The Sentinels

If you don't buy the first RPG book, you should get this one. It has all the information you need to create a character, play the game, or be a GM. Its not quite as complete as the first book, but it is sufficiant. The only problems are the few instances where statistics are slightly wrong or missing, such as the size of the MTA Titan, which has wheels 100ft wide, not the whole thing being 100ft wide and also there is no Haydonite RCC even though there is an entire planet of them. The only other problem is that there is almost no mention of the Robotech Masters, even though the SDF-3 mission was to make peace with them. Fortunately this is made up for with the information on the REF and the invid. A good starting book if you don't intend to play Macross or Southern Cross.
