Episode 20: Choose-Your-Own-Adventure & Carbon-Copy Characters

George might be a little.... blood-lossy, but he's still going to try and run Ailsa through a Quiz segment.  We are talking about the choose-your-own-adventure style adventure gamebooks that so many of us grew up with - whether it was Fighting Fantasy books or more Famous Five.  It seems everything had game books made of it in the 80s and 90s... or did it?  With our true or false quiz we're going to see if we can spot the accurate adventures from the lying librums - will you be able to keep up with Ailsa?

There's also a visit from the Mailer Daemon who brings us another Ask A GM message scroll.  This time our anonymous contributor is unhappy about a player who always picks the same type of character, no matter the game - for example they always play an Elf Ranger, or always choose a Dwarf Fighter etc.  How should a GM cope with someone who turns up with Thognar the Barbarian XIII for their next Blue Rose campaign?  Is it even really a problem?

Mixed in with all this is controversial discussion on the best Crystal Maze host, a comparison between role-playing games and Derry Girls, a contractual update from Mrs Shawney,  some more inspiration for Frank and Bunty of Shoved Granny Games, and a sponsored segment with one of our cast trying to branch out with their own show. 

A short hiatus may follow, but we'll be back as soon as George heals up!
