Im April 2002 folgt eine überarbeitete Neuauflage des Anime-Rollenspiels 'Big Eyes¸ Small Mouth' von Guardians of Order. Keine D20-Geschichte¸ sondern es bleibt beim Tri-Stat System.
This second edition of Big Eyes¸ Small Mouth (or BESM) is updated in an expanded and full-colour glossy format! BESM is a game for teenagers and adults¸ inspired by the dynamic settings and stories found in a wide range of popular anime shows now broadcast daily on televisions across America. Comedy or horror¸ fantasy or science-fiction¸ mecha action or passionate romance... if you can imagine it¸ this book will help you experience it!
The two-time Origins Award nominated multi-genre Japanese anime RPG is now available in a more compact Revised Second Edition format! BESM is inspired by the dynamic settings and stories found in a wide range of anime shows¸ allowing players to create characters from any genre or sub-genre. Comedy or horror¸ fantasy or science-fiction¸ mecha action or passionate romance...if you can image it¸ you can play it. The game features an updated version of the popular and easy-to-learn Tri-Stat System (d6) rule mechanics¸ which includes expanded sections on magic¸ mecha¸ supernatural abilities¸ skills¸ and much more. NOTE: this Revised Edition replaces the standard Second Edition¸ although the text has not changed substantially.
Big Eyes¸ Small Mouth bills itself as a Universal Japanese Anime Roleplaying Game and it does indeed live up to that claim. Everything you need to create anime characters and run them in a game...except for a setting to run them in. The rules are elegant¸ easy to learn and so flexible. The Tri Stat System uses only three stats: Body¸ Mind and Soul. Points are allocated by rolling 2D6¸ adding 10 and splitting them among the stats. No stat can be lower that 1 or higher than 12 and only one stat can be at 12. Next comes attributes¸ defects¸ possesions and you have a completed character. Just add some character concept and background info and you are ready to rock and roll.
