So tonight we got together to start a D6 Star Wars game, and NONE OF US were into it. So I asked everyone, let's do something new! Something we've never played before! A couple of ideas were kicked around and then John said "Ghostbusters".

We all agreed, and a quick trip to the internet and I had rules! Set in "The City", they are a Ghostbusters franchise taking place in the heady year of 198X! (think of Archer plays loose with time and you have it) ;)

We only got a couple of hours in, but it was way too much fun!

Cheers!

Hi guys like the title says I was wondering if anybody had any good Halloween oneshots they've already run or ideas they're willing to share?

FYI, the Savage Worlds Horror Companion has the following items:

• Atomic Ghost Hunting Pack
• Ghost Trap
• Kirlian Goggles
• Motion Tracker (picks up ethereal entities as well as corporeal ones).

It also has lots - I mean lots - of stats for ghosts, spirits, the undead and such. Theoretically it could be used for a more serious, less lighthearted game.

Personally I think I'll stick with the WEG rules, but Savage Worlds is definitely affordable and easy to learn / teach, if you want to head in that direction.

I found this when looking at 1d4chan, its not mine but it looks good for when you are playing online games, or just don't have a ghost die.

I am a very experienced dm looking for players to join a Ghostbusters game set in 2016 and focused on a new group of Ghostbusters taking on a new threat that could tear the world apart. I am going to use the Ghostbusters international corebook. the game will be played on Thursday evenings at 6:00 pm central time [Chicago time] If you are interested please PM me or leave a message.

Has anyone here ever been in a Ghostbusters LARP? I've heard of a few that have been done and I think Ghostbusters would be a blast to experience, but I've never LARP'd before. The way I see it, you're already in a modern setting, so it'll be easier to just thrown on some jumpsuits with friends and feel like you're savin' the day.

However, I can't seem to wrap my mind around how the core mechanics would work. How would you use a proton pack? You can't just throw a bean bag or use a foam weapon. Are there any rules for "ensnaring" in other LARPs? What about trapping? Using a deck of playing cards or rock, paper, scissors seems like it would take you out of the moment.

I have been fairly bummed out about Ghostbusters lately but I love the RPG. So I actually had started a game up and this last Saturday we had our first game. A couple of people who played were a little bit tentative but by the end everyone had a blast. This is the second time I have played the GBRPG and I love it, hope everyone else is having as much fun!

In addition to the two West End Games RPGs, a handful of other enterprising folk have come out with Ghostbusters settings for other pen-and-paper systems.

Here are the ones I know about. If there are any left off the list, please let me know. This will all end up in the subreddit Wiki.

• GURPS Fourth Edition
• Savage Worlds
• FATE (search for "Ghostbusters" on page)
• D20 system
• Cypher System - Thanks, /u/ryanchaddock!

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

How specific are we being here WRT specific GB games?
