This is an excellent look at a tricky subject. One that I think can be discussed in many ways and from differing perspectives. Thankfully as ever GFoJE have managed to hit all the salient points and do it brilliantly. I'm sorry that I was "that guy" who 'well, actually'-ed at Scott's table. It wasn't my intention to derail or fun-ruin anything. Far from it, I was hoping that the point I raised would contribute to everyone having a more rich experience. My interruption was partly also based upon defending the integrity of the MH services who've been roundly criticised in the press and have been consistently defunded for years. I wanted to reassure anyone at the table that were they - or a loved one - ever to have the misfortune to find themselves in a situation that required MH support that they'd be cared for and any distressing encounters (such as having a bunch of sweaty investigators burst into your hospital room, demanding answers!) would be safely dealt with so as to best encourage their recovery. In all an excellent episode and now there's much scope to drop the term 'consensus reality' into conversations about gaming. All the best chaps.
