Max & Milia adopt a meltrandi girl and spend a decade killing the bugs from Star Ship Troopers the movie?
Well that is what the openning movie I download few years shouyld but come on what's the story? Why were there friggin huge bugs? Egyptian ruins on a distant plant etc.
I read summaries or translations of "The Plundering Fleet" and "Macross Classic"
but what about other short Macross stories and audio dramas like "The lost two years", "Docking Festival" and "Macross Generation", plus etc?
I think I may have mention this site years ago. The Roy Focker Special
skull-1.hp.infoseek.co.jp/ it's all in Japanese I used Google. How accurate is this information on it?
A few things of interest...
Warera becomes a drunk?
Misa's mother death was due to a liver problem?
Knight Aces aren't really that knightly. The only thing you have to do to reach that status is avoid all other targets and go just after the important ones. The cowardly pilot who just wants to do the minium that is required for a mission and to avoid all other dangers becomes the Knight. The Soldier shootd whoever is in their path and the Merc looks for houses and tents.
True a hex map or just a table top the visual aids of seeing where you and enemies are is very handy with a mecha game in motion.
I'm eager for plus to arrive. I'll found or scan pics already.
Hey I played Friendly Roleplaying for eight years. I had a blast!
AIM is good subtitute in the fact that it's instant dice action but you can't really use all use a hex map that way.
I agree that in person is more instant fun. Problem is all most people want to play stuff that is uncool or just different version of the same thing. How many FRPG do people really need?
Those that want to do something else or genre specfic have to go online. Then there are those like me who could possibly round up a few people but working a rotating schedule means I'd miss 50% of the games.
Well if Takara decides to sell it back or something like that. I'm sure this wouldn't change HG standing. HG most likely has a contract of some kind that has given them by Tatsunoko that involves some sort of rights. Takara still likely would have to honor that deal and make the conditions of it part of any deal they could make with BW.
I have the cover by Yuji Kaida with the clearly rip off of a GM fighting with a Zaku in front of the bridge of a battle ship.
If you have some conversions share them. I'm still waiting for Plus in the mail so I'm stuck making generic character conversions until then.
I read a few Macross/Robotech conversion online but I noticed a few things. I don't trust the stats made that seem designed for Robotech and most of the formatting is horrible. A blank white page with numbers all over the place. Instead of posting stats they post the cost of everything. The books uses tables to keep things clean and organized. It is very hard for a novice of the Game to make heads or tails of people posted stats without a book. That was one of the reason why I wasn't interested. Once I bought a dirt cheap copy of Mekton II it all started to make sense.
Great a in person game and I'm 10 hours away. I'll have to stick to message boards.
The Zeta books aren't that hard to come buy bought Zeta last week and order Zeta Plus last night. Mekton II on the other hand is super easy to find and dirt cheap.
Here are the basic rules on the net:

I think I'm impressed with Mekton is that is was specifically designed for Anime Mecha. Sure Palladium had use of license Robotech/Macross II characters & Mecha but they got that facts about them wrong and worst they used there house system without that much adjustment.
Glad someone got the SNL reference.
A large part of Mekton seems to be just creating mecha. After you've finish spending hours creating mecha the rest (combat and movement rules) seem pretty fast and simple. At least in theory I haven't played the system yet I'm starting to get collection of the books going. The rules of it seem to make mecha more mobile then in Palladium's nearly stationary Robotech.
Wolverine is the star of the films.
The first whose is the focus on? Sure they are other plot points and multiple characters but the clear leading actor is Jackman.
