A place for people to ask questions, theorize or say they need a few days away from the game!

Thanks for having me! This game looks silly and fun, and easy to pick up and play!

And since you did mention this as a purpose for the lunch room, I actually will be going away for a few days—a short trip to Hong Kong on April 19th. But aside from my sleep schedule being thrown from a 12-hour time zone change, I don’t think my posting will be completely off from the trip.

Hi! Nice to meet you and thank you for getting the game run! Looking forward it!

In case any of you are unfamiliar with River City Girls 2, the artwork I used is of Marian. If you’re familiar with the Double Dragon series, the RCG2 take on how Marian got her "legendary abs" is pretty entertaining.


About that ending: Marian’s possessed when the River City Girls fight her as a boss; playable after she’s defeated.

An unfamiliar with RCG here ;)

I’m just about ready to kick this thing off! How do we feel about a fourth player?

Sounds traditional!

Great! If it is ok for the GM, the more, the merrier (there were a couple of more interested in the recruiting thread)
Mar 21, 2025 9:22 am
Okay by me!

Welcome, @Redcroc !

Looks like we have two non-psychic muscle-heads now. (You rolled the better-paying job, though!)
Mar 21, 2025 2:40 pm
We're about to muscle some non corporeal entities into submission! And we can always sell steamy calendars to help pay the bills. 💪

Also, love the RCG2 choice!

Hey evbody!

Excited to play a psychic in a supernatural game, especially one as freewheeling and simple as a Goons-derivative.

Depending how long this runs, I will be in Europe June 10 – 20 …

Oops… I meant to post in the Lunch Room.

Anyway, @tibbius , welcome! I also rolled a 1 for the day job so we’re colleagues!

:} … actually I had been thinking I'd shuffle the dice around to be a Psychic! But your sanitation worker could certainly have visited Jasper Strone's "office" betimes.

A shuffle is fine too. KCC allows that, and I think avoiding duplicates is probably not a bad idea.

Welcome, all! I hope to permanently return to Europe myself sometime in May. Been in Korea a long ole time and the moves are being made to, well… move.

I lived in Asia for a few years (in my case, US to Hong Kong and back), so I kinda know the feeling. Good luck with the move!



Looking forward to busting some ghosts together! Also, this is the closest I’ve come to playing a game with mind/body/spirit stats and it’s the ONLY game in which I LIKED randomizing character creation!

Always wondered what HK is like to live in.

My first pandemic live chat game was Tunnel Goons, the ancestor of Goons & Ghosts. "Brute + Skulker + Erudite" were the three stats. I suggest you check it out on itch.io; it was a lot of fun to play.

I loved HK when my wife and I were a childless couple, and I was thin from the combination of walking and the tropical climate. But the best part has to be the food. You get the local flavors—dim sum, cha siu fan (BBQ pork rice), sweet soups, freshly-caught sea food (which I normally don’t like, but Lamma Island is where I make an exception), beef brisket noodles, and various street foods and SE Asian fruits. And you also get authentic Shanghai cuisine, Korean and Japanese.

I will admit that it helps to be dating/married to a Cantonese-speaker, but you can get by speaking English in some places.

"Brute + Skulker + Erudite"
Funny that the stats are B-, S- and E-words in both Goon games. Like, I seriously started thinking of other combinations like "bold", "sneaky" and "enchanting." (I probably didn’t need to admit to this dorkiness in writing.)

@KCC — I took too long to write my post, so you beat me to it!

But I had an OoC question in that post, so I’ll ask now.
