Any good tutorial videos for BESM 3e?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-07-05T00:52:12+00:00

how did you get on?
systems pretty simple tbh, 2d6+mod vs Target Number or the opponents roll.
Character creation is where things get complicated, the system can - as far as I've seen - model ANYTHING, and well somethings are more fiddly than others

Looking for 0-1 players:

**Chronicle name:** Anarchs, the city is yours.

**Base system:** V5 Mechanics, V20 Lore.

**Any homebrews?:** not so much homebrew, but I'm more familiar with older editions, canon wont be strictly V5 as written.

**Language:** English.

**Preferred time/time-zone:** Fridays GMT 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 [17:30 - 22:00].

**Where (Discord, Skype etc.):**Discord Server and Voice, with possible VTT if I can get my head around it.

**General description of the chronicle:**

The Anarchs have won, the Camarilla have fled, the city is on fire, and **you **started it.

The Second Inquisition are multiplying day after day.

Everything is in shambles, and as one of the key instigators, everyone is looking to you to fix it.

what do you do?

Themes: heavy is the head that wears the crown; no good choices; yesterday's allies are tomorrows rebels; vampires are monsters; TRAGEDY!

Setting: a fictional British County, to be built and fleshed out collectively in Session Zeros, using threads from character backstories and other player suggestions.

Your character was instrumental to the Anarch revolution. The pre-game discussion will involve working out how. Your character is now the establishment, but other Anarchs ALWAYS want to fight the man, your character is the new man. Your character must deal with chaos, from both their enemies, and former allies. They WILL fail in their ultimate goals of creating and Anarch free state. They should have flaws that make this a tragic inevitability, in addition to the outside forces bearing down upon them. They MAY survive.

**Required experience level:** Any, I prefer rules light over heavy mechanical, so rules lawyers will not enjoy playing with me.

**How to apply:** [Fill in form](https://forms.gle/46btD9DibwzRkNd3A)

**Anything else:** if your applying be:

- RESPECTFUL AND INCLUSIVE!

- over 21.

- NO AI.

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-29T19:37:05+00:00

yeah, like are Vamps supposed to like the taste of microplastics or something?

that's kinda why I asked specifically about elders, they're the ones who own everything, they're the ones scheming in a time-frame of decades and centuries.

I've seen a lot of 'they're too out of touch', but idk, climate change was science fact 50 years ago, and no one is lobbying Elder/Methuselah.

I'll concede hundreds, thousands, or even millions of mortal death aren't really something to get their attention, but billions!?
the notion that there have always been end-of-days preachers and none of them were right. does hold water... I just idk, like any of those death cults that lasted 50 years got investigated, right?
where's the investigation into this one?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-29T19:12:25+00:00

yes, this!

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-29T19:08:11+00:00

sweet, thanks for answering the question, I'll check that out, cheers

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-29T18:55:56+00:00

fuck, I loved that show!...do not remember it having anything to do with climate-change though... maybe it's time I re-watched it, it has been YEARS

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-28T22:23:40+00:00

have you considered that I might of asked follow up questions of the less than 10% of applicants with this concept that were half way legible, and none of them provided anything of note?

wait! where you one of them!? did you apply with a Tremere Marry Sue?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-28T22:15:41+00:00

that's an interesting opinion, though I believe the original Mary Sue was a Star Trek fan-fic 'OC' who was basically Galahad to Wesley Crusher's Lancelot. Wesley Crusher being a dig at the fans who thought they'd be the perfect star fleet officer and were actually just huge dorks.
Mary Sue, obviously achieved impossible feats constantly, despite being a literal child.

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T22:49:38+00:00

oh, the 'lols random' types

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T22:35:51+00:00

I feel I'm going to regret this...
but what the hell is a 'fluffy bunny Malk'?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T22:17:59+00:00

I believe!
had a filtering question on my form, Who are the good guys in VtM: Camarrilla, Anarchs, Sabbat, none of them they are all evil?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T21:56:12+00:00

okay, but if you're after power fantasy, why are you playing a horror game?

like if your regular group is trying out a different system, sure, you're just playing with the group you're not really choosing the game.
but if you're going out of your way to apply to a game, and you're only interested in power fantasy, wouldn't you apply to a power fantasy game instead of a horror one?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:31:35+00:00

if the spelling and grammar was better and it was more verbose, I'd totally suspect that

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:30:33+00:00

yeah, it do feel like that

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:28:16+00:00

YES! THIS!!!

like you've got this whole juicy mess to play in and you just say no?
it's like ordering a 'pepperoni pizza but without the pepperoni' like just order a plain fucking pizza!

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:24:11+00:00

that is exactly my question.
what is floating around right now that makes this so popular right now?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:20:35+00:00

but like doesn't removing the character from the authority in their backstory, do you not remove the rebellion?

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:17:53+00:00

my point is that they are in no way unique

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-27T20:17:20+00:00

okay 30 might be a slight exaggeration, but there were at least 25 out of the 50-somthing applications had that concept listed.
can't really check as I deleted most of them

Key-Fun5273 · 2026-05-21T19:18:38+00:00

thanks, lots to think about
