The Mechanoid Invasion (and its source books, supplements and sequels) was the first role-playing game from Palladium Books, conceived and written by Kevin Siembieda, with contributions from Erick Wujcik[1].
The Mechanoid Invasion centered around a powerful, malevolent, and numerous race of bio-driven machines that had come to invade a planet called Gideon E that was colonized by humans. In its original edition, published in 1981,[2] the game was published as a series of three comic-book sized sourcebooks:[3] The first, The Mechanoid Invasion, dealt with the eponymous invasion of Gideon E, the second, Journey, dealt with human survivors living within a mechanoid mothership after the destruction of the Gideon E colony and introduced "minor magic and some psionics",[4] and the third, Homeworld, dealt with the Mechanoid homeworld itself. The first book was revised and republished in an expanded form in 1985,[5] and then all three as one compiled work in 1998.[6]
