My partner George Vasilakos heard that Score Entertainment (publishers of the Buffy collectible card game) held the RPG license but were looking for an outside design team to handle it.

We have done a bit of RPG development in our time, and figured we were the best for the job. We submitted a proposal. It wasn�t easy and we had some tough competition, but in the end our blatant grovelling and obsequious mewing got us noticed.

We approached our good friend CJ Carella to handle the writing chores. CJ is a top-notch game designer, creator of Eden�s house game system (the Unisystem). Better yet, he is a freaky Buffy fan and didn�t give a second thought to offering his soul to write the book.
