Excellent advice. The GMlist often bats around a lot of topics
from a theoretical standpoint... but then there is always some
poor sap who has to be the test case. But this doesn't take GMs...
you can sit around and BS magi-physics until you turn blue and
decide that a pund or two of bacon will sit well... its happened
before.

And then we have to find that GM and give it to him if you know
what I mean :)
