This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

THIS is what I want:

Quote from: Dark HorizonsWarner Bros. Pictures has picked up the feature rights to 1980's anime classic "Robotech," which featured giant robots known as mechas says The Hollywood Reporter.

Actor Tobey Maguire is producing and is eyeing the lead role in what the studio plans on being a tentpole sci-fi franchise.

A sprawling sci-fi epic, "Robotech" takes place at a time when Earth has developed giant robots from the technology on an alien spacecraft that crashed on a South Pacific isle. Mankind is forced to use the technology to fend off three successive waves of alien invasions.

The first invasion concerns a battle with a race of giant warriors who seek to retrieve their flagship's energy source known as "protoculture," and the planet's survival ends up in the hands of two young pilots.

The original "Robotech" was a re-edited and re-dialogued to combine three Japanese anime series to give the producers enough episodes to air as a daily syndicated series.

Craig Zahler ("The Brigands of Rattleborge") has been tapped to write the screenplay.

So long as they don't screw it up. ;)

Hmmm...I don't think this will be very commercially successful, I'd like it to be...but Robotech (the RPG, the TV show, the Movies) has always been a niche thing in America.

I hope that Kevin goes for an entirely different audience than Pally Gamers (in fact I hope he doesn't go for the RPG ausience at all).

I hope the rules are so simple a 12 year old could play it, but enjoyable by a 40 year old. I also ope they are evocative of the characters.

I hope he goes for the new Movie's asthetic.

I hope the new movies asthetic is something we can all enjoy!

Really, even if I don't like it...I hope he does something that sets him up for success!

Quote from: Bradford C. WalkerSo long as Kevin Siembieda runs Palladium Books, sweet fuck-all will change and Palladium's products will continue to be single nuggets of awesome drowned in a great pile of suck.

Sooo...we shouldn't expect you as a caller on Kevin Siembieda Live?
