Spooktacular: A Cheerfully Spooky Role-Playing Game
Who're you going to ask for a quote through their website? Wraithzappers!" Spooktacular is an updated retroclone of a forgotten gem of 1980s RPG design¸ letting your play out the hilarious adventures of paranormal investigators who use dodgy science¸ possibly dangerous bleeding-edge paratechnology¸ and sheer chutzpah to capture ghosts and make a living. In addition to all the rules you need to play this new take on an elegantly simple hidden classic of RPG design¸ this book includes: Archetypes that give each character a nifty special ability¸ and optional Weird Archetypes so you can have an esper¸ witch¸ or other weirdo join the team. A selection of wacky ghost-hunting gear. In addition to the basic etheric ray throwers and such¸ there are things like the Ghost Punchers (special gauntlets that do in fact let you punch ghosts) and Etheric Grenades (special grenades that blow ghosts up). Three sample ghost-hunting companies (Wraithzappers¸ Ghost Rooter¸ and Phantom Finders) in various states of funding and legitimacy¸ as well as simple guidelines for making up your own company. Short guides to ghost-hunting in the cities of Albuquerque¸ London¸ Orlando¸ Philadelphia¸ San Francisco¸ and Washington D.C. Sample story ideas and a story generator table. A selection of premade ghosts¸ ranging from the nagging Ancestor to the absurdly dangerous Ghostzilla. To play you'll need some pencils and paper¸ a bunch of six-sided dice (with at least one in a different color to be the Spooky Die)¸ a few friends¸ and a few hours to play. Green novelty beverages are recommended but not required¸ especially since they haven't made them in a while now.
