[QUOTE="kenmarable, post: 4105206, member: 40359"] Personally, I love it. I haven't used the setting material much, but I really enjoyed the time I used the ghost rules. You do need something to keep the incorporeality in check because that's the biggest unbalancer. Within Manifest the city, I believe, all ghosts are automatically corporeal, hence the city's name, but outside of the city, if I recall (it was a few years ago), they are free to switch which can be a bit much.
