Re: Boss NPC Question
They cover a range of possibilities. Some are stronger than others, and some (like Acacia and Saspar) are meant to fight together. They can also be bolstered by extra NPC minions or make use of the Boss Abilities listed in the Game Master’s Section. If you still feel they’re too weak for your purpos...

Re: I have a question regarding character creation.
There's no strict limitation on either, so I can't really point you to a specific section in the rulebook to tame your Players'...creativity. That said, 3 Attacks generally does the job, and any more than 5 is getting excessive. Magic lists can run a little longer—but even then 5 "trademark&quo...

Re: I have two questions.
Yes, it's still perfectly okay to order books from my site. (In fact, it is currently the only place to get a hard copy of OVA.)

Re: Ur-Quan RPG file
Welcome to the boards, Mirrorman! Wow, that's a blast from the past. It took me a while to dig up the file, but I have restored it to its previous location for the time being. It's less a campaign setting and more a sample rules document for a tabletop version of the game. I think I had plans to exp...

It had its charms, though I'm afraid the time warp has to come to an end! The ACTUAL redesign is now live.

Re: Hand-Drawn Character Sheets
The dry-erase cards are gorgeous! So charming (and the flip-side drama die indicator is also really clever.) If I ever make a magical girl game, I'm going to have to get in touch!
BTW, did you get locked out of your old account? I could reset your password if you're not feeling True Blue after all.

Wise Turtle Site Redesign
I thought the Wise Turtle website was due for a makeover—by way of 2004!

A "Modern" RPG community
I grew up with mailing lists and web forums, so I tend to approach what makes an RPG community through those eyes. That said, I know things are different now. Social Media is a thing that's not going anywhere, and there are countless different ways to gather and share ideas. So where do you guys lik...

Re: Magic that changes perks/flaws
Welcome to the forums! This is never explicitly stated in the rules, but each +5 or -5 of Perks and Flaws is roughly equivalent to +1 or -1 in Ability/Weakness Levels. So you can use that as a starting point. (If you try to "take apart" certain Abilities, like Healer, you'll see they have ...

Re: Inventor questions
1) Theoretically: None. Realistically, these inventions have to be kept somewhere and made out of parts and in general financed. If a Player gets too long of a laundry list of inventions, it's probably a good idea to point out the limitations of personal inventory. Unless Dimensional Pocket enters t...

Re: Incorporeal form
Incorporeal Form is, basically, a fancy sort of defense, one that can fail. If you want someone to be incorporeal all the time, it's probably better to use the Resistance Ability instead, which has more concrete rules. You can see this applied to the "Ghost" NPC fragment in the back of th...

Re: Knowledges being added in combat
1)Is it possible to use knowledge to add to the damage multiplier. No. You can potentially justify the Knowledge as part of your Attack Roll, which will already boost Damage. 2) should knowledge be used in the attack roll as well as the damage multiplier simultaneously. As a general rule, nothing s...
