Re: OVA Fan Sites

Its been awhile since I have created a new topic, but I created a new page that makes it easier to view specific posts. Clay, could you update your link to this new one? https://zalmute.wordpress.com/inheritance-of-mana/ I am still needing some help in balancing my species/races. I intend on sometim...

How did you get caught up in this quest/

Just for fun, describe a character in your current game and what their motivations are for doing what they are doing. If you want to stat them, be my guest! I am just interested in hearing what other heroes (and possibly villains) are up to in OVA. 8)

Re: distributing free supplements?

What is The Turtle's position on fans distributing free supplements? Basically, I want to come up with a bunch of templates for characters (fighter, thief, magic-user, paladin, star pilot, etc), magic systems (elemental based, psionics, etc), and specific abilities/weaknesses added for that world/c...

OVA review...but incorrect

I saw this review just today and it surprised me how much the reviewer got wrong. He claims there isnt any ability to handle pokemon trainer or customized transformations. Maybe he ought to have read the book before writing a review? http://gaiusludusen.blogspot.com.br/2015/06/gaigaias-thoughts-revi...

Inheritance of mana- OVA campaign idea

Hello fellow shelled warriors! My other campaign is on hold as the players that were most interested in that setting are busy. Though I have another ova campaign that I have been working off and on for about a year now. It began as a project for besm 3rd edition however I converted it to OVA. This i...

Re: Transformation issues

First, congrats on your first post! I think the idea of limited number of transformations could still work when you consider that Ditto can only transform 5 times (pp) before having to get a item that restores pp or going to a pokemon center. This effect could also be preserved by your idea of havin...

Re: OVA - The retrievers

Thanks Clay! I intend on going with Power ceiling. If I recall, I am going to go with 5 points with power ceiling of 15. When making my NPC's with the same rules, it felt right to me. It felt like I had enough points to do what I wanted but my urge to branch out beyond their focus was diminished kno...

Re: OVA - The retrievers

So who are the token evil jerks players should go beat up? The short answer- anyone that is in the way of the players retrieving what item they were hired for is an antagonist. That said, they may not always oppose the group using fisticuffs. Now that could lead them from fighting gangers like the ...

Another piece I have been working on... Submission to a higher power As if there were not enough to worry about, something changed at the core of reality. A massive metaphysical event that caused many people to awaken psionic powers. Powers that originate only from the user with no external force ot...

Re: OVA - The retrievers

Good point. The psychic abilities that people manifest in this game is a good differentiator and should be something I touch more on. I could see normal people reacting with a lot of fear on this as well. I think I will think on this some more... For Races, i only cosidered humans for the setting th...

Re: OVA - The retrievers

I like the atmosphere in a way but my question is, the latest part to me seems like it could be dropped into shadowrun with no issues. How do I edit that to make it more unique to my setting? Do you think it works?

As the streets burn The police do what they can, but unfortunately it is not enough. Gang activity is multiplying, as is the escalating conflict between them. Two large gangs have emerged in the past few years, the sharks and the fangs. And while these two clash, the streets burn. On the streets, se...
