Who you gonna call? [Ghostbusters: A Frightfully Cheerful Roleplaying Game]

@Dark Cloud Sure thing! Do you want me to fill out a card like Jerk's CS or do you want me to tell ya what you need to do and make a more traditional CS like Duth's?

Alrighty, we're good to go! Leaving it a bit open in the beginning to flesh out how much you two know eachother off the bat, once the Agent shows up he'll show you guys around the building and two others and you can pick which one you guys like the best.

Ghostbusting was setup to be the next wave of public service, with the world's history of spectres and spirits one would think a way of dealing with the nastier ones would be wholeheartedly embraced. To some extent it was but only when something really bad was on the horizon. After their boom in popularity following the defeat of Vigo the Carpathian, the Ghostbusters got calls from all across the country at a volume they couldn't keep up with. The ever business savvy group decided to licence their brand and tech to expand their service all across America. The 90s turned out to be the golden age for the Ghostbusters.

Today the Ghostbusters brand is more or less forgotten, a fad of the last century. Turns out the business flew too close to the sun and the volume and severity of jobs began to decline, leading to many franchises closing their doors. The business is in a state of limbo right now; not growing at all but also not losing enough money to shut down. Every once in a while there'll be a spike in 'paranormal' activity in an area, leading to a group buying into the franchise, setting up and almost immediately going out of business due to a lack of consistent work.

This is a story of one such group of would-be Ghostbuster franchisees, unknowingly stumbling into something bigger than a get rich-quick scheme.

---

It had been about 45 minutes since the real estate agent said he would show up so now Go-za and Dave had to mull around the first property, a three story building that was once used as a pub/residency. With the free time they now found themselves with, the duo could get to know one another a bit better or maybe surf the web (assuming they had a phone capable of doing so) for a ride for their budding business venture. There was also the small formality of actually signing the franchise agreement that they had brought along.

@Duthguy Not great truth be told, been trying to set up retaking a course and doing some new ones, sorry for the radio silence. I'll get this show on the road finally on the 26th, after Christmas.

@Jerkchicken Do you have a name for your character yet? Even if you're not all finished the sheet quite yet a name and a bit of the backstory'll help me whip up an opening post.

@Jerkchicken Sounds good! I'm ok with us taking a bit to get started here. I have exams this weeks so not jumping into the deep just yet works for me.

@Duthguy Looks good! Go ahead and post David to the character tab!

Alrighty, in that case I think we’re good to go once character sheets are posted and approved! I’ll edit the intro post later tonight and also a fair warning, I have exams next week so I might be a little slow to begin with but after next week things should pick up a bit.

@Jerkchicken
That's about what I was thinking for thrills as well. I don't think you guys will be fighting many hordes of ghosts and I'm not married to you getting some brownie points for every named ghost but if things look a little grim or the ghost seems like it really means business then I think I'll throw a point your way. Does that sound kosher?

@Duthguy @Jerkchicken
Alrighty, for time and setting then I'm thinking modern day-ish in Atlantic City. It would be a good fit for the first module and assuming you guys are still jazzed after that I can try to whip something together for the pine barrens or continue some plot hooks from the fist module.

One last question to shoot y'alls way; do you guys want to RP the establishing the franchise (going around to a few locations with a realtor, buying your Ecto-1 equivalent, etc) or do you want just hash that out OOC before hand and jump straight into the meat or it?
