Since when did high-powered games/characters equate power-games/gamers? After all, the epic sagas are usually about the larger-than-life heroes and their larger-than-life struggles.

While this looks like it's written with the tongue planted firmly in the cheek, it makes me sad every time somebody apologizes for running a game with characters of epic proportions.
