I think you state quite well, Vortessa, what happens to RPG players as they mature inside AND outside the game. Like all beginners the treasure and level gains were paramount. But as time passes it is the PLAY as well as the ADVENTURE that has become the most joy. One of my all time favorite PC that I developed in the Paper and Pencil version was a Gnome that was a multi-class fighter thief. His highest attibute was a dex 15 followed by a 13 strength. The rest of his numbers were in the 11 range with one 9 if I am not mistaking. He was a riot to play! And was was really cool was that due to his alignment (chaotic neutral) and profession as thief he would gain wealth but lose it also. Considering he ripped off a few temples he had a major price on his head. Now I constantly read on RPG boards how a 17 strength is soooo weak. Say what?! Anyway, nice post. You spoke much truth.
