I can't do much without my spell checker and I had to go without one for a
long time until I got a REAL word processing program that could share a
spell checker.
Anyway...
The Living Dead (I stopped using the term Zombie a while back because
someone pointed out that Shadowrun already has at least two different kinds
of Zombies) VAGUELY resemble ghouls. But there are differences. For one the
Living Dead possess next to know brain. They have instincts (go eat human
flesh...) and may possess a remnant of their past memories (in Day of the
Dead (theatrical release) Bub salutes and is able to remember how to shoot a
gun (very poorly, but he shoots a guy running down a hall). Most are stuck
wandering places that meant something to them in life. And I haven't even
really started to think about what will happen if Awakened sentients, such
as Dragons or Vampires are Infected. That is a BIG can of worms to open...
