[QUOTE="Jer, post: 9299151, member: 19857"] The cartoon and the Ghostbusters RPG always felt like they were leaning into the same story ideas. Pick up the idea of running a Ghostbusters business where you go after a monster of the week every session and hijinks ensue. It's the natural way to go from the first movie's setup into an ongoing serial setup. If I were going to run a Ghostbusters game these days I'd definitely just rip off one of the cartoon episodes for a scenario :) The movies don't feel like that. The first sequel basically tried to put everyone back to where they were at the beginning of the first movie then tell a similar story and it doesn't quite work. The reboot was basically a reboot which means again telling the same story. Aftermath leaned heavily into being a nostalgia trip for people in their 40s/50s - the new one looked to me like it would be more of the same. I'm not surprised they couldn't pull that off a second time. [/QUOTE]
