Since when did high-powered games/characters equate
power-games/gamers? After all, the epic sagas are usually about the
larger-than-life heroes and their larger-than-life struggles.

While this looks like it's written with the tongue planted firmly in
the cheek, it makes me sad every time somebody apologizes for running
a game with characters of epic proportions.
