When they released 3rd Ed, I was sorely disappointed as it lost alot of that quick pace 2nd ed felt like it had. I playtested those rules and my players and I were not impressed. I've not tried the M&M books for anime RPGs, but I fear it may suffer the same issues (Though i love the overall M&M system).<br /><br />OVA is something I think I heard of in passing but never actually found. I may have to look into that one.GMBobhttp://diceandmen.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-51778267681578356422010-05-21T06:20:31.129-05:002010-05-21T06:20:31.129-05:00I hear that Open Anime game is the best one. :-)
...I hear that Open Anime game is the best one. :-) <br /><br />Actually in all seriousness, I am looking forward to your reading of OA. It took many years to get it out, and we hope the content is worth the price of admission.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13871682197896306978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-34185071650987008522010-05-21T05:50:34.825-05:002010-05-21T05:50:34.825-05:00Ryan: Yeah, I am a bit slow getting to it as well....Ryan: Yeah, I am a bit slow getting to it as well.<br /><br />Locien: Thanks for the links!

The only one I can think of that has been translated into english is Maid RPG(http://maidrpg.com/), and that's a weird game(even over in japan) that can be described as a game based on the mildly erotic romantic comedies that are common in Japanese media. I try to keep an eye out for japanese RPGs whenever I go to the local San Diego bookoff(http://www.bookoff.co.jp/en/index.html)(a japanese used book store that also deals with movies, music, and videogames, they import goods from japan into their store, and can have some very good prices), and managed to acquire a second edition TOKYO NOVA(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_NOVA)(now in fourth edition, however) and Meikyu Kingdom(迷宮キングダム)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meikyu_kingdom).<br />I just thought that I should point out that there's a japanese RPG culture as well, even if it is a bit small compared to the north american one.Aeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13601185065283954910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-8624803020040720612010-05-20T19:54:18.337-05:002010-05-20T19:54:18.337-05:00I just found out about the OVA RPG today...I was a...I just found out about the OVA RPG today...I was a bit surprised, considering that it has already been out for five years.
