You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

Ghostbusters International Franchise

(Anonymous) 2016-05-20 02:05 pm (UTC)(link)
I've been playing with this idea for a while, since Ghostbusters hits a big nostalgia soft spot for me. Would love to have an AU game where characters can form their own Ghostbuster teams and franchises, but I want to brainstorm some other ideas to incorporate.

* All characters in New York, or allowed to form their own teams/units based on location? Might be kind of cliquey, but teams could always work together on cases, or wind up in the same location due to obligations to family members, vacations, etc.
* Team Leaders are in charge of running smaller plots for the rest of their team (but other members can volunteer to run a few). Occasionally the mod will offer plot packages containing a threat, plot details (vague or explicit depending on how much mystery/investigating is involved), and a more extreme disaster that requires the cooperation of multiple teams every couple of months or so.

Those are the two sticking points, where I can see some pros and cons, but I honestly think a Ghostbusters AU game has a lot of potential for fun and a mix of action/character development. If this game existed, what would you like to see? What wouldn't work? Also please don't let this devolve into a fight about whether the next movie will be any good. Canon characters will only be tangentially mentioned and won't be appable, though the original team may make an appearance via the mods.
