description Robotech RPG Tactics Overview
Robotech RPG Tactics was a tabletop miniatures game from Palladium Books, developed with the studio Ninja Division, that adapted the 1980s Robotech anime into squad-scale mecha combat using plastic model kits of Veritechs, Destroids, and Zentraedi units. Its 2013 Kickstarter campaign raised about $1.4 million from more than 5,000 backers. Fulfillment failed badly: the first wave of miniatures shipped long after schedule, a promised second wave was never delivered, and Palladium eventually offered refunds and credit to backers. The project is now a frequently cited cautionary example of crowdfunding overreach in the tabletop games industry.
