It can, and has, been done in many different rules sets (including but not limited to d20, Hero, GURPS, Feng Shui, HeroQuest, pre-license Unisystem, Prime Time Adventures, Storyteller, and Call of Cthulhu/BRP, that I'm aware of). In every case, the success or failure of the campaign is almost entirely dependent on whether the players and GM are willing to introduce characters and situations in line with what we see in the series. If they are, they can play it out using FATAL and it'll probably work OK. If they're not, the game won't be anything like the series regardless of what system they use. Eden's book looks nice enough, and the system's not bad. If Unisystem's your thing, then sure pick it up (though IMHO it's ridiculously overpriced for the content delivered, better to get it second-hand). If you prefer another system, then that's easy enough, too, since so long as you own a DVD player you have access to all the source material you'll ever need. I personally would go for one of the more free-form systems like Prime Time Adventures or HeroQuest, but it's trivial to do in d20 Modern. The important thing is to have a group that's willing to act all Buffyish instead of doing the most effective job they can.</blockquote>
