I think the two universes are quite compatible, actually - so while the magic system, for example, will be influenced by both shows (ignoring, assuming the others agree, the "magic as an addictive drug" angle on Buffy, which I don't like - POWER can be addictive, but magic itself isn't, IMHO), it should work just as well in a Gargoyles-only game. (And the rules for Gargs and Mutates and Steel Clan Robots and such shouldn't be influenced at all by Buffy, obviously.) Most of the melding will take the form of setting detail, not rules information.And yes, I agree that the Gargoyles universe can stand on its own. It was one of the best shows on television (prior to Goliath Chronicles, anyway), and one of the most complex and interesting settings I've ever seen. I just like the idea of putting the two together (and I'm apparently not the only one), and hey - it might get fans of both shows thinking in ways they hadn't before. At any rate, don't worry: there probably won't be too many cheerleader vampire hunters running around. I rather suspect that Buffy is (or was, seeing as she's matured somewhat) unique in that regard. Really, at this time, I think the tone will be closer to Gargoyles than Buffy: dramatic with the occasional bit of humor as opposed to a more even mix of drama and camp.Umbran, if you'd like in on the Gargoyles part of thing, but not the Buffy part, perhaps you could help with that end - and even write something for the finished manuscript showing readers how to extract the elements required for Gargoyles d20 alone. Again, everyone is welcome.</blockquote>
