If I wanted super powers, I could go play MARVEL.  The people they are looking to bring in the game want excitement, and action. There are times where I want that too, but I choose a game made for that.  If I was to have great shootout, I play cyberpunk.  When we want to blow things up, Battletech.  I play D&D for the ability to play in an imersive world, that makes sense in it's own context.  When I hit my players with a guy that can run up walls ans shoot laser beams out of his eyes, and then teleport behind the fighter and backstab him, I want them to say WTF??  Not.. "darn, I should have taken sense teleport, and hover...".  For any of you that played on NWN servers.  You will recognize the type pf player this brings in.  The kind that hunt and hunt until they get really high, and then talk to eachother in "role=play speech" until something else comes along to kill.  That is what I think this version will come to.  We will see for sure, but all of the cards are in place for it to happen.  MAybe I'm just too old fashioned.</blockquote>
