Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of hell
Rode the six hundred."

In theory I would think BTS2 would work with a more "Urban Fantasy" setting. The trick would be figuring out how the "psyhic boosts" work around the fantasy elements. Before you dive too far into it I would encourage you to read up on how psychics work in BTS2 (this is the most drastic and in my opinion the best change of the BTS rules from the first edition.)
if your fantasy creatures (creatures of magic) trigger psyhic abilites the same as supernatural baddies do then I think BTS2 would provide exactly what your looking for.

ZOMG yes.
BTS is fantasy, not horror. The characters are just as supernatural as the monsters they fight. If you want a horror game, use the Victim rules in the back of BTS 1.
As seen in Rifter 20
Called "disturbing" by Therumancer.

Yes they need the Victim rules.
Maybe they will another BtS,s sourcebook.
