Grand Prizes: each session of GHOUL will offer 2 games with a grand prize for the first place winner of each of those particular games.  A grand prize is an item of better than off-the-shelf quality, and no two are the same.  The winner of any grand prize may opt to trade out for a general  prize (in which case, that grand prize will be slated for replay during the final GHOUL session of this year's festival).  Grand prizes are limited to one per character over the course of the festival.

General Prizes: all runner-up prizes (2nd and 3rd place), as well as any first place prizes for games that do not include a grand prize, will be as follows per game: choice of 1 Pre-written Signature Verb from a limited set list.  General prizes must be redeemed at the close of the game they were won during or they will be considered forfeit.  General prizes are only redeemable by the winning *character* and are not transferable in any way.
