We played a game about a year ago where there was rumors of a ghost in the swamp. NPCs kept hinting and urging us to look for money in the swamp, but I wouldn't go... too afraid of ghosts. So we went off and became pirates instead. As a DM, I don't use them unless the plot deals with them specifically. I never just throw skeletons and vampires at PCs as random encounters. In my home-brew, undead are typically quite rare, though there have been wars with them in the past. Necromancy was banned long ago by the council of wizards, but there are still perverted warlocks out there who think undeath is cool... As a regular person, i do find the undead pretty creepy. Horror movies about the undead are usually scarier than horror movies about demons or serial killers, IMO.</blockquote>
