Bugs: Recent Topics Paging, Uploading Images & Preview (11 Dec 2020)
Recent Topics paging, uploading images and preview bugs require a patch which has not yet been released.
This is part of a series of bloody matches to the death. Show support for your favorite game so it will do better in the fight. You can support it by writing why you think its the better game and more importantly by betting (i.e. voting for) it. Please make it clear for when I check the bets later. You have until Friday when I tally the bets and declare the winner. I will reserve my bet for any tie-breakers.
Although you should be familiar with both games, there is no rule that says you have to have played both of them. The only rule in Trashdome is this;
Two games enter! One game leaves!

Just because you use fallacies in your arguments doesn't mean you have to be a phallus.

A) Buffy sucks
Therefore voting for Buffy sucks
That's watertight. Vote BETRAYAL. Don't be a coward.

Where was there a fallacy? The logic works out:

Exactly. You employ fear, an appeal to the masses and non sequitur.
The game is water tight. The executive and conceptual themes line up perfectly. The moon phases track wouldn't work for any game besides one with vampires and werewolves, as would the rules for vampires not being able to enter into peoples homes. Ditto for the slaying of vampires, you've got to get their health down and then use a wooden stake card. All the other bad guys and good guys can be killed just by beating on them.
Betrayal's game play on the other hand leaks like an old man with a bladder problem - everywhere.

Buffy, on the other hand, is not only the greatest tv show ever (although I can see why claiming otherwise would appeal to wannabe rebels who would, for instance, go so far as to vote for A Touch of Evil to show they don't think as the masses do), it's also one hell of a game. It scales well, it's simple yet tactical, and it totally captures the somewhat silly yet dramatic mood of the show.
My vote: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
One more thing: I bought the UK edition by accident. It's a roll and move game that has absolutely nothing to do with Buffy other than the box cover. So if you find it on eBay and it looks cheap, you'd better make sure it's the US game.

Buffy may suck, but BETRAYAL sucks more. I could take a dump in a box and the result would be a better game than BETRAYAL. In fact, I think I have. And it was.

BETRAYAL's fucked up in a lot of ways, no doubt. But that doesn't stop people from digging it like the BUFFY license does. That even non-gamers are willing to play the game despite all the errors and discrepancies says a lot. If at the end you don't care about all the problems and you just go along for the ride then you're a gamer of class and dignity. If you whine and complain that a silly, 45 minute b-grade horror game has goofy rules and some screwups...well, there's websites out there that will glady brook your nonsense.

Look, all I'm saying is that you guys can take your little vampire prom game and file it next to MALL MADNESS for all I care.

BETRAYAL may have been published by a huge American company, but it has a lot in common with amateurish cottage industry Euro titles. Let's be honest, a cardboard circle that says "CHAINSAW" on it is the moral equivalent of a wooden cube. The game was rushed to the printer with far, far more typos than your average RIO GRANDE title (which is saying quite a lot). The haunts may as well have been written in German. The title even has the letter "Y" in it.
If this was from YSTARI or even DOW, you'd be its fiercest critic, Michael. You'd be saying "as long as the fanboys buy this shit, the publishers have no incentive to produce games of quality." Say no to BETRAYAL.

I'm no nerd. You don't see me on the Star Trek movie thread debating the merits of Star Trek: Next Generation vs. Star Trek: Deep Space 9.

If people keep voting against the tv show, I'm going to switch my vote in favor of Buffy just to protest the silliness.
I think the appropriate protest vote is DUMP IN A BOX.

I vote Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
