The Scooby Gang. BTVS meets Pulp Alley
« on: May 11, 2017, 09:34:41 AM »
I woke up early this morning thinking what a great idea it would be to play a Pulp Alley campaign based on Buffy The Vampire Slayer using Vice Alley campaign (good guys vs bad guys battling for control of a city), using solo and horror rules.

Has anyone else tried this?

What sort of stats do you reckon for starting season 1
-Buffy Summers
-Giles
-Angel
-Willow
-Xander etc.

Interested to hear if anyone has done it already or to develop some stats in this thread and put some free to download character cards together.

I dunno about stats, but Hasslefree has loads of minis which would suit this.

What a great idea.  The Scooby gang are perfect for Pulp Alley.
Hmm...
Allotting dice accordingly, Buffy Summers must, of course be the Leader. Very strong in Brawl -- Moxie and Savage, and perhaps Danger Sense or Quick Witted.
I think, for Season One, I would have either Giles or Willow for Sidekick, as Angel's status (is he good or evil?) was still very equivocal.
Giles...Deductive or Inventor?
Willow -- something to represent her nerdiness...Harmless, perhaps, since her evolution into witchcraft didn't begin until Season Two.
Xander -- the none too adept foot soldier.
No Cordelia?
Might be fun to fudge the season canon a bit and include Oz -- the shapechanging Werewolf.
For Season One, the Big Bad would be The Master, of course, with Luke as his Sidekick, and Darla in his league as well.
 ;D

I was thinking of 2 x sidekick and creating cards for Giles, Willow, Angel, Ryan and eventually Spike and varying the make up of the league from episode to episode.

I must hunt out the miniatures painted and more difficultly the unpainted ones! I know I brought the Willow figure at least from Hasselfree. What other Buffy figures do they do? Any recommendations from other manufacturers? I have the Ground Zero figures at the moment. I ordered some vampire and demon heads from a company in Poland yesterday with the intention to use some modern plastic civilian types and head swap them to make some bad guys to have their butts kicked by Buffy.

Check out West Wind for their Vampire Wars and Road Kill figure lines, including a "female vampire slayer":

Doesn't Hasslefree actually have a not-Buffy?

EDIT: Yes three versions, actually. Look at "Young Sadie" "Sadie" and "Elite Sadie"

Great idea. And yes hasslefree have a 'buffy' and a 'Willow'.

Any ideas or improvements?
I know she's got an extra skill, but she is 'The Slayer', and their is only one, (apart from when she dies and another is called before she's resurrected of course), and difficult to choose which one not to use.

Thank's he looks rather good.
I have some 15 year ols GZ figures, so will probably start with those and upgrade when I can!
I have the Hasselfree Willow (but she's a bit to powerful in that sculpt for season 1!), and the elite Sadie miniature.

Any recommendations for Cordelia or Angel?

That Foundry Elisabeth McSweeney special edition mini is awesome!

And since she's really Buffy, The Chosen One, no further improvements are possible, or needed, IMHO!  ;)

Not that I've given it any thought ;) but Eureka's classic cheerleaders might supply one:

No ideas for a David Boreanaz though.

Here are my initial thoughts for season 1 Giles & Willow





Let me know if you can think of any improvements.
The plan is to take 'Company of Heroes' perk for 2 slots to enable inclusion of a 2nd sidekick and then vary the league from game to game.
