New to Twilight 2013

[Metrazol_Man]

I saw the original Twilight at a flea market some years ago, and while I didn't purchase it the concept the game intrigued me. Back in September of this year I bought the core rulebook for Twilight 2013; while the Twilight 2000 I saw at the flea market had all sorts of papers and things with it, I only got the rulebook for Twilight 2013.

So question time...

1.) What do I need to actually play Twilight? I have a handful of gaming dice, as specified in the rulebook, but I've never tried playing a game like this before.

2.) Can the game be played with just two individuals? I'm a bit low on actual friends, but my usual drinking buddy is interested in giving this game a try with me.

3.) Do you do 'play by e-mail' or maybe have regular games on this forum? Its the only forum I can find related to Twilight 2013.

4.) Exactly how the hell do you create a player-character (the rulebook has me hopelessly lost)? How in depth do you need to go to create NPC's for say a situation where a PC is engaged in combat with say a group of nameless enemies?

5.) Do you write down the actions of each scene, or just jot down some basic notes of everything that transpired between the PC and the nameless enemies?

6.) I saw there are multiple PDF's from 93Game Studios regarding weapons of different types. They seem to sell for around $3.00; are they worth the purchase?

7.) I noticed there are also many supplements for Twilight 2000, are they compatible with Twilight 2013? Many of them look highly entertaining.

Sorry to deluge you all with questions, and I appreciate any forthcoming answers!
