I agree that giant monster RPing has quite a lot of potential.

Giant monster movies have always explored the depths of the human psyche. Who here can forget the rage displayed by Godzilla, a creature formed from mankind's carelessness and shunned for his horrific visage and incredible size. Though it's never directly stated, you can read in Godzilla's eyes the pain caused both by his isolation and the scorn of his creators.

And who cannot relate to Godzilla's ire upon meeting a similar creature who is appreciated and loved for his special abilities? Certainly, it is only due to the pro-American bias of the Academy that Godzilla vs. Mothra never recieved an Oscar.

The potential for deep, emotional, self-exploratory RPing is great, as everyone understands the tragic plight of Godzilla on some level. As was said in the masterpiece Godzilla 2000, "Perhaps there is a little Godzilla in all of us."

Although that's all well and good, I don't think it would be very interesting to me. Like most of the people here at RPGWW, my primary interest is in what some derogatorially call "hack and slash." The true fun of RPing comes through advancing a characters skills and abilities and testing them in combat against worthy foes. And regardless of its other merits, a giant monster theme just isn't conducive to that sort of game.
