Okay... we are still working.

The current plan for the first release is a 50-card 2-player Beta Starter. The Starter will consist of 2 25-card decks (1 Earth, 1 Zentraedi), a rulebook/playmat and some other bonuses. It will only be available through hobby channels and Robotech.com.

Well...that leaves Masters War and Invid War fans out cold. Thank you very f*cking much....as if we didn't get $hit on enough.

CROM laughs at your card games.

I remember back in my Artclass my Senior year we had to come up with a card design. Everyone was doing the various styles of sports and junk with really basic designs.

I was the ONLY ONE who thought of a Collectible Card game cause they weren't really that hot yet. I designed an entire Macross 7 game where you can be a UN forces, Sound Force or Protodevlin character from the series, have a range of attacks, defenses and specials and the object was too decrease ones level of Spiritia to 0.

I also did the entire card game thru photoshop and MSN Paint and recieved the highest grade in the class for it. Alot wanted to see a finished product but I told 'em no way and scrapped the game soon after. It got way to complex for even me to understand.

Are people still playing collectable card games?

I could have sworn they went out with the Macerena, Dawson's Creek and Sienfeld.

Why wouldn't the card game begin with the first series of Robotech? If it started with The Masters portion everyone would wonder WTF happened. It only makes sense to start with Macross and then progress.

[areaseven]

Pfft. Collectible card games are so '90s. When will the Robotech franchise ever get into the 21st century?

Yes, but Yugioh and Pokemon resurrected them.

For gradeschool kids...

Any adult seen by me with a Yugioh deck in his hands, unless he is shoving it down some 10 year old's throat, will be made fun of with loud report.

... and anyway I thought even the gradeschool set was beyond the CCG stuff at this point, aren't they?

I know some adult people that are heavily into the Yugioh thing.

I let it slide, 'cuz they're good people otherwise.

anyways...

"It will only be available through hobby channels and Robotech.com."

Now it's bound to be a commercial success!

Tactical minis games (D&D, Warhammer, Axis & Allies, etc.) are the big thing right now. In fact, if they did a Robotech minis game, I'd consider buying into it, depending on how good the sculpts were.

[Skull Leader]

Ordinarily I do not lower myself to making blanket stupid statements, but this announcement just begs for one and I'm in a patricularly vindictive mood:

People who play a RT CCG are gay fags.

Secondly... only available through RT.com and certain hobby outlets? How can the game spread or expect to find enough players if the distribution points are so serverely limited? This is like asking a business to just throw money away.

I would not only laugh at players of such a card game, I would probaby steal their lunch money and beat them up. I'd steal their girlfriends and make pr0n with them too, but such characters are likely to have the sexual charisma God gave the average rock and as such, HAVE no girlfriends to steal (or if they did, I wouldn't want to touch them)

(LOL, could you imagine cards from "The Super Secret HARMONY GOLD COLLECTOR'S pack"? A super rare card!!! I can see it now: "TONY OLIVER! I CHOOSE YOU!!")

And yet your signature says:

Agent One took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours. If you're thinking to yourself, "That's impossible, I already lost my virginity.", then you are dead wrong.

MGREXX is my bitch

Don't worry, once you get past the denial and accept it, you can step out of the closet a proud man.

The variable dynamics of a Valkyrie would be difficult to replicate in a tac-mini game, you would potentially need 3 different sliders/dials, or otherwise indicate with modifiers. It seems cool at first (it works well enough for Mechwarrior: Dark Ages), but it would be difficult also because of the high speed at which most Macross combat takes place... especially when you consider that most combat was "one shot, one kill" sort of things.(there were exceptions, but those were reserved for story characters). Wouldn't make for a very interesting game unless several liberties were taken (ALA the Palladium roleplaying game)

Greatness such as Agent one's transcends all gender boundaries. It is eternal.

This thread is cool, and by 'cool' I mean totally sweet.

If it were me, I'd go for a capitol ship scale set-up. Do the valks as squadrons instead of as individuals.

LOL! Thanks, Skull Leader, that made my day!
