Game and Story Use
- Ghost towns allow for some really impressive firefights and explosions without having to worry about civilian casualties.
- The reason for the abandonment of a ghost town might not be the usual commercial or governmental reasons, but the result of actual ghosts, monsters, or other supernatural hauntings - and this will make such a locale a lot creepier.
- Especially if the player characters don't know the precise reason, but have the suspicion that it is a nasty one. The game master is then obligated to make it even worse than they could have imagined it.
