Additionaly, I limit magic items (DnD) severely making potions, arrows and scrolls available but almost all other items be like artifact/relic/ inteligent items very rare and with drawbacks.
This "convention" series is some of the best episodes you've had. My solutions to powergaming have been in defining what treasure was...you can only gain so many gold pieces before limitations creep in....so you need land, reputatio, retainers, politics, alliances etc. these all create adventuring oppurtunities.
Also I love the idea of an achilles heel idea..A fighter with low intelligence(conan) a mage with low Constitution (raistlin) etc.
It's nice to hear that someone else is a fan of urban dark fantasy (ie: Call of Cthulu, World of Darkness, etc). It's a fun genre that allows for not only alot role-playing opportunity's but gives you a lot of flexibility in how you want to represent them.
no requests except to say great job once again and I can't wait to see the rest of it. Watching this episode of the show is like reading an RPG forum discussion minus the pages of text. It's insightful and entertaining.

I like hearing non-d20/non-WW games mentioned, especially among such a small audience

This show rocks!
Say, could you review Over the Edge? It's one of my favorite rules lite systems.
