## Reader's questions

* Whenever shadow of mordor is mentioned people always say how they expected the Nemesis system to be a big thing and appear in loads of other games. Are there any other more overlooked mechanics or game systems that you think have the potential to be reused to greater effect in games other than the ones they appear in? Or: are there any systems that you thought were really good and have potential but where mired in either cruddy games or entirely the wrong genre of game for them to shine?
