kickstarter had been canceled. Kevin Siembieda, owner of Palladium Books went on to announce on their kickstarter page: So it is with sadness and tremendous heartbreak that I announce that, despite our best efforts, we are unable to produce the Robotech RPG Tactics Wave Two rewards. Moreover, after proudly carrying the legacy of Robotech in the role-playing games medium for 30 years, our license has expired and is not being renewed. ...As part of our license agreement, Palladium has a short window (from now until the end of March) to liquidate our stock of Robotech RPG Tactics (RRT) products, Robotech Shadow Chronicles Role-Playing Game books, and the PDFs of the original Robotech RPG series currently available Palladium Books' Robotech license ended on March 31, 2018. Conversions Palladium is aggressive in preventing wide distribution of fan-made conversions of their games to other systems (such as the D20 System), and also strongly discourages converting the intellectual property of others into their system; while they cannot prevent it, doing so is not allowed in venues owned by Palladium Books. Palladium also routinely threatens legal action against fans who distribute conversions in other venues by issuance of cease and desist orders. When asked why Palladium was so much stricter in regard to conversions than other game companies, Siembieda stated that the policy had been adopted due to advice from Palladium's lawyers, to shield Palladium from liability for conversions of other parties' intellectual property. The sole exception to this policy is the licensing agreement held with Pinnacle Entertainment Group for conversion of the Rifts line to the Savage Worlds system.

Rifts Chaos Earth, a prequel to Rifts, set immediately after a war that triggers a magical apocalypse, opening dimensional gates that unleash monsters upon a technologically advanced future Earth. Dead Reign, a post-apocalyptic RPG where
