One of the most popular magna in Japan is about pirates, Sorry I don't know the title since I can't read kanji or even katakana, but I see it on the shelves all the time, and in toy stores, etc., etc. Besides pirates, ninjas, and Demons. Where can you have that except in Anime ;) Now all I need are ...

Thanks...

Thanks for the quick turnaround! Based on your response I think I am going to the do the following for my games: Power Moves and Weapons Depends on the character. If it looks like a character is stacking stuff to get around the limitations on damage (i.e. min/maxing) I won't add weapon. However, giv...

Battlemats

Here is a way to make cheap and easy battle mats. One that my game group uses. Went to an office supply store and got the largest piece of graph paper they had. For me that was 2xA3 size of paper (close to 11x17). Then went to kinkos or similar place and paid a few bucks for them to laminate it. Ins...

Feedback (or why I bought the game and what I think of it)

I probably am not going to cut up the back of my pretty new book, but at the same time I understand that the folks at wiseturtle want some feedback from their customers as to what their customer base is, what they think about the game, and what they want to see in the future for buisness planning pu...

Rules Clarification: Power Moves and Attack Roles / Damage

This may have been brought up before, if so, my apologies. Perhaps we could create a FAQ thread about rules clarifications if so to avoid duplication.

The Demon Isles - an OVA Swashbuckling Campaign

Argh… wee lassie, sure I’ll tell you a tale or two from the dreaded Demon Isles, but my throats a bit parched, perhaps a large mug of ale might help…. Ah…that’s better. So what do you want to know from Dead-eye Jack? Yes, you silly girl, I got my name from my dead eye, the one with the patch over it...

Just got OVA in Tokya, and Pirates!

Hello all just wanted to introduce myself to the ever growing OVA community, and also ask one or two questions. First off, in case Clay and others don't know, you can actually pick up the OVA print edition here in Tokyo. I just got it at Yellow Submarine (the only known game store to carry english g...
