Actual Play: Ghostbusters - Spook Central

So ladies and gentlemen, I know I talk a lot about GMing and my experiences in doing so, however I've never actually given examples of it, so without further ado on my blog, I'm going to be putting up recordings for games that I've run, including the premise and the players (or at least the ones I can remember). This first one is a game I ran about 3 months ago, a one shot for a con called Go Play. I ran it using the New World of Darkness system, and it was a straight up sequel to the movie Ghostbusters. A bit of a warning, the audio quality isn't incredible, but you should be able to make it out. These files work mostly on iTunes.

Ghostbusters - Spook Central

Featuring:

Martin Brown (That's me) - as the GM
Jack Pressley - as the Rich Kid, the heir to the stay puft marshmallow empire.
Samantha Travis - as the True Believer, ghost sympathizer extraordinaire.
Ben Johnson - as the Thrill Seeker, the promoted fanboy of the Ghostbusters that gets a chance to live his dreams.
Brendan Garett - as the Skeptic, a determined scientist who wants to take down the Ghostbusters from within.


 The Scenario

It's 2014, 13 years since the last ghostly activity on record. The Ghostbusters' proton packs and their vehicle, Ecto-1, has been consigned to dusty warehouses; weapons from a war long won.

Egon Spengler, now age 70, is still runing the Spengler Paranormal Investigation Society, which after years of work and lobbying, has brought the paranormal to public knowledge. As far as he’s concerned, his Ghostbusting days are long behind him.

Without warning, however, PKE readings spike and ghostly activity is reported around the city. It feels like the city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions. You know Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff: fire and brimstone coming down from the sky, rivers and seas boiling, forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, the dead rising from the grave, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!

The people are clamouring for the Ghostbusters to reform and save them. But will your team of rookies be prepared to step into their shoes and save the city?

Who ya gonna call?
