Watching anime movies or reading a manga series doesn’t quite provide the immersive experience that some people crave. These inspired individuals don’t just want to passively watch anime – they want to live it and experience it and be consumed by it. Even playing anime-themed video games doesn’t provide the creative outlet whereby players can live the adventures of their favourite anime characters. An anime and manga role-playing game – just like the one you’re reading – fills this dramatic need perfectly.
In the myriad realms of imagination, there are an infinite number of fascinating worlds waiting to be discovered.
BESM Fourth Edition helps you explore them all. Welcome to Big Eyes, Small Mouth or BESM – the multi-genre role-playing game for all your anime and manga adventures!
This Primer gives you a general overview of what you can expect from BESM Fourth Edition, including a walkthrough of the steps involved in creating a character. Additionally, we provide you with a comprehensive summary of BESM’s underlying Tri-Stat System game mechanics so you can see how all the pieces fit together. Updated, rebalanced, streamlined, and expanded, BESM is now available in a standard Fourth Edition as well as a simpler, “stripped-down” Naked Edition.
