Description
The El-Hazard Role-Playing Game is based on the first El-Hazard anime OVA series and with rules based on the company's Tri-Stat system. The gameplay is reminiscent of the company's more generalized anime-inspired game Big Eyes Small Mouth, but features some modified mechanics and additional skills to better fit the El-Hazard universe. For example, it is possible to create "Relic characters" that are similar in nature to Ifurita, and earthling characters have access to the attribute "Unknown Superhuman Power" which allows the Game Master to pick special attributes or powers that the player must discern over the course of gameplay.
A note contained in the book suggested that the game would receive a supplement in 2002 based on characters and events from El-Hazard: The Magnificent World 2, but no such supplement was released.

Publication history
Shannon Appelcline noted that by the year 2000, "Although Guardians was growing and expanding in exciting ways, they definitely were not ignoring their bread and butter: anime RPGs. Thus the year after the release of BESM second edition, Guardians published Cute & Fuzzy Seizure Monsters (2000) by freelancer Emily Dresner-Thornber, a satire of the monster-fighting genre and El-Hazard (2001), another licensed property, this one by Jesse Scoble."[1]: 336
El-Hazard was the last RPG produced by Guardians of Order based on an anime license.
