Ehy Liz! What do you think of Go Nagai's robots? Mazingers? Getter? Grendizer and Jeeg?

Liz do you have any plans to cover any of the source books, or possibly any of the mechwarrior video games?

Hey Liz, would you consider reviewing the videogames? I realize that's not really your field, but it'd be great to hear your opinions.
And where did you pull that Red Dwarf theme from? I haven't heard that version before...

I think it was from the first season, I'm not sure though...
...Also, Red Dwarf RPG?!?!
ZOMWN!!!

02.01.2012 - 08:19 | DracainDo you plan on doing the game of thrones RPG by Green Ronin? I am interested on hearing your take on it. Just thought I would ask while I wasn't super low on the list.

Another great review. I'm wondering if you'll even do a review of the Warhammer 40k RPGs?
I've never played a pen and paper RPG before, but I'd like to get into them, especially the ones for my favorite franchise, 40k.
Are those games good for a new player to get into?

how many more of these are there?

why do they not print blue and red 3d rpg books? i mean things like rifts are interesting, extraneous, and boring enough to even do the font in 3d.

Jihads. Houses. Some of Battletech seems derivative of the Dune books.

Homeworld! o3o
That's a thing, right?

Just the mear mention of "The Garbage Pail Kids Movie" makes both my eyes and ears vomit.
Why are you blaming George Lucas for a Star Wars RPG? Shouldn't you be blaming the company who made it?
Have a great time reviewing the Red Dwarf RPG.

I answered your complaint in the last video.
TLDR Version: FASA got rights from Twentieth Century Imports who got them from Studio Nue. Harmony Gold got them from Tatsunoko. There is a reason the first editions of Battledroids / Battletech had TCI model pack-ins. The entire rights issue with Macross/Robotech is a giant hot ghetto mess that was still being fought into the 2000's with the Tatsunoko and Studio Nue lawsuits.
Also, fun fact!
Battletech Release Date: 1984
Robotech Release Date: 1985

I think there must be a Red Dwarf RPG out there based on the cryptic message at the end of the video. If that is that true I look forward to bot the review and getting an on-cam shout out by the lovely Iron Liz :)

Gasp you don't know what Gun x Sword is! Go to Netflix and watch it right now or Hulu works too!

DAMNIT LIZ! I don't even play tabletop RPG's, and now I am fighting the urge to drop $50 on Amazon for a copy of this game!

I love watching your reviews!!

It's a mind-boggling nightmare and when I was done with the process I wasn't sure if I had done it right, but checking required me to do massive backtracking. And the other problem is that the final result didn't match my character concept at all!

Hello Iron Liz and thanks for the reviews.
Do you have plans to review RPG Game Systems too?
I was thinking on building up a Star Wars campaign using the Fate System but I wish to hear any opinions you have for any game system that are available and which one is good on what compared to the others.

Wait... there's a Red Dwarf RPG?! I'll have to stick around for the next review, then!
Also, I've been trying to find information on the various Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPGs, but so far, no luck. Any tips on where to find them?

Loved the review!
Im not a Player of oldschool style rpg games,
im more a Ps3 and so on, but i do appreciate the time and effort you take to do these reviews.
They are informative and fun, so I thank you.
I did have one question about the music. Have you ever thought about using OTHER iron maiden songs?
Im a powerslave fan, but 2 minutes is kind of over played in general.
There are other maiden songs, that depending on what your review is, that would suit the reviews better.
anyway, just a thought. Keep up the reviews!
sincerely,
A.M.D.

02.19.2012 - 22:27 | NotaoseAnother great episode can't what to see more and I would love to see your take on Deadlands.

I like the reviews, but after 5 viedos and half a year, I really want to see something other than Battletech. ^^
Also, could we have another fantasy game again?

So this is supposed to be Linkara's ex girlfriend? I admit I know close to nothing about this individual, but Linkara sure can do better than this? He's not unattractive and have a certain way of his being.
And to be honest I have to ask, is this person even a girl?? "IT" doesn't sound like one and certainly doesn't LOOK like one? "IT" doesn't even move like a girl?! Maybe it's one of those creepy male's who want to become women?
Could someone please tell me the story behind this person, and please do understand that I'm actually not trying to make fun of this person, I am genuinely curious and really confused what "IT'S" supposed to be =S
If "IT" really IS a lady (with that I mean BORN ONE and all that) I do apologize not realizing it myself.
