Re: [RPG]: With Great Power..., reviewed by C.W.Richeson (4/4)

Great job as always, Christopher!

It sounds like this RPG skirts <u>very</u> close to the realm of "storytelling game," and is, at least, what I like to call a "3rd person RPG" -- i.e., the players experience the setting in 3rd person rather than through the "eyes" of their characters.

As for the power level issue... I'm not sure that deciding not to address an issue mechanically means that a game can "handle" the issue. If Daredevil can take Galactus barring GM (or, in this case, player) fiat, the system's not "allowing" for different power levels. It's just ignoring them.
