Most of the actual rules content is included in the second edition. I think those two books are now only available in electronic format from GoO, though, of course, you may find a store with copies of the books. I think all the new crunchy system stat goodness was incorperated--but not the flavory text and other goodness.
J Arcane Guest. Well, I've picked up the copy of Hot Rods and Gun Bunnies at my FLGS a few times and flipped through, and there were quite a few things I didn't recognize from my BESM 2nd book, both rules, and nifty fluff bits, like a really cool section on modern law enforcement.
So there's still plenty fun to be found therin. I haven't seen a copy of that in ages. AndyGuest said:. David L. Pulver Registered User. Rurouni Shimada said:. I have found them to be very good as a company. Just PM me with a postal addy and I will consider it as a chrissy prezzie and pop it into the post for you. Ah right In which case I'll wait until good ol' Leisure Games can tell me if they can get me a hardback Revised Second Edition and then I'll trawl hubs for the.

We puzzled over when you would need the "Artisan" skill instead of the "Visual Arts" skill, and why the game included some other seemingly super niche skills, while looking for the missing "Perception" skill or any skill related to deceiving people ie: telling lies or bluffing. Attributes not at all what you would expect from the name include all of those, but not things like Body, Mind and Soul which pretty much every other RPG calls attributes or other skills which thankfully are actually called skills.
It seems anything related to combat is an "attribute" for the sole purpose of limiting See more powergaming, even though the hyper-annoying disclaimer at the front of the book claims powergaming is a problem with the player, not the game. As if powergaming is a problem in and of itself especially given the silly nature of anime power levels, and as if making a disclaimer somehow absolves a system of responsibility to be good and not a steaming pile.
But I can overlook a narcissistic disclaimer in a rpg rulebook if the game is fun, and BESM is, for all it's faults, still fun. It was just not very easy to learn and seemed Is it just me or is this small book ridiculously overpriced?
It's a shame because I'd really like to get it, but I'd kinda feel like a sucker if I paid that much money for it. The book's about pages long - this isn't the old Guardians of Order book, it's a lushly illustrated, full color hardback. It's super nice. I mean, yeah, it's a little pricy, but it's not outrageous for what it is.
THis is coming from someone who only has the PDF, though. I think having a softcover option for POD would be great. I tend to keep multiple copies on hand and a stack of hardcover is fine but I like options and softcover is more friendly to thumbing back and forth.
It wouldn't hold together book is although not as big as some others it is not small enough to be contained in a paperback cover. Yeah it actually is small enough to be bound in a paperback, as i have larger paperbacks from the print on demand service here that are still holding up quite well despite the glue binding and heavy use. Anyone ordered this in the past only to find they don't have it in their library despite having an copy with a watermarked order number?
March 27, pm UTC. Specifically wondering about Big Robots, Cool Starships. It's all been rolled into one update package minus any setting fluff which is universal, making a conversion of the supplement is easy enough. I would like to second that question as I don't like the idea of buying a book that's going to fall apart in a stiff breeze. Any possibility of a non-premium POD version?
I have the original printed version but would just like a table copy hopefully with errata incorporated. I have asked the same question since the hardcover glued pages isn't usable as a table book. Also, the binding is just glue, with no stitching at all. This thing will fall apart in no time. What a waste of money. While this binding is okay for softcovers, I expected more for a hardcover. I will put in on my shelf and just keep using my pdfs and original book the POD version was supposed to be my tabletop copy - not happening.
Thanks for the warning on the poor quality hardcover version! This should be fine for game table use. I'd get it with the comb or spiral binding which will then lie open flat on the table. Or just use the PDF on a lap-top. The other advantage is Bookmarking, which can create a table of useful locations in the book, like an electronic table of contents that you can organize to suit yourself.
This means that you can search the document in a PDF Viewer as text, or copy text into a word processing document if you wanted to. Any idea what was changed in ? I came on to download on my new computer and see an updated date in YANN E.

Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.
The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable.
Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.
