[QUOTE="dante58701, post: 2869277, member: 40336"] It's actually been ongoing for years. And with the ultimate rule of "DM is GOD!!!" it actually remains balanced. I just dont let things get out of hand. No matter how tough pcs get, there is always someone more powerful. I just dont introduce all the nasty beasties right off the bat. It's not like a first level cleric is going to interact with a balor or worse. And even if they did, it wouldnt last very long. Either the cleric gets killed...for being too nosy...or an angel rescues the poor cleric. But traditionally, low level characters rarely interact with higher level characters. It just doesnt happen. I think you just seriously lack any real imagination when it comes to the plausibility of such a world. It would all depend upon the DM and the players. For some people such a scenario would be over the top. For others, it might just work. To each their own, for there is a fantasy in the mind of every gamer...and this one just so happens to be mine. The world is quite vast...the size of a galaxy. Which would propably make it a macrobe planet or something similar. This would make it easier for such things to occur on a realistic basis. Not that anyone is going for realistic. Afterall...humans...realistically...do not shoot fireballs out of their asses. I think some of you ...not all of you..just some....seriously limit yourselves when it comes to epic material. Ive always believed that there should only be limits if the DM and the players are incapable of handling epic scenarios with a level of decency and maturity. Ive actually had players play gods before, without any campaign disruption. And I was able to provide challenges for them. And the reason I could provide challenges for them was simple.
