So we need negative levels?? Commoners can be level -5!

Oh wait, I forgot. 6E should tell people to join Enworld! Arn't we the greatest online Dungeons and Dragons community to ever exist or what???

It's not about how many powers a hero has; it's about how much heart they have!!!

Edit: also thought another character soloing a dragon

If we're just wishing for what we want; then let me tell you what I want... That every person who plays 6E will control their own destiny. An edition of the truly free! An edition of declaring action, not spewing words; ruled by judgement, not committee! Where the rules change to suit the...

Instead of thinking about rules, I want to think about the training process of the developers. For example, I think the developers should participate in UFC style matches to better understand how unarmed combat works. Or go spend a week camping and hiking. Or maybe go forge their own swords???

Isn't the most important thing for playing 1E a DM who already has been playing it for decades already???

That happens all the time for me in the Maid RPG! D&D, not so much.

Your character can fight a tank but can they track down Carmen Sandeigo? And yes, I literally did throw a "where in the world is Carmen Sandeigo?" type adventure at my M&M group.

That reminds me, the Invincible TTRPG is having a Kickstarter; eventually... https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/invincible-the-roleplaying-game

Oh, we're looking for common pitfalls, eh?? I find expecting your players to read the rules to be a common mistake among designers. How do you design a TTRPG that doesn't require players to read???
