Re: Standard Issue Sidearm
Shadows Angelus (both the original and my variation) borrow shamelessly from a myriad of Anime and Manga sources. My goal is to have a setting open to as many different anime tropes as possible while still maintaining a controllable campaign. This allows the players to have the maximum amount of fre...

Re: Standard Issue Sidearm
It is a second hand setting even to me. However I have the blessing of the creators to use Shadow Angelus and share it freely. If you want more background here is a Dropbox link to my own campaign background, this is still under development, but fairly complete. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ozseeh8vag...

Re: Standard Issue Sidearm
Yep, all the XSWAT operatives were selected due to their "special" talents; magic, mental powers, cyborgs, clades (human-animal hybrids) or perhaps a normal that was just darn good (Captain America or Batman good). There were numerous squads of XSWAT troopers. I never defined how many. The...

Re: Precognition
I had actually put some thought into this. Assigning Difficulty Numbers based on how far into the future the character was attempting to see. For Example. DN2 = A few seconds into the Future DN4 = A few minutes into the Future DN6 = A few hours into the Future DN8 = About a day into the Future DN10 ...

Standard Issue Sidearm
I am converting one of my old games to OVA. The setting is borrowed and is called Shadows Angelus . I’d recommend Googling that name if you want an interesting read about a really neat anime game setting. As part of my efforts I have to design a standard issue side arm that members of XSWAT are issu...

Precognition
I'm converting a character from another RPG. I notice that there is no Precognition Ability in the OVA book so I am thinking I need to make it a Unique Ability. Has anyone else done anything with prescient abilities? Just looking for ideas or input before I take a crack at creating it.

No Avatars?
I looked around a bit and didn't happen across this topic anywhere.
I noticed that avatar functionality is disabled. Will it be coming back at some point or is there a reason it is remaining disabled? I like my tiny avatars.

I checked in this morning and found one of the $125 tiers had become open. I snagged it immediately. Good way to start off my day.

Re: OVA Kickstarter Launched!
I am sorry my last post was a little to driven by the emotion of the moment. I'd been waiting for this for years and I was a bit upset when my well laid plans went awry. I look forward to the new edition in whatever format I get it in.
