This book has an immense amount of info! It's good for people who want to learn about the series (much better than that Meet Sailor Moon book), but it's really great for role-playing. The Tri-stat system is easy to use, and yet you can still add personality to your characters! My only beef with this book is that it only followed the story up until Sailor Moon R, and it focused on the dubbed version (if you haven't seen it yet, subtitled japanese Sailor Moon is always much better). And yet, even there, the author made sure to realize that Sailor Moon is a japanese show, and included a great chart for learning the japanese names of the characters, a detailed map and description of Tokyo, and discussed the differences between the American dubbed version and the original Sailor Moon. I'd recommend this book for role-players, and those new to Sailor Moon. If you like Sailor Moon, but don't fit those to catagories, try the new Sailor Moon comics! They're great AND a new story (and the art is wonderful!).

When I bought this book I was a little weary because it was a little pricy. But once I took it home and read it, boy was I glad that I got it! It provides a break down of all the Senshi, Tuxedo Mask, and all the enemies from SM and SMR. What made me really happy though, was the information that was included about the Outer Senshi and the Sailor StarLights. I had not seen any eps with them yet and the information in this book was a real treat. I've been an SM fan for quite a while and I constantly find myself scouring my room trying to find this book because of the vast range of information it contains. From a summary of each episode in SM and SMR, to the inclusion of the missing eps that were not dubbed, a timeline of the "Sailor Moon Universe" and background information on many of the places in the Anime, including the Silver Millennium, and the Negaverse. This book also includes a breakdown of the names and information behind each scouts name, planet and other information you'd want to consider when making your own Senshi for RPG's or Fan Fics. Even if you never plan on joining a Role playing game, this book will provide you with an endless supply of info that I promise you'd spend hours on end looking for on the net.

When I first heard of it I thought, "Hey! Who need to learn how to play house! " I thought this book was going to be really stupid and way overpriced, but when I went to a manga/anime store I found this book. It was totally different than I expected! Inside are bios of the characters (whether good or bad), there stregnths/weaknesses, A timeline of who was born (like the year and month, when each episode and big event happened (year and month), and it practically explains everything you need to know. If you've ever had a question like, "When the scouts defeat Queen Beryl, did they start that year over, or did they forget everything altogether?" The Answer is in that book. (I'm not going to spoil it for you) For those that only have seen the NA version or had to miss show, there are also Episode summaries of all the episodes of Japan up to episode #78 (Follow the Leader). If you are just a starting watcher, this book will make you hooked on it for life. Anyone who thinks they know Sailor Moon does NOT till they get this book. There is a page dedicated to telling you where to findinfo on the web, the voice actors/actresses, etc. A DEFINITE MUST HAVE!

The Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game and Resource Book is a definite must-have for Sailor Moon fans, even those not interested in role-playing games. The book contains an easy-to-learn gaming system, as well as useful reference information concerning the Japanese versions of Sailor Moon, history on the "magical girl" genre and its relation to Sailor Moon, extremely helpful information on Japan (for personal knowledge and for game play), and excellent screenshots and artwork. I spent the summer running a Sailor Moon campaign, and the players all really enjoyed the system. I personally recommend also acquiring the character diaries, which contain FOURTEEN-page character sheets; while unnecessary, a player TRULY knows his or her character once all fourteen pages are completed.

This book is great! It has almost everything a fan of Sailor Moon would need! Great pictures, a LOT of info on Sailor Moon, (Even the Japanese series.) and of course, the main feature of the book, the Sailor Moon RPG! You can even create your own characters. Or, what i like to do, since this RPG is mainly for the first two seasons, you can create bad guys or Senshi from the other ones! ^_^ That's what I do when I play Galactica, my favorite! So, if you want a really, great game to play that's easy to learn, or a TON of Sailor Moon pictures to look at and try to draw, or info on Sailor Moon that we'll probually never know seeing how they don't show the full versions of the shows here or have the other three series, GET THIS BOOK! NOW!

What started out as a small manga in Japan, grew to a great popular hit-series Anime! Sailor Moon has enchanted our hearts from the very beginning. For some of us, the 200 episodes are not enough. Guardians of Order has taken the time to fulfil this craving. Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game and Resource Book is just what Sailor Moon Fans want to expand their knowledge of the series, and expand the series itself. This book contains Dozens of Pictures from ALL seasons and numerous Character Information. Best of all, this wonder-packed book is a Role-Playing Guide Book to guide you in many Role-Playing experiences. This book contains Everything you need to know about the Sailor Moon Season here in America and information on the Original in Japan. This book contains everything you could possibly think of! Including, a few new Sailor Characters that have not yet made their curtain call here in America.... Sailor Moon Role-Playing Game and Resource Book is a must have for ANY fan who has wondered down the path of wondering.

I enjoyed this book. It has lots of information on each character seen in the NA version plus info on the outer senshi, starlights, chibichibi, and more. There is an episode guide with unseen episodes (ones NA has not aired). The best part of the book is all the pictures. Most are black and white but there is a whole section with colored photos. I really enjoy looking at this book. You can't read it all in one sitting and it is a great reference book for Sailor Moon fans.

This book is awesome. It has loads of information, pronunciation guides, character profiles, color pictures, opening song translations, japanese versus english stuff, lots of black and white pictures that I liked to color in, and a great RPG strategy. Only one real downside, the strategy. It is great and thourogh, but completely confusing. I have read the gaming section about 3 times, and i am still misunderstanding parts. Overall, it is a great book, and i would have bought it even if i had known about the strategy. if you are a very devoted SM fan, this is great for you.

This book has cool COLOR pics of all the inner senshi scouts, villins in the first 2 seasons,and more. It talks about some characters such as The Sailor starlights and the cute little Chibi-Chibi from the 5th season of Bishojo Senshi sailormoon, Sailor Stars. It talks about all the works of Neako Takaguchi (the creator of Sailor moon). And the game. It's kinda like the role playing game "Dungeons and dragons" allthough you only need 2 standard 6 sided dice. Even people who don't like Sailor Moon will still like this fun game.

This book was a total disappointment to me. Although many reviews said that it was great for reference I disagree with passion. True, there is both information on Role-Playing and just regular Sailor Moon. However, I either already knew or could easily find in 5 min. everything this book told about SM. If you are a GM (game-master) or are really into RPG then you might like this book, but if you buy this book mostly for the Sailor Moon content DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
