You forgot one of the more interesting points of the thread; perks and flaws can be used, with GM permission, on any applicable effect. While this won’t come in useful very often, it allows for some interesting twists on certain attributes, and makes for far more diversified spellcasting. Personally...

Sorry for the very belated reply, but with the holidays I had no time to keep up on my correspondence. Its not as hard as you think. We used magic to emulate power move. The power level was at 3, so the DT was 7. Next, we rolled to hit and he scored a whopping 10 more in his attack roll than his dod...

Happy new year (well, 3 days after)! It feels good to usher off the hectic holidays (Don’t get me wrong, I quite enjoyed my Christmas and New Years, but it’s nice to have free time again). Wise Turtle insists the holiday is ridiculous and has no resolutions for the New Year. Apparently because "...

The first attack used by a character to attack an opponet he ended up instantly buring the enemy up dealing 70 points of damage (he is a monk that can manipulate fire and he choose to use the cerimonial fires they were prepairing that night). How did he manage 70 damage with a single attack? I hadn...

In the game, I wanted her to be desirable, but I thought that by her having guy magnet that she may take too much away from the players if i over did it. So i left it out as a precaution. That's why I was a little wary of the suggestion when I made it. The guy/girl magnet ability can add an interes...

Elementalists in my campaign must manipulate an existing element around them (I am pretty lienent about it though, like the sun's rays may be enough light to convert to heat and then to a low level fire spell). That's more-or-less how I suspected it worked, but I wasn't wholly certain. she is 23. S...

I too have to apologize for the delays in my posting. This has turned out to be a far more hectic month than I originally thought it would. I had intended to ask you whether the class (or job, I'm not really sure what to call vocation templates in OVA) was more like a Final Fantasy Geomancer or like...

My favorite elemental system was always: Fire burns Earth (since wood and coal are both attributed to Earth. Metal can be attributed to Earth or Aether, but is still melted by Fire), Earth impedes Air (Earth, being the most solid, has the greatest effect upon Air, the least tangible), Air compels th...

Thanks for the troves of information jblittlefield. Though, I have to admit you submitted so much that I'm a bit overwhelmed (you certainly seem to know your pulp!). Since my greatest exposures to pulp style settings were Rocketeer and Sky Captain and the World of Tommorow, this list should prove im...

I've recently run the following games with OVA: ...Classic 1930s pulp...1920s horror... I've never played a pulp or classic horror game, but have always wondered about those genres. How have those games gone for you? What resources/films would you suggest those interested in exploring these genres ...

It occurs to me in retrospect, however, that it may be a bit of a misnomer to actually call Bishoujo a sub-genre? Is it actually just more of a label? Hmmm...? By the way, I would encourage anyone interested in becoming a GM to have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page . Not only is it a...

There's no reason in the world you cannot build a supers character with OVA. Just add spandex. As for making an actual BOOK...I doubt it. OVA's bag is its anime heritage, and I don't want to pull a GoO and go and produce superhero books instead. Nothing wrong with that (I have been a long time fan ...

Since I haven’t gotten my hands on a copy of OVA yet, and so am less than qualified to respond to most of the interesting threads on this site, I thought I would just submit a few random thoughts that came to me while reading the board. The game play sample provided in the OVA demo reminded me consi...

Just did (I am Inquisitive Guest no longer). Don't send me any e-mails just yet though (my e-mail account is currently down). If you would like to send a PM that would be great.
