If you've never played Big Eyes Small Mouth, or more commonly known as BESM, or if you're like me and a returning fan of the Tristat system, let me welcome you. In regards to how the system functions, for those familiar with games like Mutants and Masterminds or other such systems BESM is similar in some ways such as Attributes being linked to powerful abilities, but very different in others such as the inclusion of defects, or negative attributes, and minor/major edges, or advantage as is is compared to in D&D 5th edition. Obstacle both minor and major are also new, and represent disadvantage. The system at its core runs off of 3 stats, hence a tri-stat system. Your Body, Mind, and Soul make up your characters derived statistics and also are used for task resolution. In that regard, Task resolution is very simple, two d6 are really all you need to play the game. Damage calculation is based on weapon level and several other factors and character customization is nearly endless! So come join the anime roleplay experience that puts the "role" back in roleplay, you won't regret it!
