It's (semi) official now! I have decided to use “D20 Modern” to advocate the Ghostbusters RPG for the D20 generation. I have decided on the following things for GBD20.

Classes: All of the classes available will come straight from the D20 modern book. The base classes will be as follows:

~“Strong Ghostbuster”–A ghostbuster that has superior body strength as his greatest asset.

~“Tough Ghostbuster”–This ghostbuster can take a lickin' and keep on tickin'! They never seem to get tired, and can withstand a ghostly beating.

~“Fast Ghostbuster”–This GB is lithe and nimble. He/she can run fast, or is acrobatic, or what have you.

~“Smart Ghostbuster” –Like the legendary Dr. Spengler, this GB is gifted in the academic dept. From languages, to science, to stock broking….this GB knows it all!

~“Dedicated ghostbuster”–these GBs are empathic, brave, and caring for their fellow man. They have keen senses, and good common sense.

~“Charismatic Ghostbuster”–The epitome of all the Peter Venkman worshippers out there. This GB uses his wit, charm, and ability to fast talk to get by.


You can only choose ONE of these classes at LV 1, but as you progress, you can pick up skills and traits from the various other classes at later levels. To give you a good idea what you might want to be, I'll give you a list of what (accurately) all of the OGB's would be in RPG terms…
All GB's listed are what they would have been at Lv1.
———————————
PETER VENKMAN
Lv.1 Charismatic Ghostbuster
Starting Profession (Academic)
High stats: Charisma, Intelligence

EGON SPENGLER
Lv.1 Smart Ghostbuster
Starting Profession (Academic)

RAY STANTZ
Lv.1 Dedicated Ghostbuster
Starting Profession (Academic)

————————————–
Just for clarity (Stat list)
**Strength: Raw physical strength

**Constitution: Your health and bodily toughness

**Dexterity: Speed, coordination, etc.

**Intelligence: You need to know? Think of it as pure IQ.

**Wisdom: Not the same as Intelligence. Wisdom is insight, common sense, perception, and such.

**Charisma: Charm, sex-appeal, personal magnetism, and self-confidence.

Advanced Classes

Beyond the 6 basic classes, there are some GBs that stand out….they are those talented few with unique skills (i.e.: Vincent's ability to use magic, Egon's uncanny ability for invention, Peter's celebrity status…etc.)

These classes have special requirements to take, but the abilities are WELL worth it!

EXAMPLES: (there are many more)
~Occultist (magic-user)
~Martial artist
~Techie (inventor)
~Medic
~Personality (celebrity)

BAD NEWS: I have ruled that “Ghostbuster” will NOT be an advanced class. It doesn't make sense.

GOOD NEWS: This will be compensated in that ALL of the classes for Player Characters will have additional “Talent Trees” (explained in the book) related to the Ghostbusting profession. Hurrah!
—————————————
Rules regarding Ghostbusting and such will be posted by myself and GBVA (when I can get ahold of him) on our GB RPG website.

————————————–
For all who want to get ahold of the book, it costs around $40 U.S., and can be ordered at www.wizards.com , or you can pick it up at a local hobby shop.

Sorry, By law, I cannot copy the rules and post them on a website unless I want a huge lawsuit. The WEST END rules are going up only because the company went under.

$40 may sound big…but look at it this way….it's Hardbound, and 384 pages long…..and the book is QUALITY product. The artwork is wonderful, and the content is awesome. I highly recomend this product. The GB material is not in there, but that's why I'm making (unofficial house rules) “plug-ins” available for everyone free of charge so you can get right into busting!



Keep busting!

YES! nuff said! Vince, as with the original parts of the site are looking and feeling of the original RPG, your artwork (colored) and photos will be used in a D20 section! Also i am registering http://www.gbrpg.tk and http://www.gbd20.tk Keep it up.

UPDATE:

I am implementing a system of “edges” and “flaws” to make the game more interesting. I am playtesting it to see if my work bears fruit.

Also, if you wish you may see what a finished character sheet might look like. I am changing my profile to be a GBD20 character sheet, and will be implemented by @50am EST on the 13th.

Hey, that's cool Vince! I play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons, so your idea should be easy for me to play. Good luck. :d

Hey guys. Someone referred me to this string. I have rules all made up of a d20 version I made. Really all that is missing are monsters. (I have two, a Class One Free Repeater, and Viggo the Carpathian; and am working on Gozer the Gozerian.) I could probably use some more weapons or gadgets. I'll post them up on a website. Look for it in a few days.
