I don't know if anyone here has been following it already (or would be inclined to, given its provenance); but there has been a Kickstarter campaign in the works for a tabletop game called Robotech: RPG Tactics, which for now is exclusively based on the Macross-derived portion of that side of things.

It had an initial funding goal of US$50,000, but has now reached over a million US dollars at this point, with just over a day to go before it's locked in.


While it shows just how much money there is out there to be thrown at the concept, one wonders how much of that funding is there because it's "Macross" (or rather, the closest one can get to it in the West at present), because it's "Robotech" (for those who buy into Harmony Gold's universe), or because it's "Unseen" (in the sense that many of the actual units involved have a somewhat convoluted history of their own over in BattleTech).
