So it would be a bad idea for Bossuet to construct an accidentally-haunted clay bowling court, right? Bad idea?

(the blood of the martyrs who shouldn't be left alone with digging implements, carpentry, or any other damn construction equipment will water the bourloires of milliways)

I can neither affirm nor deny the advisability of this plan.

...Uh, but what sort of haunting are we talking? Other than that dead people play bourle there, which, yes.

Uh well, bear in mind that my judgment before about 10 in the morning is often poor, but the going theory was pretty much "ghosts are fun, I like ghosts, other people probably would enjoy an excuse to play with ghosts too." Now, I like my ghosts non-angsty, and ghosts playing grumpy-old-French-guy bowling games are probably not very angsty, but other players may enjoy angsty ghosts.

I do not object to ghosts!

My thought is just that with so many characters from canons involving various levels of hauntedness and various levels of death-sense and trauma and so forth, it's probably a good idea to preemptively nail down GHOSTS AROUND THE FIELD WILL DO AND BE THIS, AND NOT THAT OTHER THING.

Otherwise it's even odds you're gonna end up with some character dumping a giant angsty plot on the bourle court that ends with mid-game screaming match with their tragically dead parent (while someone else weeps WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN MY DEAD SPOUSE THERE THEN) and then a lightning strike that splits the court in half, which is only fun if you've decided going in that you're potentially up for that.
