And I'm a power-gamer myself. I just believe in, ya know, rules and fun. Pen & Paper is not a video game to exploit and claim victory... it's a much more complicated experience and it involves other people -- friends -- who you should be taking into account. P&P is too tedious to play as a video game too... the whole point is roleplay and it's a weak experience if you're just munchkining your way to ultimate power. It's really tough dealing with people who don't understand or don't respect that. And again, this is coming from a powergamer with a tendency toward fun roleplay. ;)  I'm also a GM (in fact, I've GM'd much more than I've played), and that's a whole different experience. Pretty much my stements on gaming as well, its a lot more fun to build a charteer a round a story constept than a charter around stats. I've currently had a lot of fun GMing an Age of Rebleon campain, system force on the power of the charter coming from the story, by way of the dice, makes the system fun and flexable no matter what your class and stats are, unlike in 5 were you can't play introvered sorrcers with out failing in combat. Has anyone else play Age or any of FFG's other systems?
