Sounds about right. With action adventure=2C your noun and verb roots are c=
arrying the meaning - you don't want subtle nuances that take time to diges=
t=2C you want vivid imagery coming thick and fast.

I tend to agree. We have pIqaD=2C we have number symbols (and they're my gr=
eatest failing in pIqaD right now)=2C and our brains will want to default i=
nto romanised because that's what we're used to. I think it'd be best if we=
had pIqaD-only. Perhaps a list of pIqaD-romanised equivalencies could be p=
ut down the sides of the board=3B on standard Scrabble boards there's alway=
s a list of the letter-points equivalencies=2C so how about just adding ano=
ther column with the pIqaD characters?
