Clarify something for me: These stretch goals, they mean that they'll be included with every purchase of the game, right? I don't have the money right now to back this, but I sure as hell will be picking it up after it releases. How much stuff will I be missing out on? The things I really care about are the extra board game tiles, not so much the extra characters.

The things I really care about are the extra board game tiles, not so much the extra characters. Everything marked 'Kickstarter Exclusive' will not be available at retail. Most of the stretch goals will be included in the base version of the game, but not all. Some are collectors edition exclusive. That's the idea anyway.

The things I really care about are the extra board game tiles, not so much the extra characters. It also says in the upper right corner specifically which backers will get these bonuses. In the case of the latest two, only those Paranormal ($80) level or higher will get the bonuses. So, for example, the $80 backing will get you the base game + all the other playable/boss figures. Mass Hysteria includes all the add-ons, plus 4 exclusive game tiles, plus more missions, plus Stay Puff red boss, plus sandman boss, plus a print, plus glow in the dark dice. If you want to get the just the bonus tiles you can add the sets for $5-12 a piece separately. I don't see an option there for just the base game, so I think any pledge under $80 doesn't get you anything other than a thank you. So if you don't drop $80 now, you will miss out on extra ghosts, extra tiles, extra missions, and extra GBs. Basically you will get everything on the kickstarter page before you hit the "Pledge Levels" section. Anything past that is exclusive to the fundraising event. I'm not familiar with Cryptozoec so I can't say they won't release it later, but I'd lean towards 'no'. CzarChasm fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Mar 4, 2015 |

The Mass Hysteria exclusive stretch goals are a Tobin's Spirit Guide box for the ghost cards, and game tiles for the Shandor Building and the Library. As said above, they can be purchased for $5 more per item. I suspect they'll show off more stuff as it wraps up. If you're going to jump on it, jump now, basically.

So I have a course on ghost stories at my university and have a general question for everyone: Would you consider Dana's building in GB1 to be an evolution of the concept of a haunted house?

Just because it's in an apartment building rather than an actual house makes no difference. A filmic haunted house, following various tropes. Troubled past events intruding on present day, unexplained phenomena, visitations from other worldly beings. See also: Event Horizon

My major concern is that it has ties more to the demonic end of things as opposed to the hotel or library. My term paper is on the evolution of the haunted house in fiction, so will be also including the Overlook Hotel, maybe the Deitz house from Beetlejuice, and maybe the cabin from Evil Dead.

Data Graham posted:And Poltergeist I presume. Quite possibly yes, although with both Beetlejuice and Poltergeist, those are more traditional haunted houses. Same sort of thing with Evil Dead. I want to explore it as an evolution to things like apartment buildings and hotels. Although that does leave Poltergeist 2 open...

It's interdimensional, technically, but you could argue that the same applies to any haunting since there's no universally accepted concept of where ghosts and demons come from.

Dana's apartment is a perfect example of a haunted house, with I guess the twist being it was purposely designed that way. Usually haunted houses are haunted because something bad happened there, somebody died there or whatever. Dana's building was specifically designed by the architect to direct all the psychic energy or whatever all into her apartment. Probably because that's where Gozer was going to cross over.

Like the glass house in 13 Ghosts (non-Scooby Doo variety), also purpose built. Although that was technically "haunted" in the same way the GB Firehouse is "haunted", ie a place that contained ghosts, but they were placed there.

A haunted house as a plot device or a location? Because there's a whole bunch of film that takes place away from the building, if you catch my drift. I could be wrong, but when I think "haunted house" film the building itself is front and centre of the plot, whereas in ghostbusters it's about the dudes who just so happen to be involved with this woman who lives in a haunted house(tower block) Again, I could be way off. As an aside, don't forget about DOOM HOUSE.

Both, really. Like I said, it's about the evolution from English Great Houses like in Turn of the Screw or the Bram Stoker short story The Judge's House into the different formats we see today like the Overlook, the Shandor Building, or the Knowlby cabin.

Before the freak out happens, it sort of sounds based off the Deadline article that, if I'm getting it right: Specifically, using this quote as a starting point: quote:“This is a branded entertainment, a scary supernatural premise mixed with comedy. Paul Feig’s film will be the first version of that, shooting in June to come out in July 2016. He’s got four of the funniest women in the world, and there will be other surprises to come. The second film has a wonderful idea that builds on that. Drew will start writing and the hope is to be ready for the Russo Brothers’ next window next summer to shoot, with the movie coming out the following year. It’s just the beginning of what I hope will be a lot of wonderful movies.” -All-female Ghostbusters is still happening. A 'sequel' with a male cast is being planned. -Ghostcorps is a production company with the original GB folks and others and is being created to spin out Ghostbusters related stuff. -Comments were made that just about every GB plan for the last 25 years never happened because too many people had too much vetoing power. Some thoughts of mine that spring up immediately: -It might be that Sony wants to turn Ghostbusters into an Marvel Studios-styled series of films with one coming out every year, each with a focus on different characters, different enemies, different tone, but all in the same shared-universe of Ghostbuster stuff. -GhostCorps might end up being essentially their name for a GB-themed Avengers-like 'superteam', or the name of the 'guy' team. -They have an idea that has them really aiming for a new GB film for the Summer of 2016 and 2017. That kind of production and filming one at a time might require them to have more than one cast to let the actors do other movies. -It's more about maybe creating a brand that they can use to sell the property to audiences by letting them release more Ghostbusters-like horror-comedies under one production company.

The_Doctor should go into marketing. Just a reminder that the Zombie Taxi Drivers are not free and were only unlocked as an add-on option, so you'll want to buy those too in addition to the Spectral Ghostbusters if you want every unique (non-Impossible) enemy mob available.
