    Hi. I'm looking to try GMing an internet game of either Macross or Robotech (players democratic vote) using the Palladium rules.

    For references, I've been GMing Robotech for more than 2 years, and my website is actually a sort of online chronicle of my groups adventures (although incomplete just now).

    If you are interested, PM me with contact info and what you would like to play.

    I am also quite open to running my own original universe and have been thinking about doing so for quite some time.

    Thanks!

    Edit: I'm also going to be running the game in a chat system of some sort, as forum RPGs tend to move very slowly and die off without warning.

    :: Nudges back ::

    Aah, being a Robotech / Macross fan for years now I seem interested in this. But I need something explained to me because I have never RP'ed Robotech / Macross before. Can you give me a brief description on what "Palladium Rules" are?

    Hmm well its not like a chat RPG... this one has rules (although if it would help get more players I'd discard the rules...)

    Basically each character has stats... skills... d20 combat...

    However if nobody knows what the hell to do in a system like that I'd just do like a normal forum RPG with no rules...

    Oh yeah, I remember seeing these RPGs in other forums. I found this one Robotech site where everyone made complete stats for every single thing. The velocity, mass, acceleration, etc. Those can be really fun but it seems that it would be too complicated for me since I have other things to do ;D.

    Oh jeez not like that...

    I'd keep it rather simple, as the Palladium system is not meant for the heavy hardcore detail...

    Physical Beauty
    Physical Prowess
    Physical Strength
    Physical Endurance
    Mental Endurance
    IQ
    Speed
    Mental Affinity (charisma)

    Each stat is determined via a roll of 3D6 (3 six sided dice). Rolls of 16 and up get an extra dice roll added on.

    It's pretty easy once you get the swing of things.

    But again, if it means I'd get players more quickly, I'd dump the rules.
