And I'm not completely convinced that TFT as a game system breaks down at
high levels.
Yes, the stat number start breaking, and combat becomes dull. So what to
do? How about actually roleplaying for temporal power? Why? Because kings,
princes, and other power brokers get a lot more stuff than adventurers
looting yet another ogre's treasure stash. And unless you're really,
really, ultra-rich and can count on the people working for you, the aging
rules will catch up eventually.
