[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 6494224, member: 67338"] yea, because they are the heroes of this story... not some mary sue from a novel?!?!? hows that. Of course they have a point and I would have to read a lot more then just a small entry, I read the paragraph about the country, and the next about her... I just didn't turn the page and see a whole right up for the chosen of a god 32nd level NPC that would end my campaign for single digit level PCs would be challenged... Like I said when you load your campaign setting with superheroes of epic proportion you squeeze out the stories you can run... If I want to run a story, I want to come up with a plot and an adventure. I don't want to have to explain away a whole setting full of landmines and explanations... especially since I don't care for the NPCs anyway (I would kill to never again hear about El munchkin). I want to run a game for friends, but when they ask to play in the realms it is literalry 100x the work. First I come up with my plot and adventure (in most settings this is the end) then I double check the basics of where my plot is, maybe come on here and say "Hey, I have this idea" for some feed back...
