OVA was perfect for us.

Right, so, I'll get right to the point. I absolutely adore OVA. It is my favorite tabletop system to date. A close friend of mine (visual/music artist and storyteller extraordinaire) has been wanting to bring a world he's built up over several years to tabletop, and when I showed him OVA he jumped on it! Allow me to quote: "This is... wow, this is exactly what I need."

His setting mixes lots of different ideas, supernatural/metaphysical mechanics, different fantasy, sci-fi, and horror elements... just about everything you could think of, it's in there, and OVA has a really nice framework that allows all of it!

There simply wasn't a better system for the kind of freeform ruleset he needed. We've been using my digital copy so far, and he's going to buy a physical copy pretty soon.

We're using dice numbers that are probably a bit larger than intended for starting characters but the game is holding solid and all the players are having a blast!

So thank you, Clay. Your product is a resounding success! I love it so, so much.

I know what you mean OVA is one of the best table tops I have ever played

It does what it does well. It has it's issues (the whole point of the Gear category compared to other 'containers' can be redundant, but really, that's not a big problem. It can be easily ignored) but it's one of the smoother systems I've used in years.

There are certain types of games I won't use it for, but for an Anime styled game, it's my first choice.
