Ghostbusters RPG With Shadowrun 3rd Edition
The New Ghost Busters - RPG using Shadowrun 3rd Edition
Around 20 years ago I fell in love with a franchise I thought was dead. It was funny, it was spooky and it was wierd. I was never the same after seeing Ghostbusters for the first time. I too wanted to hold back the darkness with my wit and genius. Fighting with the heart of a lion against what goes bump in the night. Soon i ended up learning about Call of Cthulhu the table top game and Shadowrun. I decided I wanted to try to add the action of Shadowrun into the mystery and investigation of Call of Cthulhu. This birthed this madness below.

Old Sr2 Character Generator
After doing a deep dive on researching old Shadowrun Programs (and I think I’ve decided to collect them all for mirrors) I stumbled onto an SR2 Character Creator. This was great for me because if I end up going down that road of making a character creator, I now have all of the base data files to extract the data and put it into a standard format (JSON in this case).

Initiative Tracker
After some more requests for tools, I bring you all my initiative tracker. So far it is made for Shadowrun 2nd And 3rd Edition (With a simple toggle for each edition). Currently it is configured to instantly remove initiative as they take damage. This is how my table plays however I realize a lot of others may not. I will make a toggle in the future which will remove this feature for tables that don’t play with it.

Shadowrun 3rd Edition - Matrix Security Sheaf Generator
Books Used in this article.
Awhile ago we had need for a good security generator. I know there have been quite a few, and I checked on an old one that I used to use, and the hosting was going out on it. I took a lot of the concepts and rolled them into a new React project. It goes a bit above and beyond for it most of what was there. It gives rules and allows for some amount of tracking during a run. One thing I definitely want to consider is making a save/load feature.
