Hi y'all, I was interested in running a Buffy style Urban Fantasy game, I had a look through some of the more obvious and popular choices like the Buffy RPG and the World of Darkness and Curseborne options, as well as the Powered by the Apocalypse games like Monster of the Week.

My problem with those tho is that they're all rules lite, and I prefer a bit more structure to my games, can anyone offer any recommendations? cos otherwise I was thinking about homebrewing over the Dark Heresy rules.

Thanks in advance!

One game that might fit the bill or at least serve as a good base for a homebrew is East Texas University. It's heavily inspired by BtVS and uses the generic Savage Worlds system, which should make it easy to adapt, possibly making use of the Horror, Fantasy, and Super Powers Companions. I haven’t played ETU yet but Savage Worlds as a system delivers pulp action with a good bit of crunch, especially for fights — somewhere in the middle between GURPS and Fate, I’d say.
