[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 7591583, member: 463"] Thanks for this. Doing calculations for my new weekly Primeval Thule campaign, which uses about the DMG-standard levelling rate of 1 session each 1st to 3rd then 2-3 thereafter, I calculated the highest level PCs should reach 20th from 1st level in about 11 months of play, which fits with your account. I just today had my second player get a 5e PC all the way from 1st level to 20th - [url]http://simonyrpgs.blogspot.com/2019/02/going-all-way.html[/url] - nothing too dramatic, the player finally calculated her XP and found she should have hit 20 [I]before[/I] the epic battle with the Astral Dreadnought last session! :D Battle log at [url]http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/2019/04/ep-76.html[/url] I'm finding that using the Paizo AP stuff works well for high level 5e gaming - stuff like the late part of Rise of the Runelords for levels 15-18 in 3e/PF suits 5e levels 17-20. For my Primeval Thule game the lack of Tier III-IV material is definitely a concern. For Tier III 11-16 I can uplevel some published adventures, but for Tier IV I expect it'll be mostly politics, war and Great Old Ones. :D [/QUOTE]
