[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8439362, member: 6802378"] D&D is epic fantasy, with options for other different subgenres, but the game is not designed to be a loyal adaptation of classic superheroes. The age of classic superheroes where a lazy scrippter could use the superpowers like a magic top-hat to resolver all the challenges has ended time ago. Now we are in the videogame age, where the main characters, the PCs, are designed for a balance between power and vulnerability, success and failure. Today the old superheroes who could move buildings are too boring and "Mary-Sue" for the eyes of the new generations. My opinion is the famous superheroes we know are going to be "nerfed" for an easier adaptation to future videogames. There are videogames of Batman or Spiderman, because the are powerful but also enough vulnerable, but Superman is too powerful. The future setting of Witchlight could allow crossovers with mash-up versions of famous franchises for children, for example a domain about sentient ponies, or other ruled by the archfey the princess Peach who summons the heroe Mario against the hordes of the king tortle Bowser.
