[QUOTE="buzz, post: 2385823, member: 6777"] A gap maybe, but not a hole. :) Thing is [i]Buffy[/i] isn't 256pp of rules. It's rules, setting info, season 1-5 synopsis, writeups of the major characters, sample archetypes, GM advice, complete sample adventure, guide to Buffyspeak, creatures and villains, conversion notes for [i]Witchcraft[/i], reference sheets, some fiction, and lots of art. C&C is all rules (or far more rules in comparison). [i]Buffy[/i] may not be RISUS, but it sure sits a lot closer to it than C&C. Well, then what do we call a game that's not RISUS yet not HERO? Using "rules-medium" seems a lot more apt that making "lite" so broad as to encompass all RPGs that are any degree less complex than D&D. Or, we could always use the other common definition of the terms: "Lite" = RPGs I like. "Heavy" = RPGs I don't. :D [/QUOTE]
