[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 2228810, member: 14041"] Thanks everyone for voting so far on my first poll here. There seems to be some confusion about the questions. Its a given that the PCs are central to their own story. If its not a given in games you have played then you should talk to your DM, you have a problem (possibly, I suppose a really good DM could make it work.) My question is more about the the campaign world and the PCs place in it. Again, not going to debate the merits of the examples (see first post) but if it helps think about it this way: Superman (and the big 7 of the JLA) are central to the DC Universe, what happens to them happens to the world. They are not only central to their own story, they are central to the story of the universe. The Teen Titans on the other hand, who may save the world now and then and certainly the city, are largley a younger generation of heroes learning to deal with a world that is dominated by the JLA. Their story isn't the world's story, but they are important players in it. The second tier JLA reservists, Firestorm for example, are there to lend a hand when needed in the group books and are central in their own books, but the fate of the DC Universe, and rarely even a given city, doesn't hinge on him being there. Again thanks for posting and responding all. [/QUOTE]
