Game Stats: The New Ghostbusters

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:

1. 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.
2. Erin’s Goal of Professional Validation isn’t one in the game.
3. Patty’s Goal of Friendship also isn’t one in the game.

Are there any changes you'd make to these stats?
