Further to the Chaos is a cop out, have moral quesions etc thread..

<< add a Star Trek style moral-of-the-story
 theme to every adventure...then every game session can just be bulging
 with socially redeeming value and valuable lessons...
>>

I can't see why anyone has to stick to any one particular style. One
'session' (I'll not call it an adventure because that narrows down what could
happen - an adventure is not apt to describe a law debate for example) could
be a straightforward hack and slash, next could have a moral dilemma, then
maybe a 'strategy' game where some sort of output has to be maximised (eg
planning a caravan route, deciding where to take your nomad beasts for best
grazing/low risk etc), political intrigue, full scale warfare. Why not do
all of them?
