and the buffy/angel game went well. 5 players, two almost deaths and one actually death (he spent 5 drama points to come back next week though). Both Investigators (angel version of the White Hat) went down hard. Found out the two demons pack a lot of offense, but our players have very little defensive. I anticipate lots of Hard to Kill being purchased.

Glad to hear it went well, Croth.
Yeah. When I played a White Hat Watcher at the gameday, I was using "I think I'm Okay" a LOT. Most white hats or investigators need to.

well, it was the first session of everyone's except myself first time with the session. I'm running the adventures from the back of the book, the Geniew arc, and I replaced the Atlantian with Xena and Xena did some major damage on people. One hack killed NPC target, next round one PC goes down, next round second PC goes down.....
It's been fun. No one is playing the Slayer or the Watcher, both those ar eNPCs. So this adventure starts with both of them going off to do more important things leaving the others to mess around with this. They have no way to contact the Slayer or the watcher or even the watcher council. One PC has an occult library of +1, but they don't have access to the Watchers books. It was really fun. And for the first time with this group, everyone said they had fun. I'm really happy.

Sounds good. Yeah, the adventures they have in the backs of the books are decent, all right. Seems like they have a good season set up there, though I haven't read the ones from the Director's Screen. I don't know if I'd use them for a series, cause I'd probably want to go in a different direction, but they were fun to read.
And I can believe that they had a hard time without a Slayer or watcher. Did the group have heroes, or was it just the two investigators?

I'm using the adventures in the back becasue I don't have a lot of time to create all the adventures. Plus reading through them they are well put together and fun.
We have 5 PCs:3 Champions and 2 Investigators. The 3 Champions are 2 demons and a Slayer in training. The 2 Investigators are a Warlock and a Hacker. The two demons are fricking powerhouses. One has a fire attack that does 50 points (Oden Tai Female page 198 of Angel) and the others is a created Demon type but he has an electrical attack that does like 30. So, they can do damage. But As the Oden Tai found out (or fears) she can't go to a hospital. So, healing for her is only drama points. And those go fast.

Still don't have the Angel corebook, but I remember the Oden Tai from the episode with them. Sounds like a nifty group.
And I can fully understand the lack of time to create. It's just a personal preference of mine to use all my own materials. I have tried out a couple of modules, but they never seen to run as smoothly. Course, I usually take a month or two to write and tweak an adventure, where as a mod only takes maybe a week of fine tuning, depending on how compatible it is with the current setting and such.

WEll, right now I have time...too much time. But shortly, I hope, the books for the ENnies will be sent to me and I'll have very little time. I've got my own little adventures and plots planned and they will be hooked around the main story line. For instance I convinced (insert evil laugh here) the Warlock to take a single advesary worth 5 drawback points. So, there is an insanely powerful demon wizard out there gunning for this kid. It's going to kill the Slayer, it's going to eventually kill the Watcher.
It's going to be great when the Slayer dies and the Potential isn't choosen. That's going to be a lot of fun. The Warlock has this great enemy that no one knows about. The Oden Tai will of course eventually be hunted by her people. The Hacker is actually part of the mob, and while the players know this out of game, in game they haven't seen that yet. The mob will learn about the Slayer and it will want to use her. The other demon is not going to get a big plot. He's the strongest role player we have and he's been the focus of other games. So I'm trying to focus a bit more on the other four.
