Game Premise and Setting

Over 30 Years Ago...

New York City was saved from certain destruction, twice, when Ghostbusters Spengler, Venkman, Stedmore, and Stantz blew up a giant mascot made of marshmallow. They did it again a few years later, animating the Statue of Liberty to stop a great evil from being reborn in an art museum.

Present Day

Regarded as public heroes, the Ghostbusters have officially retired from their line of work, but their legacy lives on, and profitably so, by establishing a series of national and international franchise agencies. Fledgling Ghostbusters have assembled teams of their own in different cities and locales to fight supernatural threats on their own turf, and for their own reasons. By now, most of the world has acknowledged these ghost exterminators as legitimate businesses and not just a collection of successful scam artists, but there are still some locations that may choose to remain skeptical. Ghosts still run rampant, as do demons, demigods, monsters, and many other things that go bump in the night.

Game Premise

Ghostbustin' is an AU game, with characters placed in the modern age to carry on the legacy of the Ghostbusters who came before them. Characters can form their own teams, fight ghosts solo, or just be ordinary citizens minding their own business when some stupid ghost comes along and ruins their day. This game is meant to fit a variety of tagging speeds by allowing players to choose the team best suited to their needs, and encourages story creation, proactive players, and cooperation to experience Ghostbusting in an RP format.
