Howdy from a chicago gamer. To hear you all talk, my town is a pit of bugs
and undead, so heres my two sense:
check chicago sorcebook, and Eye witness. I don't know where else our gm got
ghoul info, but they are a big political presenc in chicago.
Since the discovery of the Krieger strain of the hmhvv,(By Dr. Krieger) resposible for the
transformation, ghouls are bieng coralled and tagged.
Basicly, ghouls are infected people. Sick, maybe, with odd dietary
requirements, but not really undead. Some are insane, or moronic, and some
are very clever- i've encountered a ghoul decker- and well manered. like I
said, sick people. They have common needs, are socail outcasts, so they band
together.
Apperently they can use cyberware, maybe with varieng levels of sucess.
Infection seems to be the big problem- try bribing them with medical
supplies. Guns are good to.
The ghouls are more organized than you might think, but also not given to
random violence.
If you wan't a full summery of chicago ghoul ecology and politics, I'll bug my
Gm for more info and make a better precis. We play a pretty stock chicago,
but with a big anarchist slant.
