The Ghostbusters RPG rules seem ideal for running cartoon games: Cartoons are funny, the characters are caricatures, and no one ever dies. If you remember The Smurfs (and I only faintly do), you may want to play in the Smurfs world. As long as everyone is a Smurf or a human, you can use the rules "as is." But once Smurfs and humans start to interact you'll want to use my Scale Rules Addon.

The Setting
The Smurfs all live in Smurf Village in the middle of a forest. They have blue skin, and wear white pants and hats. I believe they are around 1 foot tall and are quite tasty (or at least the bad guys wanted to eat them). Most Smurfs use a descriptive adjective as their first name. When they speak, they often replace the normal verb (sometimes adverb, adjective, or noun) with "smurf," as in, "let's smurf out of here." Originally, all the Smurfs were male and around a century old, but then they got Smurfette (a young female Smurf) and a bunch of baby Smurfs (called Smurflings). An evil human wizard, Gargamel, and his cat (Azrael) live in a shack at the edge of the forest and spend all their time trying to capture a Smurf or find out the location of Smurf Village. They never succeed -- although they come close sometimes -- and every adventure ends in a half hour.

The Main Characters
The text descriptions below come from the Official Smurf web site, http://www.smurf.com/infos/who/qui1.html

Papa Smurf
You can recognize the village leader with his white beard and red clothes. Papa Smurf is no less than 542 years old - and no more either. He uses his wisdom to advise rather than tell people what to do. He often rescues the younger Smurfs from danger. He's also a pretty good alchemist.

Goal:   Protect Smurf Village
Distinctive Mannerism:   Wears beard and red hat
  

Smurfette
The wicked Gargamel originally created Smurfette to stir up trouble in the village. But Papa Smurf's magic turned her into the charming little Smurf that everyone adores.

Goal:   Find A Sister Smurf
Distinctive Mannerism:   Tosses her hair and acts bossy
  

Brainy Smurf
The only Smurf to take everything seriously. Brainy is a moralizer who believes everything Papa Smurf says is sacred. Everyone puts up with him, but let's face it: he's a bore. In fact, he's a real pain in the Smurf.

Goal:   Become Papa Smurf's Right-Hand Smurf
Distinctive Mannerism:   Tilts his head back and quotes proverbs from ancient sources
  

Greedy Smurf
Eat, eat, eat. Everything is tasty: sarsaparilla, soup, cheese, fruit. But what he really prefers are the goodies he often steals from Cook Smurf. His motto: "One should live to smurf, and not smurf to live"

Goal:   Eat Until Full
Distinctive Mannerism:   Always has a pastry in hand and berry stains around his mouth
  

Hefty Smurf
Distinguished by a heart-shaped tattoo on his arm. Hefty is the strongest Smurf in the village. He exercises, he is a sportsman and has even organized the Olympic Smurfs. One can always depend on him if there is any hard work to be done. He is kind of a lout but everyone loves him.

Goal:   Win Body Smurfing Contest
Distinctive Mannerism:   Flexes arm to show off heart-shaped tattoo
  

Gargamel
Living in a dilapidated hovel on the edge of the forest, Gargamel the horrible sorcerer is evil, cunning and two-faced wizard. He hates the Smurfs and is constantly in pursuit of them but the Smurfs always outwit him and manage to escape. After each setback Gargamel swears he shall be revenged. He (like all humans) is three sizes larger than a Smurf.

Goal:   Taste Boiled Smurf (Or Baked Smurf, or Smurf Kabobs, or....)
Distinctive Mannerism:   Rubs hands together while scheming to find Smurf village
  

Azrael
This mangy cat is Gargamel's 'underdog'. He follows Gargamel around hoping someday his master will catch a nice and appetizing little Smurf, but in vain. Azrael is stupid and evil...like his master. He is the same size as a Smurf.

Goal:   Taste Raw Smurf
Distinctive Mannerism:   Hisses and Spits in agreement with his master
