This game is absolutely a role-playing game! Rules lawyers need not apply. Ecto 1 gets blown up with everyone inside? 3 brownie points each and a day in hospital. But it's up to the Ghost master to describe the scene. Your character fails to jump across a gap between two buildings? The better your description of WHY you didn't die means fewer brownie points lost. Everything is seat-of-your-pants activity. I love it.
for those of you who want to play but dont want to buy a physical copy, there are scanned pdfs of all the paper components of the game online, just look for Ghostbusters International; it has all the reference files, equipment cards, GM sheet and even some of the adventures that you can play
3:25 "If you have a muscle skill of 3, you roll 3 dice" *proceeds to roll four dice* That kind of skullduggery would not sit well with me at the gaming table kind sir!
Fantastic, loved the comedy you put in with yourselves. I admit I've never had an interest in role-playing games as I lack the patience. A ghostbusters game i could get into but as you know the first time we attempted this game we were in a hotel after a night out and were too drunk to care lol. As always, great review.
hah! We know the amount we'd drank before starting the game was the issue, we were all steaming :D But I think with the right people, we'd have a proper laugh with this game
12:30 Expensive? I'd say £77 is pretty cheap considering that particular copy is 1986100% complete. That's a lot of completeness! In all seriousness, awesome video. I really enjoyed this one!
I seriously got lucky with my copy, i was gifted it from a friend of friend who knew i loved Ghostbusters, she didn't have the patience for the game so...yeah, I lucked out :D
@@downfromtheattic I've yet to buy a copy because I'm a noob when it comes to RPG games but now I want one just to read through the books and look at the art. There's actually a podcast dedicated to playing this game and the guys over there put together some custom stuff for the game that you can print off for free on their website in case you're interested: nerdyshow.com/gbrpg/
This is a awesome channel and video .... great job luke.... Got a question: with all the screwball scramble games out there -which one is the most complex and hardest one to complete ... ? Awesome Ghostbusters game by the way
@@helsdon71 the trickiest I’ve come across by far is the perplexus revolution runner, so many opportunities to mess up and have to start all over again with that game 😂

I’m jealous you got the gm screen. I had the core rules, some modules and the Tobins spirit guide.
Great rpg game and excellent review. 👍
Great Review!

I have to wonder why the first three episodes didn't show up in my subscription box.
Oh well, more backlog to binge I guess.

I knew someone would pick up on that, yep I recorded the dialogue before recording the episode and messed that up :D

Holy cow this game's expansive!! I was about to say that Bernardo and I could buy copies and all play together online some time but DANG! LOL
you can actually find all the books, files, and cards scanned in online for free, you'd just need to print em off :)
8:48 The American accent though
Hahah that was hilarious! Is that a onesie? 😂😂
Haha yep, had it a few years now 😂
