BESM Naked - Fourth Edition

A Stripped-Down Version of the Rules
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 the Fourth Edition of Big Eyes, Small Mouth– the multi-genre role-playing game for all your anime and manga adventures! Whether your gaming preference runs towards comedy or drama, fantasy or science fiction, horror or romance, shojo or shonen, BESM Fourth Edition has everything you need to help you make your favourite anime and manga characters and stories come to life.

BESM 4 is actually two distinct games. In addition to the standard BESM Fourth Edition, we are also releasing a stripped-down core role-playing game called BESM Naked that a complete, stand-alone, alternate edition. See what we did there? BESM Naked is a “gateway product” of a sorts, targeted at anime and manga fans who may know something about role-playing but aren’t traditional gamers. It’s also for role-playing enthusiasts who enjoy indie-style RPGs with simple rules and more narrative game flow. With a structural simplicity closer to BESM First Edition from 1997 — yet presented with an eye on illustration and graphic design that lives up to the expectations of today’s gamers — BESM Naked contains everything you need to play, wrapped in one small volume at an attractive price.
