One of the great joys of playing roleplaying games, especially playing a single character through a long campaign, is in seeing your character grow and change. In traditional high fantasy games, it’s fun to rise from humble beginnings to be an important and powerful figure in the campaign world.

That’s because the sort of growth and change encouraged by traditional roleplaying games is different from the growth and change that most popular media is built on.
