Army of Darkness RPG from Eden Studios (2008) focuses mostly on this era, so we already have the rules we need, and Pylea is detailed in supplemental materials for Angel RPG. Although this information is sparse, and Pylea is only the focus of the TV show for one or two episodes, I have enough to go on if I use another third-party source to flesh-out the rest (I simply do not have time to create another entire fantasy world from scratch). I also need a fantasy bestiary, which The Arcanum provides. This means I only need to change some things and not create everything from whole cloth.
I haven't gotten into the meat and potatoes of it yet, aside from what I have published, but making Pylea the center of my fantasy campaign keeps everything streamlined and organized in my campaign world. A Buffy/Angel future still exists on the Prime Material Plane, and interdimensional travel makes adventuring in Pylea a real option for modern day characters. Deadites are all but just another demon clan with which Slayers must contend, yet no less harrowing when they appear on our realm.
Humans, trolls, and the Deathwok and Gathwok Demon clans are the major races on Pylea, but I have added Fairies to better round-out the fantasy elements. These are found in Lawyers, Gods, and Money, which also contains Centaurs. Snake folk and Naga round-out the playable races.
I was wrong about all the portals back and forth between dimensions; Pylea and Earth are one thing, but even those portals are rare. Those to Quortoth are almost all one-way and there are few of them. However rare, such portals do exist and interdimensional travel between these dimensions is possible if not available.
