[QUOTE="shilsen, post: 3749227, member: 198"] Nice! We're about to have the 60th session of my Eberron campaign (see sig), which began way back on 26th March, 2005. I was out of the country twice for 3 months at a stretch in between, without which we'd probably be at 80+ games. The characters started at 3rd level and are currently at 13th, as in yours. Our sessions normally go for about 5 hrs, give or take a bit. They're not combat heavy in the numerical sense, usually having only one combat encounter a session, with maybe two and on very rare occasions, three. But the fights mostly tend to be knock-down drag-out fights taking PCs to the limit, and we average a PC dropping to -10 or below (I use an action pt/swashuckling card mechanic to survive that) every 2 sessions. We've been lucky enough to have the same cast for almost the entirety of the game, having started out with 4 players and me, and being joined by the 5th player only a month after we began. And they're all at least partially nuts, which helps a lot. We mostly use core rules with Eberron material, and some splatbook material (Complete Books, PHB2, Spell Compendium, Bo9S, very recently the MIC) allowed in on a case-by-case basis. But I've messed with the standard assumptions of the rules in many ways, both mechanically and otherwise (threw wealth guidelines out the window, essentially no dungeon crawls at all, PCs usually only have one fight in a given day, etc). Given that they're in Eberron and are 13th level, the PCs are currently the most powerful and by far the most famous adventurers in the world. The international newspaper, The Korranberg Chronicle, regularly runs stories about them and has started running a weekly column covering a number of their recent adventures. And in the last few sessions, they met two monarchs (Queen Aurala of Aundair and King Kaius III of Karrnath, to be precise) and escorted one's younger sister halfway across the world. In the last two sessions, they fought off an attack on an airship carrying the aforementioned princess by necromantic terrorists (Emerald Claw), and defeated the leaders of the attackers (a lich in a little red dress and her boyfriend) in a pitched battle on the underside of the airship. The victory was dramatically achieved after the party alienist cast a Limited Wish to weaken the lich and was promptly knocked out, dropping unconscious toward the forest below. The shifter druid (whose favorite form is that of a huge, obese dire bear) dropped after him, licked him back to consciousness (really!), flipped him on her back with her tentacular tongue, and came soaring back for him to Disintegrate the lich. Whose boyfriend took the damage and promptly blew up. Good times! [/QUOTE]
