Not only has the ghost problem come back, yet again, but it's ceased to respect state lines! Active, and even aggressive hauntings have begun popping up all over the U.S.! It's gotten so bad, the Ghostbusters have been given federal jurisdiction and tasked with training new Ghostbusters(and convinced to share their proprietary hardware)!
Not everyone is on board with elevating these "kooky conmen" to the status of civil servants, but when trouble comes floating right through their wall, nobody's wondering just who to call!
I would be running the setting in Western Washington, because I like putting stories here around the place where I live. I'd be helpfully providing a list of roles within the group, and here's an example list based on the originals:
The Brain (like Egon Spengler)
The Personality (Peter Venkman)
The Believer (Ray Stantz)
The Normie (Winston Zedmoore)
I know I spelled at least one of those names wrong, this is just the interest post and I'll look it up when I make an OOC(aka I've learned not to waste effort until I actually need to). The point right now is to illustrate the expected archetypes within a Ghostbusters story. Other archetypes outside of that list are cool with me, but only once we've filled the "principle cast".
I don't really like players having multiple characters, because I don't need players fighting over the spotlight(among other opinions that are less valid). So, to start, players will only get one character, with the possibility of expanding the character limit as the adventures (and misadventures) progress.
Humor is a must, but I also want to explore a more horror focused angle, because, well, I like horror.
Come prepared to keep the flow, please, I don't care if players post a novel, or just a handful of sentences, just keep active.
Any takers? Any questions?
