Ghostbusters Genesys Setting

This one was a labor of love. I grew up adoring Ghostbusters. But I never really could get into The Real Ghostbusters. So as far as I’m concerned the only canon is the movies (including the 2016 reboot) and the video game.

When Genesys from Fantasy Flight Games came out I fell in love with the framework to make my own games using systems that I was already familiar with ever since Edge of the Empire. Their narrative dice system is second to none and best yet it’s easy to make your imaginings concrete.

I originally made this not intending on releasing it to the general public. It was just for me. After that I permitted myself to think “ok, ok. Fine maybe I’ll play with my online group”. And shortly afterwards (and after some positive feedback) I decided to release it. It’s not 100% done. It’s not even done enough for me to be comfortable with releasing it. So I release it with a caveat! This is a work in progress! I plan on adding a lot to it before I’ll be happy with it. And obviously no attempt was made to make it look pretty yet. All red text and places where it makes sense or lacks an adequate description is to be changed. I hope you enjoy and let me know what you think!
