Converted from Phorums BB System

The most notable difference is the presentation. Angel reads in a more serious, grim mood, with a darker humor, a definite contrast to the more lighthearted theme of Buffy. C.J. Carella did a fantastic job in both books of capturing the mood of each series.

Mechanically it has reduced magic rules (it does have ritual magic, but as the series has no Willow, it doesn't delve further), and I believe it also doesn't have specific rules for making slayers. However, what it adds is very nice. This includes demon creation rules (good for PCs AND NPCs), and a very cool organization creation system, allowing you to take a point pool like you would have to generate a PC, and use it to flesh out an organization, be it a paranormal detective agency, the Initiative, Wolfram and Hart, or whatever..
