[QUOTE="Clueless, post: 3522011, member: 11802"] That's cause he wasn't a vampire hunter. He was a sys admin / programmer who got dumped into the position of field agent b/c of the girl. :) All of them can go into Twilight, not just the vampires (a thing not played up well in the movie). I strongly suggest reading the book - it explains the background of the powers much better. And gives you a much deeper feel for how the magic truly works. And it's ten times better than the movie - and you know how good the movie was. ;) Heck, that movie really only covered say... the first third of the first book. I'd go with GURPS Voodoo, or use the rules but not the setting of Mage - and just tweak that single system for it - treating vampires and werewolves as specialized mages within the system, and revising the paradox system to handle Light/Dark debt (again, read the book guys). Part of the reason I say Mage here is because the cinematic effects some of you guys are mentioning - the fights, the car scenes... those are magic fueled in the books. You've indirectly highlighted the difference between vulgar and non-vulgar magic in Mage by assuming those cinematic effects weren't magically fueled and would need mechanics like those in Feng Shui to handle. ;) [/QUOTE]
