So monsters were designed around four member parties; so your 13th level party was more like a 15th level party. And if your players were good at system optimization/tactical play, they're more like an 18th level party. And if they had a good amount of magic items on them, they would be more...

How many PCs are we designing for? A three person party is very different from a six person party.

If you don't want a single control spell to end an encounter, just give your boss monster an army of underlings to accompany them during the boss fight!

Did we mention Pioneer yet?? I might have missed it browsing through this thread? I assume having someone with NASA experience write your space TTRPG qualifies it as simulationist?? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mongoosepublishing/the-pioneer-rpg-explore-the-solar-system "Pioneer was...

I have to disagree with the premise of this thread because I'm firmly in the camp that Gygaxian Naturalism will produce the strongest community in the long term. https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-wars-are-good-for-enworld.699118/
