Now that you bring this up, I have a question about this Ghoul rules. I
have various SR products that have Ghoul rules, IIRC they are SRComp3,
SRComp and Target: UCAS; I don't remember anymore. I checked all this
rules, and from what I remember there were key issues where all of these
rules differed, and one set was more munchkinish that the others. Which is
cannon? Why the changes?

Actually, if you want to be cannon, you should swallow a bag of gunpowder,
run a fuse out from it, and put a metallic sphere in your mouth, and
light the fuse.

:-P

In the common tongue of teenage America, the term cannon, when used to
refer to a really big gun, has been replaced with the term "BFG". I'll
leave it to you to figure it out. ^_^
