Because of a silly mistake on my part, the color of links your mouse cursor was hovering over was not displaying correctly. Not hard to fix, but it meant I had to re-upload every single html file on the site. Not fun since I don't have FTP access (everything is done through a web interface, sadly, and I have to select files individually). All is corrected now.
While I'm taking the time, I might as well mention why I decided to update after this six month hiatus. First, let me say that I never abandoned the site. I just lost track of how long it had been since I'd updated. Secondly, I read the June, 2006 press release from Palladium's website and this one line restored all my faith in the company...
"Palladium has high hopes that it can reacquire and relaunch its legendary Robotech RPG line with new and old product made available in various mediums."
Now, I've been upset at Palladium's poor decisions in the past when it comes to what they've been releasing (reprints and rehashes of stale Rifts product), but this... Robotech has a HUGE fan base that surely eclipses Rifts. It had its nay-sayers, but Robotech fans and RPG fans bought Robotech product; the interior art was almost all fantastic, the text was terrific, and let's not forget the simple fact that it had transformable mecha... The Robotech line from Palladium was what really got me hooked on buying their stuff back in the early 90's, and it was the first of their game lines I completed my collection of. I moved on to Rifts and Heroes Unlimited after that, but my real love was always for Robotech (and the miniscule Macross II line). If they'd publish new Robotech stuff or even just updated versions of the Robotech stuff, I'd buy it up rabidly. My entire spending budget for RPG books would surely go to Robotech if there was product enough to spend it on. Do you know what I'd give for a Robotech Second Edition from Palladium? What I'd give for a hardcover of said book? What I'd give to see a Robotech cover done by Scott Johnson or John Zeleznik (hint, hint)? Gimme, gimme, gimme...
Oh, and let's not forget new PFRPG books (no one slap me for this, but I'd still love to see a d20 PFRPG book put out. Fat chance of that, though; that's something I think Palladium might never understand), and the Atorian Empire book for HU/AU. Couple all of that with Palladium's new policies on customer interaction, and I think they might be poised to retake the RPG world.
Now if only we could get the new Mechanoids book...

22 June, 2006 UPDATE #2
As mentioned in today's first update, I was aware of a couple display problems under Firefox. I've re-written the code to a) correct a formatting problem in my code that Internet Explorer still displayed properly, and b) change the method I was using to control the colors or links on these pages (as it appears Firefox ignored the old method for whatever reason).

22 June, 2006
Brought the site up to date be addressing the following items:
- Added a listing for The Best of the Rifter
Three new authors were added, as well, for Brandon Aten, Daniel Bishop, and Taylor White.
As always, these changes prompted numerous small changes to other secondary pages.
I'd also like to note that I'm aware of a display problem under Firefox. It's entirely my fault, and I'll be addressing it soon.

I did a small overhaul on the site today to remove all of the Amazon.com stuff from the site. It looked ugly and wasn't making me any money anyway. Note that I didn't change the "Last Updated" dates on any of the affected pages to lower the confusion level that might arise as casual visitors try to sort out what I changed.
While I was at it, I added a new listing page for Splicers product line. Since the first book in the series isn't out yet as I type this, consider the listing there as subject to change (the information should all be good, but it still needs a cover scan).
