Hot Rods of the Gods
"A Fab 48-page Flying Saucer Extravaganza!

Close Encounter of the First Kind: Evidence

Little Lori Blander has a problem. She levitates. Her parents have a slightly different problem. They are orbiting her.
When the Ghostbusters pull the Blanders down off the ceiling, they discover a tablet that predates human intelligence by at least a week. Maybe two.

Close Encounter of the Second Kind: Sighting

Next our heroes defend a junk-food factory, fending off flying saucers intent on stealing creme filling.
After an exciting encounter with Swneeze-Yip, the world's nerdiest alien, the Ghostbusters learn that their tablet is actually an ancient alien signalling device... Somebody phones home.

Close Encounter of the Third Kind: Contact

Juvenile delinquents from Outer Space! Green, four-armed, lobster-eyed aliens in leather jackets, bobby socks, and saddle shoes invade the Earth!
Can anyone stop these bug-eyed punks from corrupting our youth, skateboarding on national monuments, and turning the entire planet into one big demolition derby rink? Who ya gonna call?

Hot Rods of the Gods is a 48-page mondo blowout GHOSTBUSTERS adventure. Chock full of fun illustrations and pullouts, Hot Rods features an 11" by 17" card-stock map of Manhattan, The Mostly All New & Improved Super-Mega Ectomobile, and full-color hot rod counters for running the climactic demolition derby!

ApoKERMIS Now!

But a deadly prophecy remains, and fulfillment seems horribly near at hand. Is this the fall of Civilization? Or can the Ghostbusters gate-crash the world's last bash? A Ghostbusters RPG adventure module."
