Hey everyone. I've been meaning to post in this thread for oh, a little over 3 years. Some on RPF know me as a BTTF fan, which I am. Others here who are also on or run GB sites know me as Spengs, the "Director of Franchise Operations" for Ghostbusters International. I also run "there/" well my The real Ghostbusters web site, Ectocontainment.com.
As the webmaster for GBI over the last 10 years I finally completed updating the "paperwork" that's been on and off the site for years.
Most of the paperwork came from the original West End Games RPG. With a slight exception most of it was updated/recreated by me.
I wrote a blog update this afternoon about it all. I've been wanting to share it here too. All files are 200 res.
Franchise Application
I created this one, believe it or not this wasn't on the site going back to 2003.
Dr. Venkman Welcome Letter
Dr. Venkman welcomes new franchise with his "personal" letterhead. Truthfully if I ever decide to recreate it, I wouldn't just use the standard corporate "form."
Louis Tully Franchise Welcome Letter
This wasn't originally on the site. As a real personal touch I use to email new franchises with a letter on a GBI letterhead from myself or maybe Louis. Louis' letter comes from the original RPG. I even used his "signature" when updating the letter for the 21 Century.
GBI Franchisee Contract
The original from the RPG is 2 pages. I retyped it letter by letter, making slight changes to update it for the 21 Century. Really, it isn't much of a joke to watch PBS television these days and why would anyone "have" to light a candle at the end of each day? Also, it wouldn't necessarily be that exciting that GBi would offer a maintenance package.
Here is the first contract "page." Remove 1 and type 2 and so on until page 8. Or visit the Forms area of the GBI site for everything I'm talking about here too.
Release From Damages
Pretty much taken from the RPG. I updated some of the text and signage area. I also removed the original "notary" seal and made a brand new one using an image of a real notary seal and the "no ghost" logo. It's simple, I like it.
GBI Billing Form
I know from an official prop invoice, it's been recreated and reworked through the years. One of our members created a new version I believe prior to the GB II prop invoice surfacing on-line. I took our updated invoice and made a new one mostly because I didn't have the original file and make it more universal, well global.
GBI Work Order
In the early days of GBI's web presence friend and GBNJ "CEO" Bill Malkin made this GBI work order. Only thing I did for 2013 was update the letterhead.
US EPA Temp Permit
The original came from the RPG book. However by 2004 it was looking dated. I don't know if the original was changed just enough not to resemble a real EPA form from the 1980s. In 2004 we knew it should be updated. Bill (who was my original co-admin) updated the EPA permit. Which worked and would work today. Problem was I didn't have the original PSD file. Last year I took a smaller version of the image and recreated it, even using real EPA papers for reference.
GBI Blank Stationary/Letterhead
Through the years I've offered a blank "universal" GBI letterhead for any franchise to use. I can offer the PSD file if someone wanted to add there franchise logo and information instead.
In the past we've had business cards and IDs. I know other fans have posted there versions here. I know other GB "franchises" have made there own. In a future update I will most likely make new cards and IDs as well.
If I can offer any other GB paper props like those or something else I will.
Enjoy. :cool
