Says the guy who has admittedly never played the game.

And votes for the game that IS dog crap.

Don't be afraid of Barnes' fascist rhetoric people. Vote Buffy: The Vampire Slayer THE GAME.

Don't be afraid of Barnes' fascist rhetoric people. Kiss other boys, dress up like Judy Garland, and listen to Cher.

Isn't this what you really meant to say, metalface? It's OK, you can say it, we're all friends here.

This thread contains everything that is great in the world. I have never played either game, and am not really interested in them. But hot damn if this isn't the best trashdome I've ever read.

Vote: Bring out the yo mama jokes and you guys will have hit all the comedy buttons.

Well, beuks33, I know I sure hit all your mama's buttons last night.

Warming up ... warming up.

For once we agree.

A) Buffy sucks

To which I can only reply: and so does your mother. Quite well, actually.

I'm on fire!

Beuks- we really need for you to vote BETRAYAL. If you don't, there is some doubt as to whether Trashdome will continue or not. A vote for BETRAYAL is a vote for Trashdome.

Scenario #72: Two Games Enter, One Game Leaves!

The first voting phase is now over.

If you voted for Buffy:



If you voted for Betrayal:

I'll have to vote Betrayal.

Just like last Trashdome I've only played one game of the two...In this case Betrayal.

What I really like about Betrayal is the way the game starts. This has been harped on by some people where the first part of the game seems pointless, which for the most part it is.

What I find interesting about the first part of the game, and I'm not even sure if this was intentional, but with the slow pace at which the game starts off the game naturally flows for teaching new people the game or non-gamers the game.

At the beginning all you really have to explain is the overview of the character's stats, how to move and how to explore and give them an overview of how the game is going to flow with the explore and then haunt portions of the game. Skill checks and haunt checks can be explained as the game progresses. So the learning curve is built into the first part of the game during exploring and by the time the haunt happens new people should have the game rules and mechanics down pretty well.

What happens though is as people become familar with the game the explore portion becomes a bit pointless and people already familar withe everything may find that portion of the game a bit boring because the haunt is what really makes the game interesting.

I will admit that as I've been thinning my collection Betrayal has bounced back and fort between the "to go" pile and "to keep" pile...Finally I think it has settled into the "to keep" pile because of the reasons above and how accessible it makes the game to a wide audience.

While Mr. Tush makes multiple valid arguments in favor of Betrayal, I cant help but still wonder, "Is that Aarontu guy taken?"

I lost my "dripping with seven token" fairly early on though. Sad story.

I'm just really curious as to how many BUFFY supporters would call themselves fans of the TEEN WOLF films.

Dude! I freaking LOVED Teen Wolf.


"No wolf...ah, no wolf...ah...no part."


"What do you think about...to get worked up?"


"I want you...to give me...a keg...of BEER."
