Seventh, the game should suggest means by which players articulate an inherent morality or value structure.
Eighth, all gods should be left out. They are dogmatic expressions of elements implicit in Fantasy as an art form, and they suffer from the same pointlessness within Faerie as do traditional Clerics.
Finally, fantasy games seem to me to have very different needs than conflict simulation games.
