I'm already pretty settled in, but I agree in regards to how power has shifted. Those more interested in story are rarer, as opposed to those who just want to beat each other up, when there's no limits given to power. But when limits are presented, or enforced, it does force folks to focus on character, rather than say, power.

It's also one of the reasons why I scaled back the overall power of the Dark Rockverse in the All-Verse, in comparison to the material it was based on. As some of the characters who were from the early days of the Rock-Army, aka what the Dark Rockverse is based on, could have reached nutty levels of power. No point in having characters who vaporize solar systems on their own, if it doesn't fit the setting. That does more harm than good. It ain't Marvel or DC, where such power scaling does exist and for good reasons. It's roleplay, some stuff has to be dialed back.

I have noticed that most threads these days deal with more street level stuff, to perhaps city level. And that's very good. Even if it can constrict some fun ideas, in favor of power. That said, I lost my train of though. Watching Macguver with family, so that's a trip. But I think I rmember a bit of what I was going for. Sometimes, its fun to just write, and see if folks enjoy it. I think that was it. I dunno. Meanwhile, the biggest concern I have right now is a good CS layout, because I'm indecisive.
