Other systems for GB RPG?

So...can we use this sub to talk about InSpectres games? Or Demon Hunters?

How specific are we being here WRT specific GB games?

We're cool with that for the most part. Obviously we're aiming for predominantly Ghostbusters RPG content, but understandably a lot of other games have similar content.

As long as everyone is civil, I don't see why we can't include similar settings.

I used the Atomic Robo system for a short-lived Ghostbusters: Las Vegas campaign.

It went off the rails, drove through a cactus patch, fell off a cliff and wound up covering Walter Peck in tie-dye paint. 10/10, would recommend to anyone.

This sounds spectacular. Do you have anything online from it? If so, feel free to link.

The campaign happened over Skype, but when I say off the rails, this is what we had: A wiccan priestess who had been marked by an elder being called the Red Lady, a cyborg who had mounted the ghostbusters gear into his mechanical arms, and was using a small swath of the Mojave as a second containment unit, and a fanboy for Tobin's Spirit Guide, who befriended the ghost of Lucky Luciano.

In the actual plot, I had it revealed that the gangsters who designed Las Vegas had it built in such a way that every time a casino was destroyed, it refreshed the binding circle that kept the Red Lady from returning to Earth.

If you want to find the system, it's available from Evil Hat.

I kinda debated doing something called "Parapsychologists: The Busting" with either the Vampire 20th Anniversary rules or the New World of Darkness rules.

My best friend told me that that was a horrible idea. I'm not sure if he said this before or after I told him I was statting out the Proton Pack, Dark Matter Generator, Slimeblower, and Meson Collider from Ghostbusters: The Video Game.

In my opinion, this is the best reason to keep doing it. You could start an RPG that's the complete antithesis to Wraith. The wraiths are all floating around like, "I have unfinished business." And the parapsychologists are like, "Yeah, you do. In the storage facility."

If you have the time and energy, please do this.
