The Twilight phenomenon has swept across the world. It started with the books by Stephanie Meyer and was quickly followed by the whirlwind film.
Personally, I love the Twilight series. Initially I was hesitant to read the books but once I did I was absolutely hooked. And though my husband didn’t read them he was so kind and willing to take me to see the movie last November. Surprisingly, he really enjoyed it.
Not only did my husband enjoy it but even some of the other gamers we play with, all men, read the series and found it highly entertaining.
This got me thinking. Why not try to, from the knowledge I had in the books, do my best to create those characters as possible PC’s?
It was tougher than I expected and I tried making them using several different game systems such as d20 Modern and Vampire the Requiem. Although they are great systems, my characters just weren’t turning out the way that I wanted them to.
Then my newfound love of Savage World crept up. Once introduced to it I simply couldn’t say enough good about it. Character creation is clean and concise and like most other good systems it’s pretty open to a myriad of campaign possibilities.
Therefore, throughout the next week I will be releasing a character from the book that should be ready to be dropped into a campaign or one shot setting. There will be Human-Bella, Vampire-Bella, Charlie (Bella’s father) and Edward Cullen.
As for campaign ideas I leave that up to you. The rules for Savage Worlds are relatively easy and if you have seen the movie or read the books I don’t imagine it would be too difficult to come up with a plot idea.
Enjoy! And let me know if anyone decides to run a Savage Twilight game. I would love to hear what you think. I am looking forward to running one myself!

I think this is a great idea.
While I don’t care for the series much myself, I do unsteand it’s appeal.
As a developer of horror-themed games, I am also looking to capture the same market.
I am looking forward to seeing what you develop for this.
