Trigun Ultimate Fan Guide Volume #1 (Geneon second edition, 2004) and Book #2 (Pioneer first edition, 2002) front and back covers.

Scanned by me.

Information and me rambling about the books beneath the cut:

In addition to episode summaries, character bios, and general information about the show, these books contain Trigun-related game materials for the "Big Eyes, Small Mouth" (abbreviated as "BESM") TTRPG system produced by Guardians of Order.

While I've never used them for the game, I've read the show guide portions many times. There are some mistakes by the author but otherwise it's a really nicely done fan guide. The guide section is printed in full color and has TONS of screenshots (albeit low quality) and official artworks. The game portion is black and white and in addition to the game information, there's lots of great quality scans of set materials (larger than the versions in the Roman Album artbook!!). If you're a big fan of the 1998 anime, I definitely recommend picking them up if you get the chance!

I found the copies pictured above for sale together years ago at an anime convention, I think it's interesting how there are actually 2 editions (due to Pioneer becoming Geneon in 2003) and that I managed to end up with one of each version.....

There's also a combined hardcover version of these books called Trigun D20 that was published in 2004 under the Geneon name. I've seen a PDF version of it, I think a few minor things are omitted from the guidebook portions but I have not analyzed them closely enough to be 100% sure. I am also unsure if the game portion is altered due to it being advertised for the D20 system on the cover, but there's still a mention of BESM on the back. honestly I know nothing about TTRPGs so I really have no idea what any of this really means lmao

Cangames 2024

Well another Cangames has come and gone. And this is what we did for Saturday. It was nice to go up with a slightly bigger crew this year; Mark and his son, Finn, along with Finn’s friend, Jack. As well as Chance, Mikayla, and Brad who tagged along this year as well. We all met at my place at 7am, heading out to Ottawa since I had a game to run at 9am. We began our journey from town towards our…

Literally the Big Eyes Small Mouth class list! XD

D&D classes suck. Let's replace them with a different set of 12:

Ghost

Pokémon Trainer

Nerd

Asshole

Furry

Vampire

Lawyer

Pirate

Robot Builder

Clown

Fake Wizard (uses science instead)

Princess

There! I see absolutely nothing wrong with that list.

News from the Borderlands

Our lead item this week is Heorot - Roleplaying in the World of Beowulf Beastslayer. It's a brand new Kickstarter-funded rules-light RPG based around the Anglo-Saxon legend of Beowulf (as well as the odd piece of Norse mythology) and written by Fighting Fantasy legend Jonathan Green. Lovely illustrations, including some from the late Russ Nicholson.

Anime RPG fans are well catered for this week since we have a nice collection of BESM (Big Eyes, Small Mouth) in, including some rare supplements that we've not had before.

And here's something of an oddity that we've not had before either - White Wolf's Street Fighter RPG (yes, as in the video game series).

And possibly even more of an oddity - the RPG based on Ralph Bakshi's 1977 animated film 'Wizards' (Mark Hamill's film debut).

That's Mark C MacKinnon, for anyone wondering (I sure was, but eventually I managed to drag my answers out of various search engines).

Here's a thread adequately explaining the shit he did. https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/963033/mark-mackinnon-addresses-guardians-of-order-closur

Step 1: Have your formative experience of tabletop roleplaying with Dungeons & Dragons.

Step 2: Notice that the rules seem to be fighting you every step of the way when you try to use it to tell certain stories.

Step 3: Rather than interrogating how the game's structural assumptions about how it ought to be played might clash with your own assumptions about how the game's story ought to go, become fixated on the idea that there must be a specific game-mechanical feature of D&D that makes it Bad at Roleplaying™.

Step 4: Identify the existence of character classes as this feature, for some reason.

Step 5: Write your own D&D clone which dispenses with character classes but changes little else, thereby producing a game whose structural assumptions about the shape of play remain at odds with what you actually want to do with it, but which is somehow even worse at making those assumptions transparent to the player.

Step 6: ???

Step 7: Successful crowdfunding campaign!

What a weekend! I just got back from Cangames, and I’m still riding the adrenaline high that only comes from a full-throttle gaming convention experience — late nights, great stories, and unforgettable characters, both on and off the table. I went in with two fully prepped scenarios — one was a Cadillacs & Dinosaurs romp called The Wild, the Beautiful, & the Damned, and the other was a BESM d20…
