This is post number 19 in the series “31 Days of Ghostbusters,” a celebration of the franchise’s return to the big screen.
I’ve been itching to do this since before the movie came out, and now that I’ve seen it, I can! Here’s my take on how the team from Ghostbusters (2016) would be represented in the Ghostbusters RPG.
Erin Gilbert, Ph.D
| Brains | 5 | Physics | 8 |
| Muscles | 2 | Endure Slime | 5 |
| Moves | 3 | Dance | 6 |
| Cool | 2 | Practice Lecture | 5 |
Goal: Professional Validation
Abigail Yates, Ph.D
| Brains | 5 | Parapsychology | 8 |
| Muscles | 3 | Hold On | 6 |
| Moves | 2 | Swing Proton Glove | 5 |
| Cool | 2 | Convince | 5 |
Goal: Serving Humanity
Jillian Holtzmann
| Brains | 6 | Mad Scientist | 9 |
| Muscles | 2 | Haul Heavy Tech | 5 |
| Moves | 2 | Dual Wield Proton Sidearms | 5 |
| Cool | 2 | Disconcert | 5 |
Goal: Soulless Science
Patricia Tolan
| Brains | 3 | History of New York | 6 |
| Muscles | 4 | Exorcise | 7 |
| Moves | 2 | Run | 5 |
| Cool | 3 | Pretend This Isn’t Happening | 6 |
Goal: Friendship
Kevin Beckman
| Brains | 1 | Remember Own Name | 4 |
| Muscles | 4 | Fill Out T-Shirt | 7 |
| Moves | 3 | Ride Motorcycle | 6 |
| Cool | 4 | Pose For Photograph | 7 |
Goal: Fame
Notes:
- I had trouble deciding on Erin and Abby’s Brains Talents, because both are particle physicists yet both are also experts at parapsychology. So I assigned the two skills to the two women semi-randomly.
- Erin’s Goal of Professional Validation isn’t one in the game.
- Patty’s Goal of Friendship also isn’t one in the game.
Are there any changes you’d make to these stats?
