Fifty Two Hooks Part 1

As promised to babalon_93, I'm going to be doing 52 items of my own for the next year.

I'll be trying to come up with a new "game idea" for a RPG every week. These can be very minor (Suitable for a single session), to medium (suitable for a multi-week campaign) to major (Suitable to build a whole world around).

I have used NONE of these before, so although some of these have been kicking around the old grey matter for ages, this is the first time I have most of them down on screen.

Hook 1: Ultimate Ghostbusters: beginnings
(Suitable for a short campaign)
Congratulations, you are the new francisee for "Ghostbusters", the wildly successful "Paranormal investigators and exterminators". Congratulations on opening up the Arkham branch.

That's right! The players get to fight loathsome ancient horrors from beyond the stars and the depths of the ocean, armed with only a sharp wit, a witty comeback and a dangerously unstable unlicensed particle accelerator strapped to their back.


This is a deliberate Call of Cthulhu / Ghostbusters crossover, emphasising humor over horror.

SYSTEMS: GURPS, CofC or even West End's Ghostbusters (If you can find it)

Hook 2: Ultimate Ghostbusters: Movin' on.
(Suitable for a short campaign)
Well Franchisee, we were sorry to hear your headquarters at Arkham slid into the ocean (along with most of the poorer end of the city) but congratulations on bouncing right back abd picking up the newly available post in beautiful Sunnydale.

That's right! The players get to vampires, werewolves, demons and psychotic teens , armed with only a sharp wit, a university professorship of dubious origin and a dangerously unstable unlicensed particle accelerator strapped to their back.


This is a deliberate Buffyverse  / Ghostbusters crossover, emphasising humor over horror.

SYSTEMS: GURPS, West End's Ghostbusters (If you can find it)
