Is the content of the books the same as the content found on this site and [Ghostbusters International®](http://www.ghostbustersinternational.com/frightrpg.htm)? 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. 🆒 ---

The books are probably part of “All Star Jams”, but only Lupo can say for sure. The covers are VERY awesome. ---

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. ---

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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/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. ---

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](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/games/ghostbusters-ii-activision)_. 🙂 ---
