Monday Mashup: We Are Legend
This week's Monday Mashup asks us to mash I Am Legend. I haven't read the book, but I've read a comic adaption and watched the movie (Omega Man, although I hear there was another movie that was more loyal to...
Gillian, the Vampire Slayer- The Characters
Giles: We few.... Giles/Spike: We happy few... Spike: We band of buggered... -BtVS 5.22 "The Gift" I ran the first session of "Gillian, the Vampire Slayer" tonight. The game had (I think) a shaky start, but once the demons started...
The Buffy RPG- Something Missing
I still think it is an excellent system, but it is going to take some adjustment for me. Not as much as D&D, maybe, but some adjustment nonetheless. The GM almost never needs to roll dice, which takes some getting...
Gillian, the Vampire Slayer 1.1 "What Fresh Hell?"- Plot Summary
((Warning- there are some spoilers of the ending of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series ahead. Also, this is a LONG summary. I put it up here for the future reference of myself and my players.)) The premiere episode of...
Gaming Resource: Restless
For anyone out there who is running or may run a Buffy RPG, I've found this site to be extremely useful: Restless: The Buffy Trivia Guide. Of course, you don't need to be running Buffy to enjoy this site. If...

Stormbringer Angelus
On the Angel RPG message board there has been some conversation about the current season and ((SPOILERS!)) why Wolfram & Hart seemed to want Angel to take the amulet. It was suggested that the Spike we see now is old...
Gillian the Vampire Slayer 1.2 "That's Entertainment!"- New Spell
It's been a little bit since the game, so my memory is a tad hazy, but I believe there were only two spells researched and used in last week's game of Gillian the Vampire Slayer. One was a simple I...

The Price of Books
Who said roleplaying was a cheap hobby? Between the Buffy game and D&D there are several books I want to buy. At first, I thought I wouldn't be wanting to buy any more books for D&D after the core books,...

Buffy Quote
Buffy: I told one lie, I had one drink. Giles: Yes, and you were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture. -BtVS 2.5 "Reptile Boy"...

Gillian the Vampire Slayer
Gillian the Vampire Slayer now has a theme song. I've been keeping an ear out for a cool punk-ish song for the theme. I found one. It's "If This is the End of the World" by AM Radio. A sample...
Gillian the Vampire Slayer 1.6 "First Impressions"- Plot Summary
People are people So why should it be You and I should get along so awfully Depeche Mode, "People are People" This episode began with a phone call between Rupert Giles and Nigel Harker. They discuss the rebuilding of the...
The International Journal of Buffy Studies

Gillian the Vampire Slayer 1.9 -Prologue
A car sped down a mostly deserted road. Between the red ball fringe in the windows and the woven blanket in the back, you can almost smell the burritos cooking. Inside the car, two figitives from justice were heaidng back...
Buffy Quote
Yesterday was the newest episode of Gillian the Vampire Slayer. We have a tradition that before each game of Gillian, we watch an episode of Buffy. Yesterdays was "Lie to Me." Giles: You mean life? Buffy: Yeah. Does it get...
Gillian the Vampire Slayer 1.7 "George the Vampire Slayer?"
I've had a lot less time these days for writing up the episode synopsis for Gillian, so this one took a few months and the details are a bit spotty. I rushed the end so I could just publish it....
Kitty Pryde and Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Whedon once admitted that Kitty Pryde served as a model for Buffy and obviously has made her a focal point here. It works well and I think this focus will continue to be of interest as will the interaction of...

Dial H for Hellspawn: An Angel RPG scenario
This game scenario came to mind, so I'm just jotting it down. Obviously this scenario could be run in different game settings and systems. Angel is just the setting and system I was thinking of for it. The basic premise...
All Flesh Must Be Eaten!
I was at the Underworld comic shop on Tuesday and I found a used copy of All Flesh Must Be Eaten. So, I picked it up and have flipped through it some. So far, I really like it. It includes...
Buffy RPG/Unisystem- Alternate Initiative System
I like rolling for initiative. I like when a player does not know if the bad guy he is fighting will be able to shoot/punch him first in the next round and when sometimes faster characters may get multiple attacks....but...
Buffy Spell- Calming Beasts
I'm not sure why this one was left as a draft. It was done as far as I can tell. Yes, Amy would know this one by now. I had written it up for a scene in a game where...
Gillian the Vampire Slayer 1.13 "To Hell and Back"
OK, so I found this draft in with a bunch of other half-finished entries from months ago and have decided to go ahead and post what I had rather than sit on it. It's only a few paragraphs covering the...
Buffy and Homosexuals
Somebody posted this on the Unisystem LJ group as an interesting way to think about people's reactions to the supernatural in the Buffy setting: As near as I can tell, half the Buffyverse knows there's supernatural stuff out there, they...
