Not my game, but I saw it elsewhere and thought you guys might be interested.

"Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one... She is the Slayer."
"To my three beautiful girls. May this give you the light to find the shadows. The power of three will set you free."

So this is like....Multiverse Crisis but with tv shows instead of anime and video games?

@Tempest
Looks like it, to an extent, probably with better reasons for mixing the genres. But people are always looking for new non-WoD urban horror stuff to play, so I threw it up here. I am not on there, so I can't give it an up or down, but figured it couldn't hurt to post it. -
Out of curiosity, if you've poked at it, do they have mechanics? Or is it more like a superhero/etc game and pretty much consent based?

Just a cursory evaluation on their wiki seems to be traits-based with competency levels to help factor into the play.

Twilight vampires? Pass.
-
Very curious how the vampire stuff works, since the various themes mentioned use mythology rules for them that are quite different, to varying degrees. I'm intrigued by the "vaguely different than other games" of it, at least.
-
I was kind of intrigued, until..yeah. Even ignoring Twilight, for some reason...FCs in this setting really turn me off. Whereas I love them in comic & anime games. I have surprisingly little interest to play with Sam & Dean despite loving the show, or Piper/Paige/Phoebe even though I've watched all of Charmed 3+ times probably.

Insert Wincest joke of your choice here.

Looking over the wiki, I was kind of getting Heroes Dreams vibes. Admittedly, it was very cursory and I could easily be wrong.
-
Twilight? Really? Fuck. No.
I'd rather rip my own eyeballs out with a shard of glass.
-
Honestly, it depends how it is handled.
This seems like a ripe setting to explore Blade vs Edward.
