Veering well off topic for this list, but this is the last one I promise!

I get the impression that Luke Crane is very keen to get tools into people's hands; the Monster Burner gives you tools for Stocks ("Races"), Settings (the lifepath lists), Traits, Skills, and Creatures; Magic Burner provides the tools for magical systems, and Emotional Attributes. It's not a rigidly mathematical toolset at times, but it is good for identifying the key decision points.

Back to HQ! (no beatings! no beatings!) ;)
