Re: Superhero OVA

If you want to put a cost on permanent regen, here's some inspiration from the men's room. Regeneration: You have the ability to quickly bounce back from anything, even a Malicron Death Laser! At the beginning of a combat round, instead of refooting, you may roll your Regeneration dice. You can pay ...

Re: Superhero OVA

I've wanted to do Hero TV for awhile using a heavily modified Gamma World engine, but haven't found a good venue for it. For RPG purposes, I would consider superhero characters to be one or two specific powers, and then a whole bunch of style. Nathan Seymour, Johnny Storm, and Roy Mustang are all py...

Re: non battle events

-What skills will you need to roll for?
-Will there be any other people competing?

This goes for any situation, really, whether it's Sports Day, Exam Day, OMG I NEED TO MAKE SENPAI NOTICE ME Day or Parts-Of-A-Camel Day. Don't overthink it.

Re: Not using Endurance to absorb damage.

I was wondering how much the game OVA would change if people were killed/knocked out at 0 HP instead of 0 HP and 0 Endurance. Each Time I ran OVA fights seemed to drag because everyone had Endurance points that had to be removed before going down. Any thoughts? One thing I do is fudge the stats. Un...

Re: Making a Pokemon Trainer

Honestly, I would probably just make a new Ability called Trainer which allowed the character to successfully control pokémon of a certain power. (Roughly analogous to the video games badges allowing you to control certain levels of pokémon.) So +1 might allow you to successfully command a rattata,...

Re: Pick a character!

Something like Yu-Gi-Oh would be pretty tough. Probably a bunch of different attacks, companions, etc. Actually, I don't see it as all that hard. Think of a deck as a Fighting Style. There are various techniques, but a few signature moves that the deck needs to execute in order to win. So what I wo...

Re: looking for a quick campaign/scenario for a first time r

When introducing people to the game, here's what I tend to run: The players are students at a run-of-the-mill Japanese High School, and their characters are arbitrarily made (last time, I used pseudo-random generation) but otherwise normal students. For the first part of the story, I have everyone p...

Re: Hi there! I'm new and I have questions.

I have another question! Super modes for transforming heroes. How might you achieve them? Double-stacked transformations seems like an answer, but that way also lies madness. Thoughts? I'd quite like an answer on that one myself. It's bad enough for most Sentai. Then people try to model the Neo-Hei...

Re: Hi there! I'm new and I have questions.

Option B is normally how ship-to-ship combat worked in Star Wars, at least in my experience. I don't necessarily see why this is a bad option.
