What do you think about mixing BtS with Slasher flick?

I Known 2 thing Survival of all Players is Not a Foregone conclusion!
more then Half of the Group are fated to die with only one Survivor.

the other thing is Group must be in a Isolated place!

How wood you make the Killed?

I wouldn't agree... a a player, I generally dislike the concept of the disposable character ... that's why I found Paranoia limited, and never got much involved in CoC...

Of course, you could set up a one shot along those lines, if you've got players who'll go along... but do you intend to make it inot a campaign? (well, I guess that mini campaign is the most it could last)

Something like "Jason" would probably get it's head handed to it. He had his hands full with a single psychic girl, never mind a whole team of psychics working in concert against him.

You can easily do it though. Just have them do creation as a normal person. Have them roll their stats and roll on the education table and the character is done. No Psi-Powers, no magic, instant victims

it sounds like a cool idea although I know nothing about bts so i don't know how it would work in this setting. but I know i'd enjoy it even if I knew my character would die.

Jason is only a zombie.

Freddy Krueger with his Dream powers can go against Arcanist and Psychics!

I will need to get the nightbane:between the shadows to get info on the living nightmare that is what Freddy is.

One more thing What do you think about the nightmare lord from the Shadow board site?

I may make one Freddy,s BOSS!

In regards to supernaturally powered slashers, any properly made and played super powered character can do the trick. Imagine a serial killer with the powers of Superman. Now imagine how BTS characters would view something like that...

Other than that, I'd let the players know in advance that its a slasher game. That way people know whether or not they want to play and can help create the proper mood.
