I say lets leave it easy:

- No NPC's, if we just stick to PC's (Playable Characters) we could easily make about a weekly or one every two weeks, with NPC's it'll take much longer and it would affect the gameplay, giving the illusion that NPC's are actually PC's.
- Not story related: viewers who don't know the game won't know what you are talking about, so a seperate story must be made.
- Short, random jokes are fine, as long as everyone will understand the jokes.
- If the game should gain populairity by it the best way is to show the gameplay with a nice own stroyline and in a funny way. The gameplay can only be shown through battles, but those battles can still be original.
- A site will be needed to support it, so people can find the episodes all in one place, and possibly a link to where you can download the game.
- At least one map would do for some time, but eventually a new map must be made with different layouts to be able to give it enough room to develop, and to prevent a monochrome view of the game.

Ok I think I've said enough long sentences by now. I hope this is the direction we are going, because it is possibly the best.
