Ghostbusters RPG

We play a weekly Ghostbusters role-playing game and our game master created these books for us…

i wish i could play someone should make a online rpg for us “aj cough cough”

It is in the works..

Is the content of the books the same as the content found on this site and Ghostbusters International®?

If it isn’t, is it new material? If they do contain new content, is the content on-line?

Either way the covers are cool. :cool:

shits pants :shock:

As far as I know.. these books are GURPS books that follow closely with the Ghostbusters Plot (but never reference it for legal reasons). The books are probably part of “All Star Jams”, but only Lupo can say for sure.

The covers are VERY awesome.

You do that a lot around here. Maybe you moved up to big boy pants a little early?

The rules are for the GURPS system (There’s a free LITE version of the rules here… http://www.sjgames.com/gurps/lite/) but bits were taken from about 4 or 5 different sources and new content was added as well. There are pictures in it from all over the web as well as some drawings that he did himself - like tech drawings of the Ecto 1, 2 and 3.

One of the guys posted a PDF version at this usenet group… alt.binaries.e-book.rpg a few weeks ago, so it should still be there. Because it has some copyrighted material in it, our GM was nervous about releasing it to the general public.

“Pull-ups” maybe? Just a thought.

That all Depends. :wink:

ha fucking ha

Out of curiosity, did you seek the permission of the guy who made that CGI Ecto-1, or Sebastien Clavet over the use of the design of Slimer from his 88MPH series? Or Eddie Lebron for what appears to be one of the ghost designs he posted on a public forum?

The books look impressive, but I’m deeply concerned about where the content was collected from and if the proper permissions were given.

A. He didn’t make them.

and B. I doubt he knows the answer to that question :stuck_out_tongue:

The books were created just for us. Except for these pictures I don’t think anyone else is going to see any more of them. He did credit the artists when he knew who they were, but a lot of the stuff was pulled from other people’s scans on the web.

He 's not distributing these or selling them so… :whatever:

I see, hmm.

Regardless though, it’s nice to see more RPG stuff. And it’s amusing, the ‘GURPS’ logo utilises the font used for the end credits of Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters II. :slight_smile:

I soooo just got yelled at here at work for laughing my ass off thanks guys!!! lol

So, much talk about poopin’ in the pants. Maybe they ought to come out with an RPG scenario where they bust a poop demon like in Dogma.

those look rally freakin sweet

Howdy boys.

AJ and I ARE working on the RPG for the GB.

We’re getting to it.

But I am interested in the books…any chance I could see more? Perhaps scans?

Note: the books shown above are a copyright violation and a violation of our trade dress.

The books themselves we’d simply ignore since they are limited to a small gaming group. I like the idea personally and think it’s wicked cool. I may have to do similar things with my groups. :slight_smile:

Distributing the PDF is a outright criminal act: a violation of copyright law and trade dress. Please don’t distribute it further. We’re in the process of finding copies posted on the Internet to have them taken down. Sadly, usenet is a bit tricky to clean up.

We’re happy to have our fans support our products with cool ideas, but we have to protect our copyrights so we can stay in business and make MORE cool stuff for our fans. Please review our online policy, which includes a short but effective education on copyrights:
