Wanting to run my first Robotech game

[Psychie]

Hey everyone! I have been a member for a while, and now I want to try my hand at running a Southern Cross setting game of Robotech. It would start out during the time of the Malcontent Uprisings, then move into the invasion by the Robotech Masters. I will tag a few players that might be interested, and hopefully I can run a good game!

I might be interested in this. Are you looking for a mixed bag of ATAC and TASC, or a group of just ground or Veritech pilots?

 

[Psychie]

I would rather have a group of one or the other. Personally, I have some reservations on the effectiveness of the Logan for the fliers, so I'd probably want to see the team in just hover tanks.

 

[Sherwood]

Well, you know me. I love me the Hover Tanks.

I'd love to give it a shot! Count me in. I don't know much about the Southern cross and that era, but I am pretty good about learning on the fly.

And tank stuff does sound pretty cool.

 

[Sherwood]

The Hover Tank is my personal favorite kind of mecha. Its small but very nasty.

Great! I hope to have at least one more person in the game before I open up the thread.

I don't recall it. So will have to look it up in the books. But artillery is fun by default so it's got my vote. Are they controlled by a single operator or a crew?





Though a non veritech flier I think would also be pretty fun. Speed and technique always make for fun spectacle.

 

[D. Rex]

Ha! It's a veritech xD I was actually thinking it was a tank tank lol. Looks wicked too!

 

[Sherwood]

The Hover Tank is run by a solo operator.

In the early parts of the timeline, the tank main gun is a 125mm bullet that has different shells available for it. Later on in the series, it is switched to a 105mm particle cannon that has a better punch to it, but has a little less versatility.

 

[D. Rex]

Which ones will we be using or will we have the choice?

 

[Psychie]

You will start the game with the heavy shell weapon, then later on it will be upgraded to the particle cannon.

 

[Sherwood]

Cool.

 

[Sherwood]

Are we going to be able to use the advanced martial art styles in Ninja's and Superspies?

 

[Psychie]

I don't think so, but I might change my mind.

 

[Sherwood]

Ok. That still works for me.

 

[D. Rex]

Mmm. Heavy shells.

 

[Sherwood]

Not to be nit picky, but the shells are the 105mm, and the particle cannon is the 125mm. But they both still rock.

 

[Psychie]

Whatever!

I do not wish to be part of an rp where people try to force 125mm shells into too thin barrels - that ain't gonna work, that's basic physics.

On a more serious note: Thanks for the tag, really appreciate it. Unfortunately, my time is rather limited these days, and I wouldn't be comfortable joining another rp while I've got problems to keep up with those I'm already in.

I understand. Thanks for replying.

I'm interested. I may be a bit slow though. Palladium system is new to me, and I'll have a lot of catching up to do both in lore and mechanics.

 

[Orikanyo]

Sorry, abit stuffed up with rps at the moment, if an opening shows up would be glad to.
