Palladium Books Press Release

First, the bad news:

Robotech®: The Masters Saga™ Sourcebook – December or January Release. Please don’t groan. This book is going to be epic. All new art and a ton of new, never-before-seen material – new mecha, new power armor, new weapons, new gear, new data and all the rest that you know and love. Epicness takes time and dedication. After a production meeting between Jason Marker and Kevin Siembieda, and after talking with the four main artists, we do not think we can get the Masters Saga out before Christmas. At least not without rushing the art and writing, and this is one book we do NOT want to rush. We are still shooting to get it done as fast as possible. In fact, we are still shooting for a December release, but it seems unlikely. We’ll see. Fear not, you will love this sourcebook.


And no sign of the cover art for the Masters Saga sourcebook yet. :(

And now, the good news:

Coming in 2009: Mysteries of Magic™ (Palladium Fantasy), Shemarrian Nation™, a Dead Reign™ sourcebook, Dimensional Outbreak™, Heroes of the Megaverse®, Armageddon Unlimited™, Megaverse® in Flames, Fleets of the Three Galaxies™, a Nightbane® sourcebook, Triax™ 2, Warpath™: Urban Jungle™ RPG (we hope, in time for the Palladium Open House!!), Robotech®: New Generation sourcebook, and a heck of a lot more. You ain’t seen nothing yet. If this economic downturn doesn’t crush Palladium’s sales (and so far it has not), we have one amazing book after another planned for you. Best of all, 80% of the titles listed above are already written and awaiting final editing, rewrites and production.


That's right, folks. Palladium's working on a revised New Generation sourcebook. 2009's gonna be a great year. :D

Michael Bradley Unplugged

As reported by CaptainJLS, Michael Bradley's all-acoustic album, Lonely Soldier Boy II, will be out on Dec. 1st, 2008.

This is wonderful news for this Robotech fan who's birthday (Dec. 6th) will follow the album's release. I'm sure that I will order both the original album and the acoustic sequel in the future.

Chris Meadows (a.k.a. Robotech_Master) has been injured in a scooter accident

Taken from Justy Ueki on the Robotech.com forums:

I just got off the phone with Chris Meadows (the host of Space Station Liberty) and he was involved in an accident and broke his left leg below the knee.
At the time of this forum posting, he is still in the hospital and should be discharged within the next couple of days.
He's going to be off of it for the next 6-8 weeks, and will have physical therapy afterwards.
Hopefully he'll heal quickly and heals well.
Please send him your warm wishes by going to his contact page at http://terrania.us/emailme.htm

I want to wish Chris a speedy recovery.


I, too, want Chris to make a full recovery.
