Well, not to much on how to run it. It's written like people assume what a RPG is. Some people don't know what D6, D12 is (I what it stands for so don't bother explaining lol). You're lucky you got that far into writing the rules. Ever time I try to do when, I never get very far lol.

BTW, you do know there was a Ghostbusters RPG in the 80s right? I've personally never played an RPG before, but I do KNOW how the game goes.

Anyway, you should consider finshing it. It's pretty good so far, but some of the sentences don't make sense lol. And write more adventures lol! (*peter)

Well for levels, there is not much information about how to gain a next level. EXP, how would you gain that. I assume the Ghostmaster explains it. You'll need to add information on how to run a game, and section specifially for the Ghostmaster.

Also, you don't use any periods in the sentences. Like this

Block: this is the chance that you will block and attack the number is usually that you will have to roll a certain

You don't use any periods, so the sentence doesn't make too much sense. You also don't tell how you can get equipment. Do you start the game with equipment, or do you have to buy it? In the orginal GB RPG, you just choose your equipment cards.

Ghost arena- the ghost arena is a dangerous place you must be experienced to go here, it is mostly a place to level up for high levels. Cost $100,000 for 10 battles, deduct cost if person does not stay for all 10.basicly the Gm will roll the d20 ( to see how many ghost there will be) then a d6 whatever it land on the GM chooses any ghost’s of that class that he would like you to battle (must be amount rolled) then you battle , GOOD LUCK! (No lower than class 6 ghost )

What's the point of this? It doesn't really tell what's it purpose for in the game is.

Oh, the character stats in the website is gone BTW. But a question brings up in the stats to, for example;

Peter: smart d6 –1, Strength d10, Block d12 +2, Hp: roll d20 +1 to decide base Hp

d6 -1. I think you have to roll a six sided dice, but -1 whats that mean? BTW, I've typed up a few things for the first edtion Ghostbusters role-playing game. You can that as reference on how to write up the rules. Cause so far, it's kind of limited. If you can create your own character, that'd be good to.

Need some help?

It's also doesn't explain anything about how you “Do things” with the stats. Plus there is a rather big problem with the block system. Some of the blocks say you have to roll a 14, but the dice you have assigned to the characters doesn't go more than 12. Plus, the damaging going off to antoher player is kind of stupid.

Also, you don't use any periods in the sentences. Like this

Block: this is the chance that you will block and attack the number is usually that you will have to roll a certain i wrote this awhile again, back when i would type with NO puncuation lol

You don't use any periods, so the sentence doesn't make too much sense. You also don't tell how you can get equipment. Do you start the game with equipment, or do you have to buy it? In the orginal GB RPG, you just choose your equipment cards. ill work on specifying things, i originally wrote this just for me, i never intended for others to play so i didnt see a point in specifying much.

What's the point of this? It doesn't really tell what's it purpose for in the game is. allows you to level up without starting missions.

Oh, the character stats in the website is gone BTW. But a question brings up in the stats to, for example; Moved that to the ghostmaster part since only the GM should see the characters stats before they choose.

Peter: smart d6 –1, Strength d10, Block d12 +2, Hp: roll d20 +1 to decide base Hp

d6 -1. I think you have to roll a six sided dice, but -1 whats that mean? BTW, I've typed up a few things for the first edtion Ghostbusters role-playing game. You can that as reference on how to write up the rules. Cause so far, it's kind of limited. If you can create your own character, that'd be good to. d6 minus 1 means that when u choose that character u roll d6, say u land on 5 you take away 1, now your base stregth is 4 see?

Need some help?

ill try and make it better lol, and ya can i see that gb rpg thing? and about 14 with block, you use d20 when trying to block.

Changed Block to a skill and made armor a stat instead.

Getting better so far. (*peter) It clears up some things, and I thought the take - and + things were like bonuses.

I'm sending you the RPG stuff through e-mail. It should help you on rules written (not to be offensive, cause it's understandable so far).

You're getting a real copy through right?

yes in a few days probly. also since i wrote this so long ago i kinda forgot what some of it means to lol i was wrong about the + stuff. When you attack you roll the dice to decide how much damage you do and then add the + or - to that dmg, so when i attack i roll the dice and then add or minus.

You might wanna add more info on making adventures. It was kind of hard understanding it (either that or I'm just dumb right now). In the adventure books (I've got one BTW) they put the stats of the ghost in it. This makes it alot easier, so you don't have to look over the rule book to see what it's stats are.

I sent the stuff btw.
