NOT JUST AN RPG...

NOT JUST AN RPG...

The random moments that Strange Machine Games 's Robotech RPG gives us in lore.... only make me want this journey they are taking Robotech on to last for many years to come!

Lonely Soldier Boy

"You know, I really thought that this would put an end to the nightmares. The feeling that I should have gone down with the rest of the squad. But then what would I know, I'm a typical foot slogger you know?

When they told me about this mission, these Cyclones and what they could do, I figured I finally had the chance to pay the bastard bugs back for the mates I lost; more weapons, heavier armor and the training to use the damn thing against the Invid.

It worked, it really did work, everything I needed to beat the tar out of Invid troops, missiles, rifles, pistols, anything and everything I could carry that allowed me to kill these things dead. I need to kill so many of them dead. I need to kill all of them dead.

If you ask me, a full troop in these things will break any Invid detachment you can name. You give it some fixed weapons, maybe a launcher or two... Perhaps a mounted laser cannon of some kind and you'd have something that would put the fear into those unfeeling slug bastards.

I tell you something though it's a shame my mates never made it here with me, they'd have had the time of their lives.

But it's just me now. Me and my ride. And it's a long road to Reflex Point"

ROBOTECH RPG - HOMEFRONT

*****

We need stories of other REF soldiers making the trek to Reflex Point. I have never believed that it was only Scott Bernard that survived the doomed initial attack.

More stories can only lead to...MORE ROBOTECH.

Before you go... if you haven't had a chance yet, check out the first trailer for our original fan audio drama, DEEP SIGNAL ONE: A ROBOTECH STORY, debuting this fall. YouTube link in the comments.

VIVA ROBOTECH!!!✌️

A EULOGY FOR A BIG BROTHER....

This passage is from the ROBOTECH RPG from STRANGE MACHINE GAMES.

​

*****

The Best of Us

​

When they told me that Roy Fokker had been shot down by enemy fire, I didn't believe it.

​

How could I?

​

Roy Fokker was an Ace Pilot. He'd had hundreds of kills. And he'd survived dozens of engagements in a profession where most don't average more than a few.

​

It couldn't have been Roy Fokker, because not only was he a great pilot, the best even, he was a great leader. He did his best to make sure every one of his pilots that could make it home got there.

​

But more than anything?

​

Roy Fokker couldn't be gone because he was my brother.

​

Not my real brother, though I felt like we were real brothers enough. We had different biological parents, of course, but didn't mean we didn't share my father, Pop. He was always there for me when I was a kid. He was always there for me since I've been in the service. He was always there for me. And now he won't be.

​

And I'm not quite sure how to deal with that.

​

And he was there to teach me everything I know about being a pilot. Everything I am came from my big brother. Sure, Pop taught me how to pilot an aircraft. But Roy taught me how to fly.

​

I looked up to him like any kid would look up to their older brother.

​

He was the best of us.

​

Everything that made me a reasonable person and pilot was the best of Roy.

​

He fought for all of us. Not just here, against the Zentraedi. He'd been fighting for us even during the war, even though I didn't realize then what it was he was doing. I thought he was being a selfish jerk and a proud killer. I wish I could tell him right now that I was wrong. He was protecting our way of life. That's all he did then, that's all he's done now.

​

Roy...I'm going to miss you.

​

Farewell... Big Brother...

*****

​

This hit me deep.

​

Roy's death affected so many including us, the fans.

​

It was the moment that you realized Robotech was something far beyond we would ever expect.

​

VIVA ROBOTECH!!!✌️
