Polls are odd

[k8cre8]

So, I've had a mere 7 responses to my little poll. There are a number of odd little surprises, more on those soonish, but, there was also an interesting little inspiration. My "haggis-on-a-stick" suggesting friend suggested Buffy BatHotH. (That's Betrayal at the House on the Hill). It *would* lend itself well to a Buffy flavored expansion, and wouldn't be too hard to create a handful of scenarios, and Buffy stat-ed player characters. Might be fun. Anyone want to help?

It also started me thinking about possibly "Buffy-izing" a few more games, just 'cause. We've (I've) never played the CTC, though I own several decks of it. (dirt cheap off e-bay).  Mythos gets played, as does the trivia game, but, it sorta stops there. I'm thinking of maybe a Buffy version of "Get out" (Monopoly done right), or Buffy "Life" (I don't own a copy, and am not likely to, but, it's commonly re-licensed for different things, so you get the idea. Anyone have a game they're dying to see in Buffy form? Am I insane? (the answer, is a resounding "yes," of course.)

I wish I could say the idea were mine but if you look under "files" for the game here there are buffy covers for the player cards.

Mmmmm, stick o' haggis...

Well, character skins are one thing, but, my thought was, possibly, to add a handful of scenarios. Maybe, maybe not. Since I don't own a copy of the game, I may need to come up with a list of counters/chits, or just come up with new ones.

I'd help on the BAHOTH front in coming up with mechanics or something. A HUSH scenario? (It's the only episode--actually 3/4ths of an episode--I've ever seen.)

Schwweeet. And, well, you probably should see the last 1/4. Just saying... (It's about the *perfect* Buffy episode in many ways...)

"Clue" seems like a likely candidate for adaptation, both for the mystery element and because they've licensed it before, i.e. "The Simpsons". Of course, since there is a lot of audience crossover between hardcore Buffy fans and serious gamers, this may be far too pedestrian.

It's a good starting point, though, because (like Monopoly), Clue is popular despite its lousy mechanics, so it just cries out for modification...

I'm all about a Buffy BaHotH, but there's just one little problem: there's no Little Timmy (the increasingly murdered Peter Akimoto) in the Buffy-verse. I might actually live through a game if that happens.

You know, there's plenty of material for a Buffy Munchkin game...

I was thinking Munchkin as well! The irreverence is a nice fit.

That would've never occurred to me. Although, I like the idea of John kovalic drawing the Scoobies. Oooh! Buffy Chez Geek!
