The year 2015, nearly a year after the death of Dr. Egon Spengler and 30 years since the Ghostbusters first opened up shop in New York. New Orleans, the most haunted city in America and proud of it, now hosts the South Central Ghostbusters branch despite the protests of many citizens. This is the city where the paranormal is treated as just normal, and hauntings drive up property values. So why are the world's most renowned hunters of things that go bump in the night being allowed to operate here? Well, due to a recent rash of malevolent ghostly encounters which had injured a dozen people, the New Orleans Hazard Mitigation Office invited the company to open up a new branch and covered the start-up fees in order to keep the citizens safe. Due to the local public embracing the supernatural, the government has allowed the Ghostbusters some leeway to stay. The New York Branch has even suggested selling "Haunting Certification" to help cover operating costs.

What is Canon?
Well, dear player, knowing the lore of Ghostbusters isn't strictly necessary since the general public of the Ghostbusters-verse remembers just as much as you do now. But for my personal reference in the RP, I consider the two films and the video game canon along with the 2011-14 IDW comics. But as I said, you don't really need to know that and IC you wouldn't know most of what happened to the Ghostbusters unless it made the news.
