Now, now... don't discount all of us hard-core gamers too quickly :) After all, we're the compulsive junkies who will buy two or three copies for the gaming group... People raised on Record of Lodoss War instead of D&D. I think it's an untapped market, and it was who OVA was really made for. Oh,...

I read the Chobits manga in its entirety as each volume was published, but found myself rather unsatisfied by the anime. I saw the anime first, and liked it in general, but when I picked up the manga, I was hooked. My basic thought was that the manga took the time to better explain some of the intr...

Wow, Wolfson, you mean someone else watches Rune Soldier? Impossible! Heh... Yeah, a friend of mine turned me on to it. He wanted to use the setting and story line to run a game set in my omake world and, after I saw the first few episodes, I bought myself a copy. And then the manga (which is possi...

Ah... It's all such a broad topic these days: There's usually a little something for everyone. I have to thank my friend, Darkling, for broadening many of my horizons. While my list tends to change on a daily basis, I suppose I'd put my preferences as: Anime: El Hazard (the original OVA), El Hazard:...

Cool!

My players will be ecstatic... as soon as they get over the shock of me announcing that we'll commence playtesting ASAP. The last they heard, I had no time frame, so I was telling them not to stress over it.

I'm going to go check it out now...

Heh...

I guess that would explain why all my recent posts are missing.

I'm so fed up with computer 'glitches' that I could spit, but I guess that's all a part of the Information Age.

As for the board being "dead," I had been very busy over the week before this was posted. Since then, there was an unfortunate server outage. I really apologize for all the delays. I totally understand 'busy'. But I was wondering what happened to the forum for the last few days, since I w...

Pretty much agreed on all counts. :cry: I've played BESM since the 1st Edition was published, and have tried to help support GoO as best as I could... But sometimes this is the fate of gaming companies, small or large. In my *mumble-mumble* years of gaming, I've seen a number of companies come and g...

Oh man, I'm glad I wasn't part of that game. *laughs* I'm such a sap. I think I'd be an emotional cripple for the rest of the game. Heh... Well, the GM does have to know his players to some degree. :wink: There are some players whom I would be willing to do certain things to their characters that I...

Good idea... Thanks

I've just been lazy, and resort to descriptive combat, rather than minis... Mostly because I just don't have the time to paint the little suckers - at least to my satisfaction.

Pirates may be the more "useful" one to go after. I'm almost certain it's a genre OVA will not be tackling in the near future. Yarrrr! And pirates is actually a fairly well-used anime convention, if you think outside the box... You've gotta remember Captain Harlock. I've seen a few other ...

The default setting takes place in space...so a simple series of papers taped together with a 1 inch grid would suffice fine. It's all good... I'm sure it will be easy enough to adapt, although I'm sure my players will find some way to complicate it ("Let's hid in that asteroid field...")...

Heh... I've done that before :twisted: I bought a packaged adventure once upon a time... The death of some random NPC was supposed to act as a catalyst for it, and it occured to me that no one was likely to get too motivated over the death of some stranger they didn't know. So I introduced her about...

Hmmm... I hadn't really thought too hard about this, but I wonder how hard it would be to convert some BESM stuff into OVA. I had previously done a bunch of work on converting 7th Sea (or Swashbuckling Adventures , if you use the D20) into BESM, which included designing a whole bunch of sailing ship...

It's a completely optional component. The only reason I want to stress it in playtest is because it's completely new and, as such, possibly completely broken. Heh. Well, it doesn't end up by having to be too complex, I guess... On another post, you guys are talking about WizKids' Pirates game, whic...
