Big Eyes, Small Mouth (BESM) Third Edition – GOO-76-000
Publisher: Dyskami Publishing Company

INCREDIBLE ! Besm is take to a higher level. After a one year long of waiting i m not at all disapointed, i m pretty excited. Many changes, a High Roll resolution instead of a Low Roll saw in BESM 2nd, SAS and Tri Stat game. There is also a brand new damage resolution.

And at least more exemple and template for the character creation, but not only that, spells, powers, vehicules, items weapons, evrything you could need to run a campaign regardless genre.

Finally two brand new bonuses, a japan and tokyo guide almost look like the Hong Kong guide in HKAT! 2nd edition, and a part about how to run a shojou manga campaign.

Final words, BESM 3 is a good universal core rules and the perfect mangas / animes game, much better than OVA.

Thank to white wolf to keep this licence alive, because BESM worthes it.

OVA - Open Versatile Anime Role-Playing Game

OVA is pretty good, rules are simple, character creation is fast and easy. The sample characters are inspired from many anime series. Clay Gardner is certainly a HUGE manga and anime fan. But there is two problems with this game :

1st the feeling to read BESM like manual, the history of animation is almost the same and the tips to run an anime style capaign are really close. it sn't really annoying. Same thing for weapons and special attack u have to create your own.

2nd the Dice system, you roll your dice pool, you take the highest dice exept if some dice give the same result, for exemple i make a 4 dice roll and i do : 2 4 4 and 6. If i fellow the rule i take the 6 as a highest roll, wrong, i take the two 4 and add them, the result is 8... not common handy.

Exept that, OVA is a really good system, and a quicker and lighter to handle than BESM, but BESM cover more thing like Mecha.

Hong Kong Action Theatre! Second Edition – GOO-10-001

HKAT second edition is a good game with an intersting way to play, first you create your actor with his stats and somes skills, and of course his flaw, in a second time you create his role character to fit to the movie or serial. Second point you could buy the 1st role and be the true hero and star movie.

About skill, you ll find many stunt and special attack like in many HK movies.

Next you have a good guide that describe Kowloon bay and hong kong very useful.

Well a good book to run a capaign or one shot scenario, and as i said you had create your actor so it really quick to create the role to fit to story plot.
