* AnAesop: At its core, "Shadowrun: The Code" is basically a lecture on TheGoldenRule (which Noah calls [[TitleDrop "The Code"]]). He explains this using baseball as a metaphor: If a batter hits a home run and then smugly watches it go over the fence before running the bases, he's just blatantly disrespected the pitcher, and should understand that the pitcher is going to nail one of his teammates with a fastball as payback for the first batter being a prick. Likewise, the main story of the video is about a ''Shadowrun'' game that went OffTheRails because the players acted like violent sociopaths for no good reason, turning what should have been a routine robbery into a needless bloodbath. As payback, Noah sicced a nigh-unwinnable boss encounter on the players when they tried to escape, killing several of them and (one hopes) teaching the players a valuable lesson in the process.

* TheMoralSubstitute: "Roll for Initiative, Jesus!" has Spoony examining a Christian-themed UsefulNotes/D20System game. He notes that it largely sticks to Old Testament figures like Moses and avoids statting up Jesus, presumably because, as he jokes, the average adventuring party [[LordBritishPostulate would try their luck at killing him just to see if they could]].

* BleachedUnderpants: In "The Dirtiest Book in the Game" (discussing the Book of Erotic Fantasy), Spoony points out that while the list of adventure hooks all have something to do with sex, they're fairly mature and serious[[note]]except maybe for the one where a sorcerer hires the party to retrieve his stolen pleasure golem, which Spoony says could make for a good comedy plot[[/note]] and not at all explicitly pornographic, and thus could be easily be used in a "vanilla" campaign.
