On a scale of zero (no interest) to 10 (obsession), how interested would you be in wargaming the Twilight saga?

DColtman18 Nov 2011 1:18 p.m. PST

0.

I would rather hammer my toes flat.

Can I import Blade into the setting?

Stealth100018 Nov 2011 1:24 p.m. PST

Blade… Hell yes. I have blade mini for that. Twilight. Hell no.

richarDISNEY18 Nov 2011 1:25 p.m. PST

Honestly…
About a 6. I'd give it a go.
Only if I get to kill off that Jake werewolf 'dude'.

"Only if I get to kill off that Jake werewolf 'dude'"

Only if I could kill them all. Freakin gaming Blade would be AWESOME. Blade would be the ONLY reason I would put these idiots in a game.

Hhhmm I could play against the wife. She could play the teens and I'll play Blade, Van Hellsing(Hugh Jackman) and Ash.

The sun has already set on this topic…

John D Salt18 Nov 2011 1:39 p.m. PST

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

Unusually, a visit to Wikipedia does very little to relieve me of my ignorance. The Twilight (disambiguation) page gives 31 films, TV series, books and comics that share the title. I am guessing that it isn't Twilight Sparkle, a fictional character in the TV series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, and I can't say that on a brief glance any of the other 30 possibilities look more promising.

All these complications mean that my vote will probably have to be an octonion.

All the best,

John.

Jakse37518 Nov 2011 1:39 p.m. PST

NO, it might make my wife actually want to play a game once, so that would be a double no.

Ken Portner18 Nov 2011 1:54 p.m. PST

That vampire guy is just dreamy!

Only Warlock18 Nov 2011 1:58 p.m. PST

Is there a chart to handle "Teen Angst"?

I assume Boxcars mean you write a Dark Poem and then cry slowly in your parent's basement about the drama of being in love with a vampire.

Only Warlock18 Nov 2011 1:58 p.m. PST

Oh, and my vote is -74 on the 0-10 chart.

Sundance18 Nov 2011 2:00 p.m. PST

0. First thing I'd do is drive stakes through the hearts of the other players. Then I'd go for pizza.

Caesar18 Nov 2011 2:00 p.m. PST

They mostly come out at night.
Mostly.

vojvoda18 Nov 2011 2:10 p.m. PST

Zero, no interest at all.

Little Big Wars18 Nov 2011 2:11 p.m. PST

I'd have to mix it in with the Sunnydale crew… unfortunately Ed has a big leg-up on Spike and Angel (bursting into flame during the daytime constantly really sucks).

Farstar18 Nov 2011 2:24 p.m. PST

Only if it's in a Chicago area mall, after hours, at a pizza joint, and you switch sparklers for LARPers.

Except this time Harry Dresden isn't around.

Redcurrant18 Nov 2011 2:32 p.m. PST

0 – absolutely no interest whatsoever gaming this – have not even been bothered to watch the series.

Keelhauled18 Nov 2011 2:32 p.m. PST

Zero. No thanks.

Eclectic Wave18 Nov 2011 2:42 p.m. PST

Interest -1

Mild interest in wondering if anyone could come with a "sparkly" skin tone for the vampire figures.

basileus6618 Nov 2011 2:50 p.m. PST

I didn't know that malformed literary creature titled "Twilight" could be gamed! Maybe as part of a campaign for Cthulu, with the characters losing sanity if they read/watch the novels/movies… I wonder what would made them lose more sanity: reading the Necronomicon or the Twilight saga?

21eRegt18 Nov 2011 2:55 p.m. PST

Negative 10. That dross passing for literature and wooden acting of the movies is numbing.

SBminisguy18 Nov 2011 2:55 p.m. PST

I can imagine the game might sound something like this…

"Ok, you order your vampires to charge…but they failed their teen angst roll and stop in place to bemoan the unfairness of it all…"

"Ok, can I try to rally them?"

"No, your vampire leader is trying not to suck his girlfriend dry of blood, so he's laying down while she rubs his scalp understandingly."

CeruLucifus18 Nov 2011 3:46 p.m. PST

Yeah, just can't see interest. I always thought a vampire RPG was an absurd idea -- oh look we're all monsters of the night, so misunderstood -- and this would be like that only with teenage love affairs too.

GoGators18 Nov 2011 4:02 p.m. PST

Nuke this thread from orbit. It is the only way to be sure!

dmebust18 Nov 2011 4:07 p.m. PST

Well the wife and oldest granddaughter did the midnight showing last night. If nothing else I can count on at least two players if I did game it.

Fisherking18 Nov 2011 4:16 p.m. PST

My group already does wargame " My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic". It makes for some intense skirmish scenarios. Zero interest in the emo/goth teenie boppers from Twighlight though. Some things are too horiffic to contemplate.

kreoseus218 Nov 2011 4:17 p.m. PST

The only redeemed use for the twillight books is if I put a few in a sack and beat Jedward to death with them.

corporalpat18 Nov 2011 4:19 p.m. PST

Abso-freakin-lutly zero. Although the characters from the books and movies would be wonderfully satisfying to crush in a game. But then again, I'd rather it was the author.

NWMike18 Nov 2011 4:50 p.m. PST

Playing the characters from the movies? Oh hell no!

Making the characters from the movies the "objective" that the players get to slaughter like a pack of rabid bunnies? You could talk me into that!

Farstar18 Nov 2011 4:55 p.m. PST

I think Fortress even makes the min… oh. LIKE a pack of rabid bunnies, not WITH a pack of rabid bunnies.

10 if it causes everything Twilight to magically vanish from the face of the earth and nobody remembers it, ever …

Would the mechanics include a Sparkle Save versus damage? 'Cuz that's a deal breaker if it isn't there.

Jemima Fawr18 Nov 2011 6:36 p.m. PST

Is that the film where a girl has to choose between necrophilia and bestiality?

Personal logo 20thmaine Supporting Member of TMP18 Nov 2011 6:37 p.m. PST

Good wholesome family entertainment.

"I would rather hammer my toes flat"

Thanks DColtman, I'm now wearing my drink for laughing.

jpattern218 Nov 2011 7:22 p.m. PST

10, if my OGRE gets to move first.

I would rather let DColtman hammer my toes flat.

Seriously…Twilight is one of the worst examples of what the Hollywood machine can vomit forth…just say no to 500yr old sparkle emo guys that cruise the high schools looking to hook up with 16yr old girls.
