Well said, I think, thank you.

Do people think that lower powered player characters lead to more roleplaying? Do you think that having a standard competent normal player character starting point or a low powered character starting point in superheroic games, leads to more characterization, backstory development, and relationship building in roleplaying? I get the feeling that the lower powered, I make starting characters in my campaign, the more the players put effort into; developing their characters personality, roleplaying their way out of trouble, and developing the cultural norms of their society of origin. Short of it is...less skills and powers, more characterization and roleplaying, rather then powerplaying. I think Forgetten Realms in Dungeons and Dragons is a good example of how to roleplay, rather then powerplay, with it's detailed magic item histories and appearances as one example. Though, Forgotten Realms has it's own powerplays of a sort. What do people think?

Magic Item Aesthetics I agree. What we need to do I think, Old Man, is have a section for aesthetics (appearance, beauty). But this would take an advertising executive....like me! LOL Problem is, this takes alot of reflection and time. Creativity doesn't just happen, well not quality creativity anyway. I am going to post some magic items from a competent normal fantasy game I have if people are interested. I was very concerned about aesthetics.
