Yikes indeed, but a magical newbie is never forbidden from casting a difficult, inspiring spell...it's just dreadfully costly for him to do so. Unless said newbie is also secretly an Endurance Reserve that can only be unlocked by her love interest who is also her magical familiar and OH GOD I SPOIL...

I hope you've perfected your oujo cackle :3

I think the big issue is that a lot of us take what we see, and we don't 'see' an out for these characters. Not asking for one, but I think that's the issue with Natsuki. I find that unfortunate, especially with a open setting like OVA. I actually thought the backstory had enough to make Natsuki mu...

I was going to mention I could easily envision another PC pulling Natsuki aside and cut a promo on her, but I was dazzled by a strange epiphany based on Daph's one description of her. Full of herself and well-connected? It's Castle!

In regards to appropriateness, not everyone wants to play the hero. Natsuki's resources are an easy counter: they just don't work as intended. Throwing money at a problem could leave a paper trail (and future plot hooks). Knowing a guy (figure of speech) may give the group access to that top-secret ...

I would definitely be up for a revival of my music-themed tokusatsu game. I also figure OVA would be great for a game in the Familiar of Zero canon, but I've lost my tolerance for that show.

Note: Just my opinion, but... After re-reading, it's pretty obvious that Natsuki is supposed to be an antagonistic character, cut from the Akiko Natsume mold (among others). That being said, she's not unplayable. What you really need is a good hook to justify her presence in the party. If a high-ran...

This is one of those things where you never encounter it in real life, but then you think about it and it's like "Wait, what?"

How do Drama Dice interact with someone rolling 0 or less dice? Is it as dumb (read: hilarious) an idea as I think it is?

Only in for $30 due to financial reasons, but look at all the crap I'm getting! (As of June 1)

• Hard Copy with jacket
• Digital Copy
• eBook copy
• OVA App
• Reference Bookmark
• Custom Dice (likely)
• Seven Seas Rules

I wonder how far we need to stretch to get to the White Box/Red Box-esque version x3

Never really felt the Google+, and I like some of the bells and whistles roll20 provides.

I'm hoping I can do the JRPG thing with my NPC's. That be so bitchin'.

I was wondering if anyone here was on it and what their thoughts were about it. I have an account there, and will likely run my next OVA game there, at least in part.

I really need to reword "playtest" as it seems to continually draw the same red flags from everyone. I just mean a general buffing and sanding of the rules, looking for typos and errors, that sort of thing. No DRASTIC changes to the game will be made nor will it result in any appreciable ...
