Re: Exalted conversion?

Converting Exalted to OVA is something that comes up with surprising frequency on these forums.

You can see some threads discussing it
here,
here,
and here.

Actually, that third post is one by you!

You can also find some notes on converting OVA to d10s here.

Re: A Question about the Paralyzing Perk.

The intent was that a number of rounds pass equal to the Level of the Ability that inflicted the Paralyzed perk. Usually Attack.

Re: Thank you

Thanks. It's always great to hear that people are enjoying the game, especially with feedback as kind as this. My goal with OVA was always to make things easy that are unreasonably hard in many other systems, so it means a lot to hear I've succeeded in that regard.

Re: Shin Megami Tensei: OVA Edition

With the recent release of Persona 5, I'm sure there's more than a few people interested to see how this turns out!

...unfortunately I'm still way back on Persona 1, and the only SMT game I actually completed was Revelations for the GBC. If only my nature didn't require playing them in order!

Re: "Temporary" weapons

It's difficult to buck long-standing traditions of RPGs, and one of those is that a weapon is a separate entity from the character and has a specific damage rating/roll/etc. associated with it that is unchanging. Of course there's nothing wrong with that, and using Gear or simply handwaving a sort o...

Re: Over-the-top Idea

I'm making a note here, huge success!

GLaDOS references aside, just wanted to say I appreciate the effort you've put into fleshing out this idea for other OVA players.

Re: Question: Battletech Conversion

Battletech was also my introduction to "giant robots" since I somehow missed out on Robotech when I was a kid. You may want to consider taking Endurance and revising it to be a sort of Heat pool. That is, all the Abilities and Perks generate Heat, counting up from zero instead of down fro...

Re: Unnoticeability Power

Generally, if you have a power that can be abused to recreate a myriad of effects, you should consider taking Magic, Arcane and reskinning it. For example, for gravity control can include Flight, Telekinesis, and so on. You could include Magic, Witchcraft too, for inflicting things like Slow or Weak...

Re: Formatting a campaign as a cour

If you're going for a "school" setting, it's fairly easy to set up a lot of those episodes based around exams as the primary conflict. Since it's "just" a test, there's room all around for role-play opportunities and/or introducing the actual bad guys you'll feature in later epis...

Re: First character and some questions

Hey Pielover! Welcome to the forums. I apologize for my slow reply. As I mentioned in another post I've been tied up with work lately. I think you have an interesting character here with a unique weapon! Though, personally, I might tone down one or more of Barrier , Attack , and Combat Expert Abilit...

I'm back

Hey everyone. Sorry for my lack of presence on these forums. I had a series of tight work deadlines and haven't had time for anything, really. I'm going to do my best to go through the last couple months of posts and put in my two cents where warranted. Sorry in advance for necroing so many topics. ...

Re: I need a mechanic for a future Magical Girls campaign

Debatably you can use the existing "Drama Die" as that resource. Spend it the normal way (get a free die) or use it for this special effect in the manner you describe. Why 1–11 though? Spinal Tap jokes aside, 1–10 seems like a more typical scale, and 1–5 is more in line with the rest of OV...
