Game Of The Week: Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles

For those sick of bunnies from jupiter, I have the next best thing -- mecha! That's right, giant fighting robots from my personal favorite setting for futuristic mecha battling fun. I wanted to put a spotlight on this when it first came out about a month ago, but somehow I missed it, and none of my local gaming stores had it on the shelf. I stopped by the best FLGS in the area this weekend, and lo and behold, there it was. Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles.

Easy to miss, not because it's cool, but because, unlike the previous robotech rpg books, this one is tiny (not in overall size, but in dimension - I'm used to something approximating 8 1/2 x 11 for these books, and this one is pocket-sized)! Great game though, my caveat (as always) - the Palladium rule engine take getting used to. You will love them or hate them, and if you hate them, this game is definitely not for you as the game is very much in the Palladium mold.

Anyway, full details can be found on the Palladium Books site.
