I haven't heard of any of those, but they do count and I do believe you. They are, however, outside of my experience and I can't personally relate.Thediem and his Guardians from Dungeon Life
Richter from The Land
Nick Campbell from Super Powereds
Johnny *****-***** (his villain moniker is inappropriate) from The Villain Code
John Sutton from Battlemage Farmer
The Mighty Halo from Grrl Power
Of course the problem is going to be "I've never heard of these, therefore they do not count, tell me something that I already know about" which is why this question is so aggravating to me. You've not read the literature I've read, so you just assume these things cannot be done.
There are more worlds out there than are dreamt of in my philosophy, certainly. It again comes down to preference.
