This week's hosts - Hida-O-Win & DaveEditor - SavageMick Dave and Hida dig through the ideas pile and pick some topics from the towering lists compiled by the Warlord. Savage watches from the editing booth and wonders if our insurance covers toppling topics? It's time to visit the General Lists... Does It Have To Have Wizards? - Why is there a reluctance to have games with no sci-fi or fantasy elements? Are we so eager to avoid the real world we need to sprinkle in elves and laser guns? Can 'Soap Opera Logic' or similar narrative devices sub in for supernatural elements? And is real-world drama as gamable as fantastic drama? Conversely, is it ok to have such things in a setting, but forbid them to PCs?

Unified Mechanics and Cognitive Load - Should a game use the same basic mechanics for every action, or is that just limiting what the game can do? Are people who want to roll one dice and get The Happy Number just lazy, stupid, or are they legit overwhelmed?

Random Bastards! - Players who want weird and wonderful outcomes every roll, versus those who would like to be able to plan and achieve goals.

Episode 811 This week's hosts - Liam, Dave & ScarrEditor - SavageMick "It is known that there are an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the Universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the whole Universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the products of a deranged imagination." Douglas Adams
