Coming soon to your friendly neighborhood games shoppe, it’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Game. This time it’s you. You are the Joss Whedon.Sounds almost as charming as the WWF "roleplaying" game.
Ok, maybe you’re the heroes, but you do get to run through what is essentially your own special season of the show each time you play the
game.
Buffy is a fully cooperative action game with you and your friends
slinging magic and martial arts against a barrage of monsters of the
week as they terrorize the townies (yes, the game uses those terms).
Their demonic/vampiric mayhem leads up to a final challenge with your season’s “bigbad” as you struggle to defend Sunnydale.
The foes are drawn from enemies faced throughout the TV series, with
many providing interesting twists such as keeping the players from
speaking to each other or forcing you to sing. There are even mechanics
for player controlled characters regularly becoming one of the bad guys
for a little while, because that’s what happens in the show after all.
You and up to 5 friends are, of course, major heroes from the show
(Buffy, Xander, Giles, Angel, Willow, etc.). Perhaps controversially
Spike is a playable character, not an enemy, but hey once in a while he
can be the one to turn against the group.
All of this is amidst a backdrop of stopping an ever impending
Apocalypse, with its own countdown counter on the board. If you don’t patrol, find the baddies, and slay them the world as we know it comes
to an end. No pressure.

WWE. They lost their trademark dispute with the World Wildlife Foundation.
Anyway, I like wrestling. I think the over-the-top drama might make for a good game.

For 'lost' read 'finally ran out of places to appeal their original loss
over thirty years ago to.'

Apparently, there are all sorts of online wrestling RP communities[1].
From some of the drama that has spilled out, they could use a good set of rules rather than "everyone votes on who wrote the best story of the
match."
[1] And similar things, such as the Poke Combat Academy: Based around
anthro Pokemon in school and learning how to be the best in the arena.
