Basically when i was 13 my friends and I would just chose a demon lord to fight each weekend with our vorpal swords. I am also playing a high paragon 4th ed campaign.As for DDN the most important thing is that the game has to damn well mechanically work at high level. Aside from 4th ed I have found various editions to dramatically break down around 11th and 12th level due to a range of problems normally due to overly powerful wizards/clerics (especially in 3rd) or PCs have very easy saves (especially in 1st).All I know is that I want epic to be not be a set tier as in 4th. I think tiers are too rigid. But I still want the game to function up until level 30 - after which you can longer level up. Personally I like the idea that every 6 levels you get an additional specialty and you can choose campaign specific specialties which at higher level echo some of 3rd and 4th level paragon paths/prestige classes/epic destinies.I also agree that gaming gets more political - so rules about strongholds is essential.But no desires about epic are going to matter if the game does not work after 12th level or so.</blockquote>
