This review is from: Invid Invasion (The Robotech Rpg Book Five) (Paperback)

The cartoon was why I got the book. I love the invid, and the mecha in it. The Shadow Alpha is alsome. It also tells how you can take player chearters from Robotech and put them in the fight with the invid. Oh how I love to fight alien scum let me count the ways.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book but it has some shortcommings, December 20, 1999

This review is from: Invid Invasion (The Robotech Rpg Book Five) (Paperback)

If your going strictly by the TV or novel storyline, you will love this book, even though it is missing some mecha (like Lancer's crashed veritech). The RPG story that Siembieda made up completely contradicts the ending of the TV show.

As a GM, I have found the best way to play this book is either changing the story so that the players replace Scott Bernard's group, or else plating it in another part of the world than North and South America. Even with the questionable exisence of the Vindicator, the book is very good overall

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Sourcebook to the Robotech RPG that allows you to play during The Invid Invasion timeline, February 25, 2006

This review is from: Invid Invasion (The Robotech Rpg Book Five) (Paperback)

The Invid Invasion Sourcebook allows players to experience Invid infested Earth with 7 new character classes, (One being a repeat) and over a dozen new skills included. REF and Invid mecha are presented in their entirety, (albiet ships and some noticeable mistakes) as well as some additional weapons and vehicles. Out of the 4 timelines, this book has the most background information incluing all NPC stats and extensive detail on the Invid. Fans of Robotech or the RPG can't go wrong buying this book.
