Afternoon [3:30-8pm] Dread - Who You Gonna Call? (TWO SLOTS OPEN!)



New York City, October 20, 1990

Peter, Ray, Egon, Winston and their new recruits continue to battle the paranormal 6 years after their nearly fatal encounter with Gozer the Gozerian. Business has been steady and lucrative. But lately, members of the team have been experiencing stranger nightmares than usual and the amount of paranormal activity is increasing in the city. What could all this mean?

So... who you gonna call?


The system: Dread uses a Jenga tower as the conflict resolution mechanic. You pull and place a number of blocks based on the host's interpretation of your character's skills that are determined by providing 10 answers on a questionnaire about your character. A pull that fells the tower also fells your character!

Be prepared for some comedy/horror action along with a mix of investigation and a requisite heavy dose of the paranormal. Bust out and watch your Ghostbusters DVD in the coming weeks to prep for this game!

The Characters

Peter Venkman
Ray Stantz
Egon Spengler
Winston Zeddemore
Dana Barrett
Slimer


The Players
  • Slot 1: Cassander - Peter Venkman
  • Slot 2: MP - Dana Barrett
  • Slot 3: YourSwordIsMine - Winston Zeddemore
  • Slot 4: QuinnHarlech - Slimer
  • Slot 5: OPEN - Ray Stantz
  • Slot 6: OPEN - Egon Spengler
  • Alt 1: TheWyrd
  • Alt 2: OPEN
Quick note: If you sign up to play, please feel free to post a character preference. This in no way guarantees that you will get that character, however.

My presumption is that this is the same game you ran at the last LIGD?

Yup. Y'all were awesome "playtesters'.

I *could* run another scenario but I dunno how that one could be topped.

Could you sign me up?

As for character preference, I think I'd like to give Slimer a shot.

All in! Any more preferences for characters? I'd like to hold off on actually assigning characters for a bit until all players are signed up.

Dammit. Now I'm all guilty. And dead on the inside.
