There are two other kinds of supplements produced by Guardians of Order. Stand-alone game worlds such as ''Uresia: The Grave of Heaven'' and ''Centauri Knights'', and licensed supplements based on various anime series, such as ''[[Slayers]]'', ''[[Serial Experiments Lain]]'' and ''[[Sailor Moon]]''. Licensed supplements that were mostly or completely background information about the show's world were released with the misleading title of "Ultimate Fan Guide".

''BESM'' uses ''Guardians of Order's'' Tri-Stat system, and was their flagship product for that system. Characters are defined by three statistics: Body, Mind and Soul, as well as a number of Attributes and Defects. Tri-stat is a [[Point Buy System]]. A [[D 20 System]] version of the game has also been released. [[Guardians Of Order]] had a third edition of ''BESM'' ready when it collapsed. The rights were sold to the game company White Wolf, which published it (for a short while anyway; the now discontinued third edition book sells for over $100 on the Internet, but you can buy .pdfs) and now provides what support remains for the Tri-Stat system.
