Well my little Palladiumites....another week has passed and here we are..
As usual....disclaimer - these commentaries will likely criticize Palladium Books. If you do not like that then DO NOT READ IT unless you are willing to actually discuss the issues rather than the typical "you haters", "you have no idea what you are talking about" and such. There are those of us here that DO in fact know what we are talking about and have been shown to be accurate and correct numerous times over the last few years all the while being told that we can't possibly know.
That being said here we go:

"Good News, Part One: The Coalition States Polo Shirt with Embroidered Emblem is DONE and ready to ship."
Cool. I like it and still want to get one.
"Good News, Part Two: ALL Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Rewards to Kickstarter backers in the United States have shipped."
Cool.
"Good News, Part Three: Canadian Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Kickstarter rewards have been shipping all week. "
Yep. Got my notification On Wednesday. Woot Woot.
"Good News, Part Four: Those of you who pre-ordered Robotech® RPG Tactics™ at Gen Con Indy and live in North America, your orders shipped today."
Er.....uh, Kevin? You just dicked over your overseas backers. You yourself promised in no uncertain terms when you decided to take pre orders at GenCon that any pre orders taken would NOT ship until all backer rewards were packed and shipped...not all North America backers, ALL backers. WTF DUDE?!?!?
"Overseas Kickstarter Backers: Only those of you overseas and outside the US and Canada remain."
And they are not bloody happy about it. Just go to Palladium's Official Facebook Page and the Kickstarter comments section....
"Good News Part Five: Robotech® RPG Tactics™ – in stores throughout the United States in time for BLACK FRIDAY Sales."
Again DUDE WTF?!?!?!? What happened to ALL BACKER REWARDS WILL BE SHIPPED BEFORE IT GOES TO RETAIL? Jesus this is a disaster in the making...
"Meanwhile, The Rifter® #68 is near completion and should go to the printer on Tuesday,"
So we will see it nearly 7 weeks late...which goes to show, they should have hired a damn company to do the order pulling and packing so they could actually run their normal business....
" and Bizantium and the Northern Islands™ (for Palladium Fantasy®) is coming along nicely as well."
Great. So, what? April? May? Before we see it the way you are going right now?
"UPDATE: Christmas Surprise Packages"
Good deal in the US. NOT so good outside the US.
"BACK IN PRINT! Villains Unlimited™ and Rifts® Sourcebook Two: The Mechanoids®"
Good. Both excellent books
"UPDATE: 2015 Palladium Open House – May 14-17, 2015"
Still going but now I may just have to pose a question to Kevin about how he actually thought breaking his word to his overseas backers was a GOOD idea and I damn well hope it was worth it to alienate any number of people that may have backed any future Kickstarters for this game.
"NEW! Robotech®: Expeditionary Force Marines Sourcebook One - January/February, 2015, release."
Pardon my french but not fucking likely. Maybe by summer IF we're lucky.
*sigh* That's all folks. See you next week.
