From roughly 1995 through 2008, NUELOW Games' Steve Miller had a Geocities website where he put reviews, fiction and material for roleplaying games. It grew and grew and grew... and then he got busy with other things, discovered the easier format of blogs, and totally forgot about it until he decided to migrate some of the content from the website to the blogs in 2010. And that's when he discovered the site was gone, because Yahoo had closed Geocities. (Well, and he'd forgotten to renew his Yahoo web hosting service. Whoops!)
HOWEVER, it turns out all was not lost! Somehow, his favorite section of the site--and the best, aside perhaps for the now-lost World of Elaan pages for the d20 System--has survived as part of the Geocities Archive Project!

On this page are links to the primary index page of the BESM section to the site, as well as the major BESM subsections. These feature adaptations of 1990s manga and anime properties and characters, as well as other characters that struck Miller's fancy. (A good portion of the material was slated for publication by Big Eyes, Small Mouth's publisher Guardians of Order, but they went out of business before any of it saw print and anyone got paid. So, Miller put much of it on his website.
The Main BESM Subsections
We hope someone out there enjoys this material and these rules for a game that's become even more obscure than d20 Modern and ROLF! (The look of some of these pages may even trigger nostalgia for the old days of the early WWW. Sadly, the a number of pages are missing the illustrations... but this is probably a warning that we should get Miller to archive these archived pages before they, too, are lost again... perhaps this time for good!)
