HELP WANTED!!!
I’m getting ready to run a Ghostbusters tabletop RPG and I’m kinda stumped on the story! I’ve let my players choose a lot of their setting so they’ve settled on a small town (not a irl place) in the Appalachian Mountains in West Virginia. They’ve decided on a Decommissioned Cold War Era Radio Station as their headquarters and the story takes place somewhere in the later 2000’s.
For reference, most of my players are not American. I am. They don’t really know about Appalachia and have given me the go ahead to make it as scary as I’d like. I like scary.
That all being said, I’m not 100% sure what I’d like to do. I have 6-7 potential players (we’re waiting on a few confirmations), most of them aren’t very familiar with the Ghostbusters franchise besides the cultural zeitgeist and/or watching the movie as a kid, and we have somewhat conflicting schedules. Keeping all of that in mind, I want to keep this simple and more small scale. No World Enders. I’d like to capture the feel of those creepy Appalachia story videos and have a somewhat monster of the week type session, but also have it build up to some sort of “Big Bad” at the end of the campaign/potential season 1.
If any of you lovely people have any ideas, suggestions, or questions please leave a comment! Your feedback would be most appreciated! Regardless whether you respond or not, I hope you have an amazing day or night and good luck on all your paranormal investigations and eliminations!
