Okay, not too sure I agree with the move. After all, this does detail both the Buffy and Angel RPGs, and even though they are basically the same thing, I wouldn't put them both under the heading 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer RPG'. That is akin to putting all Buffy-related comics under one heading, whereas WikiProject Buffy does of course differentiate between comics that are 'Buffy', 'Angel' or 'Buffyverse' (as well as other distinctions). I think that as long as this details both the Buffy and Angel RPGs (the 'Buffyverse' RPGs) it should go back to the old title. Jayunderscorezero 15:12, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I agree with this, Angel RPG is treated by Eden as a similar but still separate game. Former article name reflected this better. --A/B 'Shipper 女 ^(talk) 15:22, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I strongly agree with explanations above. I think the name should be reverted back, unless someone knows enough about the Angel RPG & write it it's own article. Until that's the case, how can it be called Buffy when it's about Buffy & Angel RPGS??? -- Buffyverse 19:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I worked on and wrote sections of both games. While they are distinct (and the Angel RPG won an Origins award for best RPG) I don't think there is enough to merit two articles. They are more alike than different. Web Warlock 19:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

What if someone wants to know about the Angel RPG, are we saying that that person should assume that the information is included on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer (role-playing game) article? Maybe so that they are not distinct enough to bother with two separate articles.. So I made it clearer the article is about the two RPGs, Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel, then reverted the to the previous article title, -- Buffyverse 21:50, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that, guys. Just thought it deserved sorting out. Jayunderscorezero 22:08, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

I playtested this game and I didn't see why another set of rules would be needed for Angel. I stil don't. The supplementary material specifically for Angel is cool but the "world" is the same. Will in New Haven

[edit] Drama Points

The drama point system is the best attempt at that sort of thing that I have ever seen. The best part is that the characters who need them the most get them. I still don't like making game decisions that my character can't make and would have no way of percieving but that's just the immersionist in me. Lots of people love them and they make the geeky sidekick more viable. Everyone cannot be a slayer. Will in New Haven
