@rjlikins Happy to answer any questions! The nerdier the better!

1. When I told Wall he couldn’t see the PKE through stone, I’m assuming it’s because they were underground looking for werewolves. The way I figure it, the more physical mass between you and the source of PKE, the harder it is to see. PLUS it depends on how intense the PKE is, what class the ghost/creature is, AND how well the player rolls. Lots of variables. In my mind, werewolves are powerful corporeal beings who don’t “emit” a lot of PKE. Tracking them in a patch of woods would be easier than tracking them through all the dirt, steel, and concrete in an underground sewer system. The UCF Knight statues were highly charged non-corporeal entities who were flying through the sky past modern buildings (many with windows). At least, that’s how I reasoned it at the time. But no. I have no “can’t see through X” rule when it comes to the goggles. The basic function is night vision, and it can track visible or invisible PKE signals through objects depending on thickness and the strength of the PKE being emitted.

2A. After his transfusion, yes. Billy is the only positively charged werewolf.

2B. Your head cannon explanation is pretty damn close! Yes, the difference is that the punks were shot with darts first to completely subdue them, THEN after transforming back to human form, they received a “slime transfusion” to counteract the negative PKE in their body. Once the PKE was “filtered out,” they immedietly received a complete transfusion of human blood. After all, no normal doctor would pump a person full of slime and just leave them there. So they’re technically cured. 100% human now. Billy however was their first attempt. He only got a partial transfusion with positive slime. So while the PKE in his system has diminished, it’s now under the influence of the positive slime still in his bloodstream. Thankfully, it’s not psychomagnotheric slime, so it won’t be affected by his mood, or the mood of people around him.

3. As far as I’m concerned, the epilogues are 100% canonical. So far, at least. I look at them as a kind of “treat” for me to reveal what other famous ghosts also exist in their universe. The moment they figure it out… man. Their faces are priceless.

But heck, if you want to play in the GBR universe and use The Ghost With The Most, you could just say he’s escaped because Briggs screwed up somehow. Or just say that he’s a rare exception of a ghost who can escape the containment unit if someone says his name three times. Normally, he’s there to coax you into saying it for him. But if he’s in the containment grid, someone would have to read his name somewhere else on their own. Or see it written once, then accidentally say it three times. Or even by reading about something completely different, and pronouncing it wrong.

Or do your own thing altogether! Screw the GBR canon! All that matters is if your players feel like Big Damn Heroes and have ALL the fun.

And you have a few more questions? Fire away!

It’s good to hear from a local!

I would welcome someone with experience into a group, I’ve never GM’d anything other than a 1-shot D&D module, So I could use the help.

I also have no idea how to find people. I need a kick in the pants to get anything off the ground, so if you or anyone in the area want to work together on setting something up, feel free to PM me. I have lots of vague, undefined ideas on ways to totally tear up this historic city.
