If you have a fair idea of what you want your character to do, it’s easy. There are also times when the game calls on you to roll 2d10 added together.Ĭharacter creation is probably faster than D&D by a fair amount. It’s not Rolemaster or Palladium’s system. The system is based on 2d10 (Percentile) but don’t panic. My favorite thing about the system is that it is so freakin easy to build on! I was actually drawn to this one by another game from DwD called Covert Ops, which I will also discuss elsewhere. The last one I’ll mention today is a game called Bare Bones Fantasy by DwD Studios. *Editor’s note: None of the games I talk about are necessarily better than D&D or any other game. If you can describe your favorite anime character, you can probably emulate it with these rules. The system itself was designed to appeal to both anime fans and new players alike. You get to raid the family Yahtzee box for this one as it uses d6’s. It shows that a lot of time and love was put into making this game happen. I feel like art can make or break a game and in this case it really sells the concepts and draws the reader in. Space pirates, martial arts action, mecha, monster trainer and high magic samurai fantasy are all doable under one set of rules, much like Anime Hack and Big Eyes, Small Mouth which I will discuss more elsewhere. As you may have already guessed, it’s another core rule set that is adaptable to any genre, much like an anime series. If I haven’t mentioned it before, I’m a big fan of all things anime, especially RPGs. It’s called OVA The Anime Roleplaying Game. The second game I’m going to mention might fall under the obscure and extremely loveable category.
