TTRPGs Balanced by GM Instead of XP

[Quertus]

I mean, if it's not doing that then you have a different problem I'd say. A game where you can be Bruce Lee or Goku but all you do is play golf for instance could exist, but I wouldn't call it an RPG. You're playing a role, sort of, but that's not really the core engagement that brings you to that game.

Does it come as too much of a surprise that I think that sounds awesome? I might actually care about Goku or golf under such a premise.
