The Ways I Am Not Using Ingredients

Brainstorming. Like I'm sure a lot of you are. In addition to my list of ways I might use these ingredients, I'm working on a list of ways that I am not working on these ingredients. My two current favorites:

1) Team + Actor + Law = Law & Order, the RPG. I just can't figure out how to make "Bong-Bong!" a game mechanic.

2) Glass, Ron Glass. The RPG where you play snapshots throughout the long career of the character actor Ron Glass. Ten shows, one hour each.

How are you not using ingredients?

team + steel + law = another judge dredd rpg
ancient + glass + emotion = Mirror, Mirror: the modern crone's guide to looking good & killing hot young things

ancient + glass + ? I kept thinking of a mystical glass city, like maybe Atlantis. But made of glass.

[quote="redivider"]maybe ancient + glass + committee. The search committee of the emerald city meets to pick the new ruler of Oz. Character creation could start with resume writing... I don]

Heh, that's cool. But I was just noting what I'm not going to use. I like my Three Dooms

Anybody feeling sharp enough to make a game about the Committee of Public Safety?

Forget Ron Glass, man. Philip Glass, the minimalist composer. Especially if you consider things like David Ives' play, Philip Glass Buys A Loaf of Bread.

"The basic setting is that composer Philip Glass is buying a loaf of bread when two women enter the bakery and one of them recognizes him. Except for brief spoken parts at the beginning and end, the bulk of the play is sung by the actors playing Glass, the women and the male baker, and sung in what the printed play describes as "Philip Glass-like rhythms" a la Einstein on the Beach. For anyone familiar with Glass' work, this renders it absolutely hilarious."

+Actor+Law= Shaquille O'Neal's battle against Hollywood lawyers to ensure that all copies of his movies are destroyed for the good of humanity.
