(Update 217 is also educational) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rrpgt/robotech-rpg-tacticstm/posts/2120399 At least this shitshow is finally over. Summary of what’s come out of this in the past few days: • Harmony Gold pulled the license. This is important, because (as a few of you know) RRPGT started out as a fan-game and Palladium ran a hostile takeover of said game about halfway through the Kickstarter. So, in theory, it could be salvaged. Unfortunately, I suspect the well is too poisoned to try, but at least new minis will be an option either now, or in three years when HG fucking finally loses the last scrap of the license they don’t really have but defend to the death (it’s complicated). • As most of us suspected, good ol’ Kevin Sembieda decided to spend all the Kickstarter money on a third of the product and hope it paid for the rest (AKA run a pyramid scheme). • The amount of money needed/missing is within ~250k of the amount embezzled from the company shortly after the Kickstarter closed. Money that mysteriously stopped being needed a few months thereafter. BUT THAT IS A COINCIDENCE AMIRITE. • “It’s cool guys, you can trade in your remaining cash value for the models we still have pallets of in the back room. You know, the ones for an unsupported game with less than a third of the units. And you have to pay shipping. That’s as good as a refund, right?” • “Right?” • “Oh shit” • ALL of the RRPGT stuff is getting pulled from RPGnow and the “officialish” sites that are left. Grab it now if you want to play. It’s.. not actually a bad  game, despite the literally criminal mishandling it got from Palladium. Carmen did a good job of cleaning up the beta rules. • They’re going to have to liquidate everything by Mar. 20th. If you want hypercheap Destroids, grab ‘em in a week or so when the dumpsales start..

Genos doing things for Saitama just because Saitama has never had the opportunity kills me. From what we’ve seen in the manga extra chapters, he didn’t really have friends as a kid and I doubt he got many valentines. GENOS WOULD BE HIS FIRST (!!!) AND HE WOULD BE SO ANXIOUS TO MAKE IT PERFECT
