Buffy rpg messageboards?

[warlord]

I just bought Eden's Buffy game and was wondering if anyone knew about some online message boards devoted to it?

 

[Olive]

No, but there seems to be a reasonable ammount of discussion over at the rpg.net boards about it.

 

[Crothian]

actually there are over on the Eden site

both the Buffy and Angel forums you should find useful

Crothian is right -- the Eden boards are a great resource.

And Olive is correct in pointing out that there are loads of Buffy/Angel fans over at RPG.net.

Hey Warlord, why did you go with Buffy over Angel?

(I remember recommending Angel ... just wondering.)

Hey Warlord, why did you go with Buffy over Angel?

While we're discussing it, what's the difference?

While we're discussing it, what's the difference?

Angel starting characters are slightly more powerful. IIRC, they get more skill points (+5, I think).

Angel has a lot of demon powers to build demons with.

Buffy has (more) magic.

 

[Olive]

so if you had both, could you combine them? What's the buffy magic system like?

 

[Ao the Overkitty]

Yes, you can combine both. The PBP I run uses both the Buffy & Angel corebooks (though we use just the Buffy character types; Heros & White Hats).

The buffy magic system assigns a power level to each spell. For the spell to go off correctly, you need to get that number of success levels. Otherwise, the spell either flubs or 'something interesting' happens.

It does a good job of capturing the flavor of magic in the series, I think. Namely, magic hard and not alltogether a goodness. To what ends you use magic for can affect your life and how things go if you don't manage to get the spell off right. Also, not exactly the system to be throwing about attack spells if you want to be a 'goody two shoes.'

I picked Buffy because I think its a better show and because I hate Wesley.

 

[Crothian]

good enough reasons as any!!
