Hello! This is my first time posting on your boards, so forgive me if this was the wrong section to place this thread. Being quite upset with the way WotC coast has gone, and how they are treating us older editioners on their forums, I am hoping this will be a place I can find refuge at and resettle.

Also, is this forum for 3.x or 4.0?


Anyway, I know this is probably not the best place to ask this, but I have no where left to ask.

As some of you might know BESM was remade into BESM d20 years back for 3.0. They then created a 3.5 update book and errata for it to make it compatible for 3.5 (see below).

http://www.gamingreport.com/article.php?sid=11028

Apparently the file might have been named "Anime_d20_-_3.5_Errata.zip".

They later made a "BESM d20 Revised Edition" that was supposedly meant to be updated to 3.5, but amazingly for some unknown reason none of the 3.5 updates were actually in the book (which said 3.5 Compatible on the cover!) (see below).

Sadly a few years later the comapny which produced BESM went under, and along with it it's site which hosted the BESM errata and 3.5 update file. Now they do not seem to exit anywhere on the internet.

Do any of you have these files? Does anyone know where I can still find them?


Thanks in advance for any help!

well, i'm unfortunately not going to be much help. the forum is both 3.x and 4.0, just look for the tags in the post titles. i don't have the 3.5 update for BESM d20 myself, but i have seen a few threads about BESM, so there is hope that someone here has them. i wouldn't mind having it myself.

Actually, the forum is for any pen and paper rpg, its just that 3.x and 4 ed are the most frequently discussed. Unfortunately I can't help you with your question other than that, but at least its a bump.

I can't help much with the first part, but with the second part (the files), try checking out
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.guardiansorder.com/

This should give you several options. You can try searching for the specific URL listed in the review.

This is how I re-found the Anime SRD (one of these days I should peruse it...I'm too busy with everything to actually do it :smallfrown:).

I hope this helps you out.

I've played a little BESM d20 (my friend's book) and it made mention of an online srd that I can only assume is the one that went under. Hopefully this one is what you are looking for. Found it months ago when I was trying to make a couple of characters. Luckily I favourited it, rather than just forgetting about it altogether.

I have to admit - I am unsure of which version of rules this website refers to exactly, it certainly passes as a resemblance to 3.5, but I have a link that might help you out.

I am sorry, but the link doesn't seem to work.

Either way, I believe that I found the same site when I did my google searches. I believe it merely linked you to the publisher's former URL where the documents were originally hosted. Again this site is long since gone.

Thank you, but that is the 3.0 SRD. I had that already.

edit:

Actually, I finally got it to work (you need to keep clicking reload until any page shows up):
http://web.archive.org/web/*/www.guardiansorder.com/d20/srd/

However, I am able to get to the page where the download link to the 3.5 update is (see picture), but it doesn't seem like this site archives downloads or something. Do any of you know what I should do now?

Damn. I finally got to http://web.archive.org/web/20050929034004/www.guardiansorder.com/d20/srd/Anime_d20_-_3.5_Errata.zip (after constant reloads), but it gave me a "broken hyperlink" error page.

Now what guys?

Please help!

Hopefully this link will work for you:
http://web.archive.org/web/20060324153902/www.guardiansorder.com/pdfs/BESMd20revised_errataupdate.pdf

It is a PDF of the BESM d20 revised errata, in PDF form. I wonder if they placed it into PDF.

Hope it helps!
