In case you missed the thread in the Classified section, we're currently working on a full fledged 750 page leather bound replica of Tobin's Spirit Guide. The idea is to fill it with as much information as possible fitting the original concept of the book and whatever remains to fill up the volume will be garnished from a 1905 book about superstitions and the occult.
So, we're reaching out to anyone in the RPF GB-fan community who would like to contribute articles and/or artwork to this project.
This post shows a list of articles we have so far: Interest - Tobin's Spirit Guide by Magnoli Props!
To get ideas of other articles that could be written, have a look at this older project by Michael Bergeron (who has given us his blessing on our new endeavor): Tobin's Spirit Guide! (RESEARCH SIGN-UP POST 364!)
You can garnish some great in-universe information from the Ghostbusters Wiki here: Ghostbusters Wiki
Other, non-GB specific entries can be researched on-line using wikipedia and other sources. Just make sure that all articles are period accurate for no later than 1920. So any references to something from 1920 onward needs to be removed, reworded, etc (especially be careful with country names, etc, which have changed since then). Feel free to throw in Easter eggs for fun and if you have any suggestions for other articles not listed above, feel free to PM me to discuss. Almost anything will be considered. We'd love to have a lot franchise cross-over references for fun: Evil Dead, Beetlejuice, Supernatural, H.P. Lovecraft, etc...
If you would like to contribute, please send me a PM or e-mail so I can note down what you're working on and update the post above accordingly so there is no doubling-up of work.
Getting the community to help will speed this project up and will also help to keep the cost down. The main cost of this was going to be in all the research, writing, editing and formatting I would have to do... but if we can spread this work out, the price will end up being based on just the cost of the book itself, which should be much lower than originally anticipated.
So, get over to that other thread and browse through... there are a bunch of great teaser mock-ups there to whet your appetite! Thanks and
Kind regards,
Indy
