@mijder, when a ghost’s ecto-presence is knocked down to zero, the ghost becomes trappable. If it’s somehow able to avoid capture or get away, its ecto-presence will slowly recharge.

If you’re dealing with a more corporeal or physical entity, then it’s at the GM’s discretion. It could be torn apart, eject a trappable “spirit”, or completely neutralize it.

As for your campaign, take a note from what @garayur said about the comic book. Perhaps the PKE from these untrapped spirits will reform as a more powerful and more malevolent spirit. Maybe a call to the NY Branch (or the Central Florida one 😎 ) will explain it to your busters. “What?! You did WHAT?! You gotta go back there and trap them! Before it’s too late! Didn’t you read the instructions?!”

Just discovered that my Ghostbusters adventures were discussed here! Here is a link to the three I’ve written and ran at various conventions over the years:

Keep in mind that these are my rough “at the table” script, so excuse any spelling errors or grammatical mistakes you may encounter. They were originally “for my eyes” only, but numerous requests for them have prompted me to post them publicly for other fans.

Anyone that took part in my blind shot attempt at a ghost master might recognize “how dry I am.” But if anyone wants to finish the story will find I’ve changed a few things.

@tankhammer Absolutely! I believe you’ll find that Chessex’s dice and these are… quite compatible.

If we carried pink slime dice as well would that be something you’d be interested in? (Question for everyone)

We’re obviously huge fans of GB2. We’d actually thought about pink dice before, but I always felt they were a little too hard to read on the table. However, if you think it’ll enhance your game experience, then I’m all for it.
