Power vs. Agency

Today I wanted to take a quick moment to talk about two terms that get bandied around a lot when talking about games, how they work, and how they feel. Players are often annoyed by feeling weak. GMs often struggle with players being too strong. But in my experience when talking about those problems what is actually happening is it isn't about strength or weakness, but about agency. So let's go into both real quick, because they'll be important for other conversations.
