"You'll have to forgive me, but I'm going to trust Maria here," Gauss said, quickly and sternly, more of an injection to the conversation.
He took no pride or enjoyment from Raphael defending him. What he saw was a tantrum that...
Mmm, no, not really.
Even in Campbellian structure, the denial of the Call To Action is one of the steps in the Hero's Journey (though not always necessary). It's just one stage (of seventeen) that the protagonist progresses.
The protagonist is the character that drives the plot forward. The...

Proposal
The narrative of your favorite show/game/book is now written with the perspective that the evil character or villain was the protagonist and the good character(s) were the antagonist(s).
Example Questions
1. Does the 'journey' of the story change? If so, how?
2. Do you see the...

With the new Wiccan support, a lot could occur within a short timeframe. No small amount for Gauss to take in, but truthfully, the situation was growing more and more beyond his control. He laid the initial groundwork, but like a...
Well sure, but the protagonist needs to be the driving force of the narrative. I can't think of anyone that drove Endgame harder than the man that wiped out half of sentient life.
Antagonist? What?
Thanos was a tragic hero. Try though he might, he failed in his noble crusade. He sacrificed that which he had and never gained the love which he desired. Someone had to make the tough choices.
The premise of the subject had potential for a decent conversation. It is simply unfortunate that it was taken in this nonsensical direction.
It could have been a discussion on the perceived quality of life and types of boons / unique traits or methods by which a chosen one trope manifests in...
I'm almost certain this has devolved into a troll thread.
Claiming Marvel is science fiction as if it also isn't fantasy? That's just silly.
This is argument for the sake of argument.
Besides that, the Infinity Stones canonically only work inside of their home universe. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong...

Because of the word choice here, you are categorically incorrect. By stating that the main character always has an advantage, you are disregarding all media designed to portray the main character as "Average Joe" or the various forms of media where the main character is actually given a penalty...
It's an assumption that being a protagonist is even advantageous at all. Depending on the work of fiction, being the main character equates to little more than being the most tortured soul in that specific piece of media.
What dictates how tolerable any one setting would be to exist in is the...
I'm told, and this could just be a rumor—who really knows for sure, that if you create enough lore, you in fact become the problem by in turn adding too many of these alleged small details.
Given what you have outlined, the idea to prevent "ability-stacking" that first comes to mind for me is to hybridize the system.
Either using the culture the character was from, type of warrior archetype they were, or perhaps the mythological figurehead that summoned them, you would provide...
Combat is the thing I put in-between character interactions and story progression.
That's not even a joke or snarky. lol
It's a lot easier to balance elements to a game (combat, narrative, character interaction, etc.) if you begin building encounters with some semblance of an overarching plot...
You're asking for instructions to start a group roleplay, but I think there's a bit of an elephant in the room:
Starting and maintaining a game is pretty hard. With casual games, there's always an element of luck. With more detailed ones, there's much more to execution.
Not only that, everyone...
