Ghostbusters; A Frightfully Cheerful Roleplaying Game - very suitable for beginners

Ghostbusters Inc. Needs YOU! We're looking for a few good men, but we'll take you too! Ghostbusters is a very beginner friendly official Roleplaying Game based on a custom D6 system, in which you simply roll D6s when neccesary. But watch out for the Ghost Die! Your last die in a roll is this spooky dice, and if it comes up Ghost (i.e. a 1 in Roll 20) then even if you succeed in beating the target, your success will still become a nightmare somehow, you bumbling fool! Mainly character driven, all you need is a made up Ghostbuster with 4 easy to understand traits. You have 12 points to use in these and a maxiumum of 5 can be used in any one. Each point means 1 die can be rolled when making a check in that trait. The traits are; Brains Muscles Moves and Cools You also have 1 special talent for each trait, which lets you be great at that 1 specific thing, for example crosswords for brains. Lastly, you also have 20 brownie points, that when spent, allow you to add 1 extra die to the check for each point spent. Everything else is your own character's personality, and that's it. Anyone interested in playing tonight? (like before 4am, which is in 5 hours for me)
Yes. Tonight would be great!
Well, it needs at least 4 players. I may be playing in another game now tonight, but if you wanted to make a character for tomorrow, assuming we get enough people?
I'm in.
Again, happy to have you, tomorrow or tonight if the 4th ed game doesn't happen. Post any character stats/bios here?
I'm in too!
Sure thing. Post character bio and stats here.
Well it's a bit too late tonight to start it up, but would be happy to run it tomorrow assuming that everyone here would be interested. A minimum of 4 people are needed, but we can have more than that, so anyone interested post away. Better still, with a character bio and trait selection.
Are you using the original Ghostbusters RPG or the expanded "International" edition?
International really. But Its mainly just story driven beginners fun.
I am interested in checking out Ghostbusters. Any room left?
Sure. Post a character bio and stats here
Name: Chuck Goodwin Quick bio: Marginally out of place in the Ghostbusting industry, and clearly has other interests. It's obvious that Chuck is not in this business for the advancement of science or for those in need. No. Chuck is here for money and women. Quick-witted, yet cognitively lacking. All style and no substance. Brains 2 Talent: Parapsychology Muscle 2 Talent: Carry Moves 4 Talent: Fire Weapon Cool 4 Talent: Charm (I'm relatively certain this follows the rules. And yes, this character is largely inspired by Peter Venkman, but can you blame me?)
The bio's a little lax, but perfectly fine.
Name: Samuel Solomon Quick Bio: Ex- police. Kicked off the force after mistaking a fluttering flag for a ghost. Now he seeks employment with the ghost busters to get revenge on what he continues to argue was a dangerous  phantom. Brains 3 Deduce Muscles 3 Run Moves 4 Fire Weapon Cools 2 Convince
A-ok in my book. 2 'Busters ain't afraid of no ghost, 2 more neccesary, 6 more maximum.
Still looking for 2 more 'Busters tonight.
5 hours later, still looking for some Busters.
Have you posted a game on the virtual tabletop yet?
What, you mean the link here?
How about 3 It's me and 2 of my RL friends
In one account you mean?
what? no we each will be using our own accounts...
Oh, well post your character bios/stats then sure.
Name: Barry Waters Quick bio: Grew up in Middle America as a Mechanic before shutting down his bussiness and moving to the big city. He is a very angry antisocial person, but gifted strength and muscle coordination make him excellent in hand to hand combat... just try not to make him angry. Brains 3 Talent: Mechanical Repair Muscle 5 Talent: Wrestle Moves 3 Talent: Attract Attention Cool 1 Talent: BrowBeat
A-ok by me. But it's not half 4am in GMT, so we'll probably have to do this tomorrow or some other time, sorry.
Name: Joey "Pizon" Petrullo Quick bio: Joey Petrullo, born and raised in Brooklyn, was the first of four in a middle class Italian family. He grew up working for his father and was the cashier for his shop on 86th street. Met many people, learned many tongues, and knows how to seal any deal, on the clock or off.   Brains 3 Talent: Linguistics Muscle 1 Talent: Jump Moves 3 Talent: Sleight of Hand Cool 5 Talent: Charm
There's 4 the minumum amount of people. I could handle another 4 at most. Anyway, post what times you'd like to do this campaign. I'm on GMT and typically work til 6pm anyway. I'm off tomorrow for St Paddy's Day though. But for now, off to bed. Night all.
Name: Kasper Carr Bio: A young man born in Chicago to an immigrant family learned a very bad habit from his grandmother one halloween. When he was 7 his grandmother was to accompany him on his first Trick or Treat. Now, he had begged her to go to the local grocery store where they would hand out candy to all the kids in the neighborhood. When they got there however, it was jam packed with kids. Seeing this, his grandmother took his hand and led him to the candy isle. She started cramming her purse full of candy, when it was full she started putting it in his trick or treat bag. And from that moment on he was; in his words infected. Once he had grown up he was making a living pulling off jobs. In an attempt to try and get his life back on track after a close run in with the police he decided to join the ghost busters. Brains 3 deduce moves 3 pick pocket cool 4 fast talk mucles 2 run
