Spengs wrote:Is the content of the books the same as the content found on this site and Ghostbusters International®?As far as I know.. these books are GURPS books that follow closely with the Ghostbusters Plot (but never reference it for legal reasons). The books are probably part of "All Star Jams", but only Lupo can say for sure.
If it isn't, is it new material? If they do contain new content, is the content on-line?
Either way the covers are cool.

There are pictures in it from all over the web as well as some drawings that he did himself - like tech drawings of the Ecto 1, 2 and 3.

The books look impressive, but I'm deeply concerned about where the content was collected from and if the proper permissions were given.

Except for these pictures I don't think anyone else is going to see any more of them. He did credit the artists when he knew who they were, but a lot of the stuff was pulled from other people's scans on the web.

The books themselves we'd simply ignore since they are limited to a small gaming group. I like the idea personally and think it's wicked cool. I may have to do similar things with my groups.
Distributing the PDF is a outright criminal act: a violation of copyright law and trade dress. Please don't distribute it further. We're in the process of finding copies posted on the Internet to have them taken down. Sadly, usenet is a bit tricky to clean up.
We're happy to have our fans support our products with cool ideas, but we have to protect our copyrights so we can stay in business and make MORE cool stuff for our fans. Please review our online policy, which includes a short but effective education on copyrights:
