Happy Belated Ghostbusters Day!

I missed it by approximately two hours, so it's too late for me to write anything significant about Ghostbusters Day at the moment, but I can direct you to an article in Barking Alien where this holiday was not forgotten: "Coming to Save the World This Summer".

I Have a D6 Feeling About This

Read "Retrospective: Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game", a retrospective on Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game in Grognardia.

Seriously, though, it's a good summary of the game's impact on gaming in general and the Star Wars universe itself.

The D6 System and the Duel

If you need alternate dueling rules for your adventures with The D6 System, read Peter Schweighofer's Dueling Blades (also found on his D6 Resources page at Griffon Publishing Studio).

An Insider's History of the D6 System

Fans of The D6 System may find it informative to read "An Unofficial History of the D6 System" by Peter Schweighofer.

Balancing a Budget Makes Me Feel Good

"Sure Beats Working for a Living" in Barking Alien raises some points on monetary motivations for player characters and mentions a new way to track the resources of a Ghostbusters franchise, which may be of interest to those who play the Ghostbusters role-playing game.

Inspecting Other Methods of Busting Ghosts

Read "Paranormal Activity", an interesting alternative method of running Ghostbusters in Barking Alien.

Some Simple Six-Sider Systems

Two role-playing games of the d6 persuasion were recently made available and both are well worth examining. Behold!

Claytonian of Kill It With Fire! introduces us to "2d6 Everything", which boasts the But Actually System (a system I am strongly tempted to try in other games, too).

Jonathan Hicks of Farsight Blogger presents "What's Up, Dudes? The Simple Sci-Fi Comedy Show RPG" with Jokes ("actual comedy not guaranteed").

Garrett Goes Ghostbusting

Keith Garrett of The Adventures of Keith Garrett has completed his "31 Days of Ghostbusters" (also known as July). An homage to Ghostbusters in its various incarnations (including the Ghostbusters role-playing game), it's well worth investigating.
