OVA Licenses
I know Wise Turtle has two big projects lined up on the horizon, but has anyone bitten on the licensing of OVA/Ricochet system for a third-party book yet? Given some time to work on such a project, I am considering it for myself, publishing one of my "hobby universes" as a full-fledged set...

The question of how to start as a GM with a new game and no prior experience is daunting, but the good news is – you have no bad habits to unlearn as of yet. There are several ways to prepare an adventure, depending on your goals. I will discuss a few, with the Wise Turtle’s kind permission, and hop...

Re: New Character Sheet Idea + Char idea + Perk idea
This effect is essentially "Multiple Targets" or "Area of Effect".Joe_Mello wrote:While I was creating Inuyasha, I thought up a new perk: a version of the classic d20 feat Cleave.
By the way, I like the charsheet design. Do you have a file version of it that you can post a link to?

Because of this, the Distribution edition of the game, and later revisions of the PDF, include the following textbox under Drama Dice: Endurance used for Drama Dice and Miracles cannot be recovered as described in the Combat chapter. Spent points are not restored until the end of the adventure or a...

Anybody have any guidelines they want to share for in genre character improvement? To add my two cents, I would say that a good idea may be to let players shift abilities at the end of the story arc in question to reflect the changes in themselves from the end of that story arc. Maybe make this cha...

Re: How big is too big?
How big of a party is too big? Hard to say, but a good rule of thumb is six total players. The thing is, you are going to have no individual time for anyone outside of the combat cattle-call, or you are going to have a story that focuses on just a handful of the characters that you are interested i...

Mecha with Targetable Systems - an Idea
Apologies if this oversteps something being done in OVA Mecha, but if it adds to the work there, feel free to use it, Clay. :wink: Again, doing some work on Future Perfect when it hits me - I need to have some rules for special parts of the ships in question. That way, you can target the shield gene...

I can't shake the idea that the theme song would be a techno version of the "Old Spice" theme.

Re: Found or Bought Weapons
Weapon is exactly that, an item with a damage value and some stats. If you want to have stats for a "signature weapon" you would use Power Move. Now that I am not as comfortable with, mainly because I think of Power Moves as inherent abilities and special techniques (yes, using focus can ...

Found or Bought Weapons
I am kitting up my Sci-Fi pregens for Future Perfect and I keep writing down the following line: Weapon 1 - (Blaster: Ranged) except for one guy who has: Weapon 2 - (Blaster Rifle: Ranged, Armor Piercing) Human Arsenal - 2 But it occurs to me that the characters (like the reporter, etc) who don't no...

Re: One shot game idea for Free RPG Day
I'm thinking a new sentai group working together for their first mission would be a good one-shot. Regardless of how it turns out, it is their first teaming, and if you have seen these things, they almost never go right until the very end. You're right, the parallels are there. Not a bad idea at al...

Re: What is your OVA campaign?
I'd like to know what your current OVA campaign is, whether as a player or a GM. "Future Perfect" is current game and is a transhumanist sci-fi romp. The universe if one I have gimmicked with a great deal over the years and the OVA game is set in a DMZ treaty zone where three forces use c...
