I probably wouldn't worry about which edition I picked up, since my interest would be in the GMing material, not the actual rules. It sounds like both games would work for that. :) Sounds good, Jeff.

The new <i>Buffy</i> corebook is a revision, rather than a 2nd edition -- no old material is invalidated, and the changes that were made were done so to bring about mechanical consistency with <i>Angel</i>. Further, most (if not all) of the new information in the revised corebook will show up in <i>Welcome to Sunnydale</i>, whenever it makes it out of approval hell and to the printer. The differences that are there are reflective of the difference in tone between the two series -- as Doyle said, in <i>Angel</i>, "it's time to make with the grown-up talk now."

Between your recommendation and John's essay, I'm definitely interested in seeing what I can learn from it. :) A friend of mine just picked up the new version of Buffy, which I’m assuming has a lot of sections in common with Angel.

No immediate comments as to trying to improve the essay itself, though it's got some food for thought.
