Hmm... I only took a quick look at the Fantasy Bestiary, but it didn't seem to include any creatures from Japanese folklore or mythology. That seems a bit...
I have set up a web site for my fledgling BESM campaign, Gun Metal Dragon. Please visit it at http://www.geocities.com/badsign_98/sixthworld/index.html and...
Other than a few typos I saw on the first page [mostly ones spell checker wouldn't catch]. It looks really good, I look forward to seeing the rest of it once...
I'm trying to create an antagonist for one of my characters, one he has outlined that existed in his past. How would you create a character who can possess ...
I believe the Demon City Shinjuku source book listed a mind control/possession ability, but I don't know if it made it into the 2nd edition green book or later...
well now, there is the possibility of making a seperate world of dreams, in which case you'd need to get (at one poiint/level) Dynamic Sorcery(dream world), by...
this is well thought out betiary, although a little status quo. I would note that the extra legs of a centaur grant a tactical advantage, and can therefor...
well, my campaign centers mainly on a western themed world, such as is encountered in Record of Lodoss War, so i didn't feel the need to address japanese...
Message text written by Michael Taylor ... Reclusive as a unique defect seems weak. Seems like this is a natural outcome of being winged..? How does this work...
hmmm... well, elves as anime depicts them typically have magical powers, an in the Record of Lodoss War series, this power translates to half elves as well,...
Someone mentioned that the cost of skills was too expensive. But I've always thought that the cost of skills was paid for as a Sub-Attribute of Highly Skilled...
As a GM i fin that 20 free skill points is reasonable, and that the cost of skills is perfectly fine. The Highly Skilled Attribute allows a character to...
To reduce the speed of falls, i often allowed android characters equipped with jump jets to resist gravity to an extent. In this case, for each level of...
Ok, here's the idea, you have two Ringworld like structures that were built in tandem so that they rotatewithin each other, that is to say two rings were built...
I have also found the skill costs to be rather reasonable. Since your skills only modify stat or derived value rolls you don't need to have a very high skill...
Sounds interesting, but I'd avoid calling it Lords of the Rings ;) Also, how are the rings set up? If they were concentaroundroud the star, one ring would...
This is sort of a precursor topic that will lead to something else. Just want to gather some data on the subject first, before deciding how to proceed with the...
I'm relatively new to BESM, and have two totally unrelated questions. First, what changes are made under the d10 version? Do modifiers change, or is it only a...
to answer your second question, in BESM, a lot of stuff is up tot he GM to decide, but by the setting is usually the best rule to use when deciding if a piece...
that always sounds great to me, however, i've always found the RPGA to be dogmatic nazis who won't let you play a character less virtuos than a paladin and...
yes, that's true, in many cases having extreme proficiency isn't really needed, but in a campaign where special attributes are not permitted (cop thriller for...
I won't be RPGA. I was just gathering opinions. To make it as open for all levels of participation as possible, it has to be done outside the RPGA. Thanks...
You may have misunderstood my question. It seems that if you add up the points to create equipment, the totals correlate with the classification of the item...
I don't know if anyone else uses a Palm Pilot but I've written a character generation program for it that will calculate the most common formula's for BESM I'm...
Minos I thought a minotaur with a centaur's body was a bull! ;] UCD: Isolated. Hmm....seems like the natural result of having a bull's head and a centaur's...
I just got hold of Big Ears, Small Mouse and the anthropomorhpic animal templates seem perfectly suitable for 'normal' animals as well. Someone mentioned they...
Should 'Scary' be an Attribute, giving a modifier per level that allows the Psyche modifiers given in BEMS, p. 164 under 'Supernatural Beings'? Michael...
