Opportunity for a potentially destructive RP (Ghostbusting) (Dead)

[ShadowWolfSBI]

No, I'm trying to seriously destroy things. Instead, I've been looking at possibly running a game using the

rules. (Semi-official *free* source there...) And well... Proton packs aren't exactly precision devices...

Anyway, the game, if it runs, will be set in a fictitious town in the Rocky Mountain area, probably somewhere in Colorado. The player characters will be new hires at a Ghostbusters franchise location in the town, under a more experience 'Buster. And of course, there's going to be a few haunted locations around town, including a fancy hotel. Because that's almost required.

If I get enough posted interest, I'll throw up some more details about the town, and a template/format for character posting.

EDIT: Derp, forgot to mention: Rules are d6-based Dice Pools, with a special Ghost Die (That's the nasty one, by the way. 1d6-1 to handle electronically, zero is the ghost). I've gotten information that will let me handle that electronically, without the actual die. Also, forum or chat based will be determined by scheduling of available players. And what can be best used.

The old-school West End Games version? SWEET. I'm interested. Don't know when I'll find the damned time... but definitely interested.

Okay, a few more details worked out now. Namely, a few major NPCs and notes about the location and starting conditions for the story stuffs:

Michael Serin (NPC) is going to be the Franchise Owner. He's also going to be the On-Site Commander at first, which basically means he'll be tagging along on runs to argue with the client over payment (Boring stuff) while the characters get to do the fun stuff, like accidentally destroying property with the Proton Streams.

There will be another, currently unnamed, experienced 'Buster NPC who will be handling equipment maintenance and such. He'll be on limited field duty while recovering from a previous event elsewhere.

Also planned are an NPC to handle the reception and administrative type stuff (Boring things) as well as the local pain-in-the-ne... Uh, I mean Oversight Commission agent.

As for the location: As previously stated, there's going to be some manner of fancy hotel with snooty staff. Because reasons. Also included in the town will be some historical buildings with Old West-ish history, an abandoned and run-down asylum of questionable history, and perhaps a few other notable locations for ghostly activities, because there needs to be some ghosts around to bust.

The actual "Headquarters" location for the characters will be just outside of town. The characters will be starting out as new hires for the expanding location, so expect the first stuff to be training exercises. (It'll help get people on the same page with the rolls, if nothing else.)

Now with character format:

Do you feel a burning need to help humanity in some fashion? Do you have a notable deficiency in excitement in your life?
Are you finding it hard to be scared at things? Are you interested in new scenery?

Will we be using the supplements as well?

Re: Opportunity for a potentially destructive RP (Ghostbusting) (Now with Character F

EDIT THE DERP: Okay, supplement issue sussed out. The two books marked supplementary on the linked page are just pre-mades, so unnecessary. However, Ghost Toasties *does* include a one-page quick reference deal for character gen, so that could be useful for players.

Character is approved.

I'd like to see at least two more characters, but I'm not holding my breath on that. As a note, if it remains just two expressions of interest by tomorrow, I'll probably just declare this dead.

What the hell, I'll try to make a character tomorrow. Let's see what happens.
