What were the Mechanoids comics?
In 1991, a small, independent comics company called Caliber Press released a licensed comic book based on the Mechanoids RPG by Palladium Books. Each issue cost $3.50 US and each 48-page issue contained a RPG supplement updating the “Homeworld” section of the Mechanoids RPG (Book Three) for the Mega-Damage system. The comic was originally scheduled for five issues, but Caliber fell drastically behind schedule and issues #4 and #5 were never released. A brief description of the “supplement” section of each comic follows: Issue #1: Introduction, a FAQ section about the myths about what RPGs are, the history of the RPG, Glossary, character creation, Alignments (stolen directly from Robotech; the Robotech character names used as alignment examples were left in :), Experience, Setting (1 pages covering the time between the original RPG and the Comics), 5 pages of O.C.C.s (5 total, one with an error).
