Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jürgen Hubert" data-source="post: 3895186" data-attributes="member: 7177">Actually, I understand this perfectly well - most of the campaigns I was involved in until very recently were the same.But running an Exalted campaign has really opened up my eyes to the possibilities. "You guys are among the most powerful people in the world. The world has serious problems - not just extradimensional enemies, but also social and political inequalities and injustice. So if you aren't going to put things right, then who else will?"The crushing weight of responsibility for tens of thousands of people has added a whole new dimension of drama to the campaign - and thus made for some rather novel (to us) and fun roleplaying. On one hand, you want to improve the lives of all your citizens. On the other hand, if you screw up, lots of people will suffer. But walking away from it all does not mean that the suffering will stop - to the contrary, things will likely get worse for most people.So now the PCs are busy plotting, scheming, running their own social engineering projects and work to create something that will stand the test of time (one PC, in fact, wishes to alter the mechanisms of reincarnation in the world so that people will actually remember their past lives). They might disagree over some of the particulars, but they all agree that something needs to be done - and they can't just hand over this responsibility to other people who are less qualfied for that burden.</blockquote>
