What newsgroups are there for Palladium RPGs?
Currently, there are no newsgroups devoted exclusively to Palladium games. But they are on-topic in rec.games.frp.misc. The Robotech RPG is also occasionally discussed in the alt.tv.robotech newsgroup. Robotech, Macross II and (to a lesser extent) Rifts are also on topic in rec.games.mecha, but only in dealing with the mecha/RPA elements of those games (designs, variants, histories, etc.). One of the former moderators there even wrote a decent amount of Robotech material (Chris Meadows), though he’s moved on to concentrate on other games. However, less than 1% of the traffic there is currently Palladium related, and 90% of it Battletech-related (the rest being Heavy Gear & Mekton). Palladium recently expanded its web page, and installed several bulletin boards (similar to news groups) for their games, as well as a board for buying and selling used games. They have also opened multiple chats on the page – some for discussion and conversation, others reserved for online gaming.
