Robotech Role-Playing Game

Set in the world of the Robotech animated saga, this tabletop role-playing game from Palladium Books lets players create characters and take part in a war that spans generations. Humanity, struggling after an alien invasion, must defend Earth first against the Zentraedi and later against the Invid. Players can pilot giant transforming fighter mecha, serve in the Robotech Defense Force, and carry out missions across space and on the surface of a battered planet. The rulebook supplies the mechanics, character creation and background needed to run games in this setting, along with a sweeping story of heroism and sacrifice.
