elaboration, rules additions, advanced rules, demos, convention support, gaming events and promotions, adventures, PDF and physical releases, and more.

We are also floating ideas for a number of new Robotech® RPG sourcebooks for various Robotech® generations, which will ultimately result in new mecha, vehicles, aliens, and factions for Robotech® RPG Tactics™ expansions. We have some ideas of our own, but we welcome input and suggestions from you, so start kicking around ideas and don’t hesitate to share them with us.

Please know that we are truly committed to fulfilling our Kickstarter obligations and to make Robotech® RPG Tactics™ truly epic, with future expansions across all eras of Robotech®

Hey, guys. Wayne here.

I know it’s been a while without much info, and I’m sorry about that. Part of it is that I’ve been busy and distracted, but mostly it’s that phone calls and strategy meetings don’t often produce anything for me to show you. I’ll try to do better, but I know I’ve said that before so I don’t want to make any promises.

What I can tell you is that recently I’ve been trying to get you some info about this guy:

Don’t be alarmed! Yes, the figure in that photo is metal, but no, that doesn’t mean the final piece will be. It will be in resin, just as advertised. I’m hoping to get a few made in time for Adepticon, both so we can display it there, and so we can show it to you guys. It was only recently pointed out to me that you all have never seen the physical piece before. We saw the finished sculpt a long time ago, but frankly, all we at Palladium got to see was a low-resolution photo of the traditionally sculpted piece, with bits of different materials here and there, and some parts missing (because they would later be duplicated in manufacturing). It really wasn’t much to look at, and we didn’t want anyone to get the wrong impression of the final product. I realize that what I’m showing you here isn’t a very good photo either (and even more parts are missing from this pic), and that is partly why I’m trying to get some samples made to photograph. I’ll update you on that as soon as I can.

I also want to say this. Some angry and frustrated backers have decided that Wave Two is never coming, that we’re not working on it, and that we’ve moved on and forgotten about it and you guys. And of course, now that they’ve decided that’s the way things are, they’ve been stating it as fact as loudly and as often as they can. Don’t you believe it. It’s not true at all. I know it is frustrating that we haven’t been able to show you much here lately, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing going on. We are determined to deliver Wave Two as soon as we can, and we are still working to do just that.
