Hey guys! I've been wanting to work on this project for quite some time, and have finally started. It's... Tobin's Spirit Guide!
My end goal is to create a hand bound, hardback book. I've been collecting pictures of different depictions of the Guide:
The first is the "original" Guide created for the Ghostbusters Role Playing Game, the second are images from the video game, and the last three are the most recurring versions from the cartoon (when Egon wasn't pulling out his "pocket" guide or electronic version.) I'm kind of partial to the cartoon version, as it seems like the most "official" looking, and also the easiest to recreate.
I've been working on refurbishing the scanned pages of the "original" Tobin's that was published for use with the Ghostbusters RPG. (Re-typing, re-formatting, getting the illustrations nice and clean, getting rid of that awful "torn edge" border they used.)
But, there's only about 80 pages of material from that book. I'd like to make mine 8 1/4 x 10 1/2, and 80 pages in that size seems far too skinny. I want a big, beefy tome, and from the looks of the cartoon version, that'd be anywhere from 150-200 pieces of paper, which would equal 300-400 pages front and back.
So, feedback? What could I use for extra written material? Which version of the Guide do you think looks best? Would anyone be interested in their own copy if this project gets made?
Anyone out there want to help contribute to the material? Perhaps an "ultimate" version of the guide, with a listing of all the ghosts and entities that the Ghostbusters encountered in the movies and cartoon?
We're ready to believe you!
