I am not quite sure that I see, or understand, the difference. The PCs are the main characters because the players chose to play them; the PCs are awesome because the game rules allow them to do "awesome things."  --- In my campaign, the PCs were tasked by a local noble to explore the ruins of an old castle (and the dungeons underneath!); to explore the surrounding countryside; and to free whatever treasure they can from the occupant monsters. The game is set-up as follows: a village, with a small dungeon underneath; the ruins of the castle; a dozen or so smaller "lair" dungeons; a demi-plane; and a wilderness area full of wandering monsters. The initial set-up was largely staus quo, but, monsters are now beginning to react to the PC's presence.  I have been running this campaign for about six months now; the PCs are in the level four-to-five range. One character has died and a hireling has been promoted to full PC status. These are not the only characters in the world who could undertake this exploration, but they are the characters the players have chosen - so their's is the story we tell.</blockquote>
