Must get one soon!     It pains me not to have Slayers d20, since everything I've heard and seen about the book (literally, everything) points it out to be a stupendous work. For me though, the problem is (laughably) simple: I haven't seen all of The Slayers. Having only seen half of the first season, and all of the second season, I still want to avoid anything that may be considered spoilers for the rest of it, and I know Slayers d20 has a plot breakdown in it. This, despite no indication of seeing what I've been missing anytime in the near future. Truly a sad state of affairs...I'd like to comment on this, but I don't trust myself not to break the forum rules for what are acceptable topics...In all honesty, I couldn't bring myself to even post a reply here without having done something to help out Guardians of Order first. As of a few minutes ago, I just ordered the BESM GM's Screen (I've always wanted the adventure that comes with that); here's hoping this little bit does help. WIth luck, I'll be able to order the BESM d20 Bundle later.GoO having to close its door would be, to me, a blow to the RPG industry. I was there when it all started. When GoO released the first edition of Big Eyes Small Mouth in 1997, I was lucky enough to have won a free copy at GenCon from the Hades Pro Anime Exhibit. Having only discovered anime one year previous at GenCon '96 (and only been roleplaying for less than five years), finding an anime RPG was the best thing since someone accidently dropped their chocolate in the peanut butter jar. I've been a customer of yours ever since, and I don't want that to change.One quick sidenote - how long will this sale of Enlightened Self Interest last? With things like the Bundles, for example, I'd like to know if they're in danger of disappearing if they aren't pounced on by the end of, say, January.Best news I've heard in a while. A book like this is more than just useful, I'd call it almost necessary to run BESM d20. When I read the original BESM d20 book, my one critical thought about it was that it had everything necessary to run a campaign, except monsters - villains would all have to be NPCs with class levels (there was, to be fair, a section on converting monsters from d20 to BESM d20, but it seemed complex and somewhat unwieldy).    Sounds like another winner. This way I can see what sounds like a great magic system from Slayers d20 without having to spoil the series for myself. I have mixed feelings about this. Tri-Stat is the only RPG system that I've given more than a passing glance to, apart from d20. However, three editions in eight years seems like a bit much (at least to me, but I'm comparing it to D&D, so my viewpoint might be skewed here). I also feel some trepidation when I look at the comparison between BESM 2E and BESM 2E Revised. While the Revised one was $5 (IIRC) cheaper, it had some changes I didn't agree with. Not only where abilities lumped together (as opposed to the normal and not-normal breakdowns they'd been given before, which was helpful to have if needed, and easily ignored if not), but the paper was no longer laminated, and the art was in black and white instead of color. I know that all sounds like nitpicking, but it was unnerving to see every change made (price notwithstanding) to be one I disagreed with. Hopefully, BESM 3E will dispel my misgivings.The "multiverse" part is certainly evocative. Perhaps an expansion of the adventure found with the GM's Screen?Woot! BESM's own Unearthed Arcana!I hope that 2005 is a bigger and better year for GoO than 2004 was, and that you guys are around for a long time to come!</blockquote>
