Tim this looks like a lot of fun. Do you use the first edition Ghostbusters or second? How would you compare editions? I remember playing 1e as a young lad, I think it was my second RPG after Mentzer box set D&D.
I'm a big fan of the original GB edition. Not a big fan of GBI (second edition), as they needlessly made the d6 system more complicated by adding a lot (LOT) of "crunch" to a system that needs to play fast and loose for maximum hilarity.
The Savage AfterWorld presents rules, adventures, supplements, and discussion for post-apocalyptic RPGs, focusing on Goodman Games' Mutant Crawl Classics and other systems.
