	RPGnet: Review of Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM) Revised Second Edition
		Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM hereafter) is the "generic anime" RPG from Canadian design house Guardians of Order (GoO).
		BESM's cover art by Julie Dillon is an adequate rendering of a typical group of anime oddballs: A strong, silent samurai type with a big gun, a blue-haired Sailor Moon clone in a mecha suit of some kind, and what appears to be an elf riding a goat (!).
		BESM is "effects-based" in the sense that none of these Attributes necessarily have a mandated representation within the game world.

		Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM) is an anime-based roleplaying game that is a generic system that can be used to play a game that is based on any concept.

		BESM is a rules light system, as is evidenced by the game mechanics, the most detail is in the character creation options.
		Those who are annoyed by the small text of the index can simply use the table of contents and do a little bit of flipping through the pages to get where they want.
		The big difference between BESM (and other Tri-Stat systems) and the majority of RPGs, is that depending on the type of campaign skills will cost more or less depending on their relevance.

	Big Eyes, Small Mouth Revised Second Edition Review -- November 8, 2004 \| d20 Magazine Rack (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Big Eyes, Small Mouth Revised Second Edition is the core rulebook for the tri-stat system published by Guardians of Order.
		These are mostly small things, and usually can be acted out through roleplaying more than actual penalties, and can lead to a great time at the gaming table.
		As long as a game master can keep an eye out on character creation to make sure players are not abusing the point-buy system there would be no end to the fun a group could have with Big Eyes, Small Mouth Revised Second Edition.

		They lurk in shadows, invisible to the powerful and arrogant eyes of man. Nothing is too small to escape their notice.
		The first BESM supplement to be inspired by American animation and comics, Big Ears, Small Mouse takes players into the strange but familiar world of Mousetropolis, with talking rodents, bugs, and other tiny animals.
		Big Robots, Cool Starships is sufficiently flexible to allow players and GMs to design and stat-out nearly any vehicle, structure or giant monster from any genre in a matter of minutes -- from motor bikes to space stations, mecha-dragons to pirate ships.

		Big Eyes, Small Mouth is a multi-genre RPG, inspired by the dynamic characters and stories found in Japanese animation.
		While the second edition of BESM is far more inclusive and detailed (and nearly three times larger than the original edition), the original edition is still a good match for those just beginning with role-playing games.
		Big Eyes, Small Mouth is probably one of the greatest RPGs of all time.

		Big Eyes, Small Mouth 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, including comedy or horror, fantasy or science-fiction, mecha action or passionate romance.
		However, it would be a rare thing to see much diversity in character classes in a straight BESM campaign (Magic Girls and Mecha are two ships that will not meet in the night).
		With many new abilities, and showing the relative power level of the various class abilities in BESM, 3e, and d20 Modern, it is a DM's and Rules Lawyer's dream come true.

	The Metallian's Lair - Big Eyes, Small Mouth: Alternate Rules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Those who prefer the elegance of the standard BESM Stats may continue to allocate Stat points on the standard "one-Character-Point-to-one-Stat-point" basis, in which case the value of a character's Sub-Stat will always be equal to the value of its primary Stat.
		The exceptions to the preceding statements are that an unmodified roll of +5 always succeeds, and an unmodified roll of -5 always fails, regardless of the Target Number.
		Similarly, all penalties listed as positive numbers in BESM Second Edition should now be considered negative to reflect this dice-rolling mechanic's preference for high rolls.

		Well, the difference between Exalted and BESM is that the former is a very specific - if broad - setting, whereas BESM is a system (and semi-setting) usable for all kinds of anime settings.
		Exalted is the slutty kitchen sink of anime bad assness, where one wrestles with gods, destroys cities with a wave of a daiklave, and goes to war with whole realms because they're pissing you off.
		BESM is the slutty kitchen sink of Anime Recreation, Where you have all the elements to create all sorts of anime things, (as well as comic books) and other assorted backdrops.

		I've was looking at BESM last night and I noticed a startling similarity to Fuzion.
		What follows is a conversion of BESM to Fuzion.

	Big Eyes, Small Mouth To Hero System
		Note that due to the nature of BESM, character abilities are somewhat more abstracted than in a system such as HERO or GURPS, so derived results are not absolutes, and are subjective to the wishes and desires of the person doing the translation.
		BESM presumes that a normal human has a 4 in all three stats (BODY, MIND, SOUL).
		However, Ryoko in BESM can do a max of 60 points of damage with her energy sword, so she couldn't touch the character with that 90 point Force Field anyway.

	Big Eyes, Small Mouth: Rules Alterations
		To keep the characters’ core stats from inflating too quickly (which is largely the quickest route to an unbalanced game), I’m introducing a graduated cost for increasing stats in game.
		To remedy this, a character may take a penalty to his attack roll (prior to rolling), and apply it as a penalty to his opponent’s defense roll.
		I’m a big fan of giving the players some ability to fudge rolls, so I’m expanding the use of XP.
