OVA Useful Resources, Write-Ups, and Miscellany

Over the years a lot of great content has been posted to the Wise Turtle forums, but exactly because it’s a lot of material over the course of years, it can become a little overwhelming to actually find what you’re looking for. (That is, if you even know if it exists at all.)

To that end, I’m creating this sticky as a link repository to useful, interesting, or otherwise noteworthy material. Unfortunately, I don’t have time to actually collect these links myself, so I’m imploring you, dear community, to suggest your favorite threads below. I will periodically edit this post to include them.

Hi, Clay. You could add links to the digital character sheets that are still available.

This is Atmo's sheet, vertical layout: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tyehkj0vcx4o0 ... t.pdf?dl=0

And this is Darium's, horizontal layout: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5b1h ... UxsUkZlVUk

I'd like to nominate Malancthon's own little scale ruleset.
Monstrous Scale

I would also note some of my own contributions, but I think that'll be a bit too self serving IMHO.

I'm planning to run an OVA game soon, and to help me crank out a bunch of NPCs quickly, I've created a Microsoft Excel version of the character sheet. Mostly it's just fillable fields -- the only calculations the sheet performs is to sum up your total ranks in Abilities and Weaknesses, for people who are using the Base Zero or Power Ceiling creation rules. I hope it may be of some use.

Not sure if anyone would be even interested in this ruleset, but I think my Onboard Crew would be at least interesting for those who wish to simulate Star Trek or similar franchises.

Oh and a minor note that I got more fitting Ability Names for Onboard Crew modifiers: Heavy/Light

Every link to a fillable PDF character sheet I can find on this forum leads to a 404. There is a single excel spreadsheet with a working link, but I greatly prefer PDF.

I know there was talk of an official fillable PDF but that was like 3 years ago so I assume we aren't getting one. Does anyone have a working link to one of the fan made PDFs?

Was looking for some different character sheets as well. Would love a form-fillable one.

This one's dead link and I don't have the original, sorry.
