Yes, i think I'm comfortable with that.  It's when its edging into " Its a brilliant idea but it would wreck the next bit of the adventure and I don't think I have the ability to think up a way of including it on the fly" - but the latter is often due to my inexperience.

But I like the hint that it would be a different type of game. :-)
