Settle a (friendly) dispute. In our first game tonight, the players and myself disagreed in the interpretation of the rules regarding these perks. Specifically the wording "a quarter of your opponent’s total Health" and "If this attack ever deals half of an opponent’s total Health&quo...

Is there anything in the rules to stop players creating attacks on the fly to add to their suite if they don't quite have one that covers the situation?

Just trying to get my head around determine TV. With the following character, I've worked out a TV of 13. Attack roll of 5, defensive roll of 5 pkus a DX of 3. Is that right? Agile 2 Attack 2 Barrier 2 Evasive 1 Flight 1 Healer (Self only) 1 Knowledge - UrbEx 3 Quick 1 Telekinesis 2 Tk Strike (accur...

I'm considering using OVA as a replacement rule system for a game featuring Teenage psychics. One of the things I need to consider is how to make psionic abilities a finite resource (the original game used Psi Points) and it seems like making psychic abilities use a minimum of 1 endurance per use. T...

Is there any way to moderate new users? Some sites I've been too, the first few messages to the forum have to be moderated and you don't get PM privileges until you've posted to the boards a few times.

£30 quid from Amazon, or £30 quid from lulu. Not really much choice between the two is there? At least the non POD might be better quality (possible even in colour?)

It reminds me a little too much of the Difficult/Hazardous/Impassable terrain rules from DnD4E.

I'm not sure its actually needed in a rules-light game like OVA, which tends towards narrative and descriptive style combat, rather than minis and terrain maps.

Apparently, when you search on Amazon, it only searches on the local store you're viewing, with no option to search across Amazon globally. No wonder I couldn't find a copy on Amazon.co.uk No all I need to do is wait for about a month for both the USPS and the Royal Mail to actually get off their ar...

When I'm GMing, I don't give EXACT difficulty or target numbers, just vague descriptions of the difficulty: "You should be able to pull it off with little effort" or "That sounds a bit challenging" that sort of thing. Mainly so that if things are going badly for the player's (or ...

I'm not entirely sure that its needed. As you say, existing rules handle this sort of stuff well already. A few games I play have the ability to spend points (In Unisystem its Drama Points, in M&M Hero Points) for plot twists. Basically the "I'm stuck and need a little help here". In b...

That's a damn good idea.

I've noticed that in a lot of anime, the protagonist will get their ass kicked over and over throughout some fights. But just as they're about to lose, the hero music kicks in, the eyes open wide with the killer instinct and they let loose their full awesome power. What would be the best way to hand...

Well, in the series I'm planning to run the character's will have mecha that is about 2x the size of an adult human. The alien mecha, who are their main opposition, are about 1.5x to 2x as large (3x-4x human size). The human mecha will be faster and more agile while the human mecha will be stronger ...

Should Mecha automatically start with levels in Size, and should they use the same "scale" as levels would mean for a person?
