there's also a second scenario, but for some reason the downloaded file is corrupted and can only be read online. I just learned that it's my Adobe Acrobat that needs an update. The file has no problem at all. That's pretty impressive! It took a lot of effort to recreate the layout of the actual bo...

I was looking around for inspiration for my next OVA adventure, so I looked around for info/scenarios for the Anima Beyond Fantasy rpg, a spanish game with a not-so-good clunky system, but a wonderful anime setting. And then on the site http://trecetigres.com I found a OVA 2nd edition scenario &...

This is one of the opponents the characters had to face in last scenario. Sky Knights are armored troopers equipped with shields and hi-tech lances that can shot projectiles or be used as melee weapons. Sky Knight http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/MHlancer_305.png Armored 1 (light hi-tech...

Gear is a bit of a tricky ability to use True, unfortunately there's no sample character that uses it, maybe that's why I never used it. :) Anyway I think that Focus is more indicated for what I mean, I noticed that every attack ability has a sort of specialization indicated (es: Karis has "At...

If you're looking for equalness among Attack ability, you can either restrict the level the character's can get, or apply Focus to Raine, so he'd only have his higher Attack level for what he specializes in (swords, for example). Yes! That's exactly what I meant. I never used Focus or Gear much, bu...

Characters are able to generate "attacks" on the fly at any time, which do not cost any character points. Yes, but I think I read somewhere that characters should not have more than 4/5 different attacks (correct?). I also prefer to avoid using the same Attack skill of the characters, usi...

I know that in most anime weapons are usually part of the character, being them the signature weapon (Vash's gun, Goemon's katana, Guts' Dragonslayer and so on), anyway, for a particular (more "realistic"/deadly/mundane) setting I need to separate weapons from characters. Anyone tried this...

Worst game of the year was the first I played: it was a one shot horror adventure inspired by the anime Monster Mosquiton and Call of Cthulhu, set on a zeppelin. The game was ok, but it wasn't really horror because I forgot to make some houserules to create a lethal enviroment. By the way combat was...

Jake (Ghost?), amnesiac thief http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/front_mission_conceptart_g4MSj.jpg Jake is the thief of the group and he is identical to a famous thief and hacker, nicknamed Ghost, that disappeared immediately after being arrested by the police. Jake isn't as skilled as him but everyone bel...

James & Jordan Doe, psychic twins http://i.neoseeker.com/ca/frontmission2_conceptart_Rbrs9.jpg These two orphans are mystery: somebody believes that they are the sons of a psychic and a shamaness, others says that they are the same person coming from two separated dimensions. Nobody knows the t...

Ok, it's a loooong time since I posted here, but we never stopped playing OVA (revised edition, of course), so here's something new: The setting is vaguely inspired to Suda51 games (Killer7, Killer is Dead and so on) and features a cast of bizarre characters working for a mysterious woman, Lilith, t...

You're right. It's like Filthy Rich that became Wealthy... my mistake!
I own both editions so sometimes I make mistakes

Interesting... I realized that the whole ability could be made with a "packages of abilities" such as: Flunkies (rat swarm) Knowledge: train rodents Another weird character I'll have is a blind ranger that can perceive every living being as long he's outside (has penalties when indoor, and...

I've a question: one of the characters in the next scenario will be a scavenger with a strange ability: he can mind control rats, call and control them, see through their eyes and so on... The question is: do you think it should be a standard ability or it should be considered a knowledge/narrow/spe...

I don't know, maybe it's a good idea but since I will use it for a sort of western/horror setting I'd avoid a "fixed" damage system (that would be otherwise perfect for a more lighthearted game). A variable damage (like in the official rules) with the possibility of one-shot death would be...
