# Scared Stiffs

Scared Stiffs is an adventure published by West End Games in 1987 for the light-hearted role-playing game Ghostbusters, itself based on the movie of the same title.

## Contents

The Ghostbusters (player characters) are going to be the guest speakers at the first annual convention of the Quasi-Unearthly Association of Clairvoyants, Kismetologists and Spiritologists (QUACKS for short), but soon find themselves at the center of an alien plot to steal Earth's ghosts.

## Publication history

Following the success of the 1984 movie Ghostbusters, West End Game published the licensed role-playing game in 1986, and immediately followed that with two adventures the same year, Hot Rods of the Gods and Ghost Toasties. A third adventure, Scared Stiffs was released in 1987, a 32-page softcover book with a cardstock map, written by John M. Ford and Bill Slavicsek, with interior art by Timothy Meehan and cover art by Fred Ottenheimer.

## Reception

Graeme Davis reviewed Scared Stiffs for White Dwarf #92, and stated that "A nice adventure, exactly in the spirit of both film and game, Scared Stiffs is well worth a look from all Ghostmasters. But then you didn't need me to tell you that."
