Question about Licensing?

Clay, Not saying that I want to do it for sure or anything, but I want to understand a bit more about your licensing for OVA. Where would a product like a fantasy campaign PDF that used used straight OVA for the rules content, but focused primarly on the campaign setting. The only mechanics aspect w...

Knock knock, anyone home.....

Hiya, just been checking the site for the last week or so, and seen no or little activity. I am still very excited about the game, but have been restraining adding new posts/content based on the lack of activity. Just wondering Clay if you have sent a Copy of OVA to HaveGamesWillTravel.net, a gaming...

Not too sure about these. Dependancy: Fuel for a mecha is like Dependancy: Food and water for regular characters. I'm assuming that mecha need some type of fuel source to operate, unless they have Life Support +5, in which case there is no external source needed. Sort of, real helicopters have a ve...

Sounds good

Hiya, That sounds good, here are a few other little things you might want to consider. I wouldn't make the armor add to defense, rather I would say that occupants can be targeted, but get 1/4 or 1/2 cover as per the cover rules. Normally by the mecha write-up you have destroy the vehicle first Anoth...

The Age of Sailing Ships - Rules for Pirates!

Age of Sailing Ships! For my Demon Isles Campaign, I will be making quite a bit of use of Sailing Ships, and hopefully a few ship fights. I don’t want a tactical game though, I want to use what is already there in the rule for OVA to make it flow. While everything I am about to say (I think) could ...

Tales of the Otori Inspired Abilities

Just wanted to contribute some abilities that I am going to be putting into my game to share/get comments. Both come from the Tales of the Otori Books featuring ninja-like-characters of the Tribe. New Ability: Cast Shadow – You can project a semi-solid illusion of yourself to decieve others, and to ...

Regarding FUDGE

I too at one time was trying to use FUDGE as my game of choice. I tend to be a GM that likes to focus on the ideas and flavor of a place instead of the rules. But I started to get into it, and to be honest from my personal perspective, made my brain hurt. I scrapped all my ideas, and went back to pl...

I think I will just continue to put what I write up here on the boards for the general OVA audience, as long as that is OK with everyone (espically clay). I am not really in the book or gaming buisness, and wouldn't even want to consider trying to get into it at this time in my life. I'm just a fan....

Again thanks Clay for the clarifications. Just want to make sure I have this straight then, for the rules as written, You use combat skill or Hobby, plus agility to make an attack in general, and use defense or hobby, plus quickness to make a defense in general. The only current exception to that in...

Thanks for the input! Just a quick clarification though, I could reduce the endurance cost, but rather I wanted to use the focus ability, as it is a bit more intuitative to me, and matches up more with the other characters in the book. Plus, of course I need the -2 focus to balance out the rest of t...

Hey there, Tokyosteve!! Welcome to the boards!! I like your campaign ideas, and--if I may--I would point you to my OVA Fan Site. TBP I checked out your site. Quite nice, useful without being fussy. I would have my own site as well, but I already run one website (a guild site for a certain MMORPG), ...

The First Character! Bonnie Wee Katie!

Argghhh matey, more Pirate fun for OVA and the Demon Isles. The next installement is a player character with stats. Just a couple of things: - I tried to match the "style" of the main characters in the OVA book for the write ups. - If they seem like the main characters in the OVA book, you...

Another Question...

Another Question...I should have asked the first time... Question 5 - Do the perks from Weapon and Power Move stack if the power move is with the weapon? I really have no idea on this one. On the one hand it would make sense if I have Wepaon +3 (ie. spent the points for it) to apply to another abili...
