Thanks for all the suggestions and advice!

Thanks Clay. I've been busy as well lately. Hopefully you'll beat me to it. I'd rather have an official sheet than make one myself. LOL!

I'm working on something. I don't know when I'll be done, but I'll let everyone know when it is completed. I'll also check with Clay before posting it. I don't want to do anything to infringe on copyright.

I would hand wave it, but it's vital to the story to know what languages the characters can and cannot speak.

I'm wanting to run a fantasy type game in the vein of D&D, Pathfinder, etc. How would you handle multiple languages in your game? I was thinking maybe allowing the players to start with one language for free, and then they can have additional languages equal to any levels they have in Smart. I c...

I was wondering if anyone had made up a quick reference page that (very briefly) describes what each Ability and Weakness does, that could be printed out and given to players to speed up character creation?

I like to give a free round of actions to whichever side got "the drop" on the other. If it isn't clear who would get to act first, I usually just determine it randomly. I run savage worlds a lot. That's pretty much how it's done in that system.

Wow! I thought that might be the case, but wasn't sure. Thanks for response Clay!

That is correct. Purchasing Attack only increases the DX your character has. Of course, you're able to increase the DX of each individual Attack Variation, but that costs Endurance. Ah. Okay. By taking the "Effective" perk. Gotcha. I guess my only question then is what is the limit on cha...

Yeah. I was a little confused. At first, I thought you need to purchase a level in Attack for each type of attack you wanted to be able to use. For example, say I wanted to have a character have an ice blast and a fire blast. Clearly they are both types of attacks but each one has a different affini...

Some questions regarding Attacks. Does it cost nothing to create an attack during character creation? You just add up any Perks and Flaws making sure the total cost is at Zero? Or are attacks created just like abilities? For example, I create an attack that is just Accurate (+5). Would I need to tak...

I'll be running the game for my wife and 11 year old daughter. Both of whom are anime and RPG fans in general. My daughter will probably want me to run a "Magical Girl" campaign similar to Sailor Moon. I can't wait to get my copy in the mail. I've been looking forward to this for a long ti...

Awesome! I'd love to see something like this as well.

Hello everyone. I just purchased my print copy of OVA from the buy button on the WiseTurtle website. Thought I would drop in and say hello. I've been GMing RPGs for about 25 years now, and really loved BESM. When I first heard about OVA, I knew I had to have it. :D I'm looking forward to getting my ...
