Ghostbusters RPG - free to download

Post by IceBear »

I never got a chance to play the WEG Ghostbusters RPG in the 80s (heck I have only seen a picture of it recently) but the entire product line is free to download here:

Removed link as not sure if it's legal

I don't think this is a pirated site, but if it is I apologize and will remove

Yeah, it looks like (from reading through the comments) that this guy just got his hands on scans of the materials and posted them. Looks like it's just a very well done fan site.

Too bad. The WEG Ghostbusters RPG is a heck of a lot of fun. Ran a game set in the Field Museum of Natural History once. That place is spooky enough on its own without adding in ghosts.

Yeah I am not sure if I should remove that link or not. It seems like a very dedicated fan site and get the feeling that he is trying to be as above board as possible, but don't actually see a statement where he got permission from WEG

Edit: I asked if he had permission but until I hear back I will remove the link

is this the same thing as the Ghostbusters International RPG? i just retrieved the box from my parents' house earlier this year. it's still bound in twine, which went on about 1991 and has since never been removed

I believe so (though I think the pdfs were of the 1986 edition which was just called Ghostbusters RPG; it was the 1989 edition that was called International)
