    True.  And then I have to show them how big a God I am, and then they
become a bigger God...  Deific escalation only hurts the innocent NPC
villagers of a game world, AKA the "0 Level Peasants."
    I understand that the Crisis on Infinite Earths from DC comics started
as a game of Chaosium's Superworld between Marv Wolfman and Roy Thomas that
used unlimited points for the PCs.  And look what happened there!
