[QUOTE="discosoc, post: 6919791, member: 6801554"] I imagine the lack of high level adventures has more to do with the difficulty in coming up with an interesting conflict that isn't trivialized by the player's access to high level abilities, magic, and contacts, AND is something that they can package neatly in as a sourcebook meant to fit into existing campaigns. If you really think about it, there are very few examples of good stories and/or movies where you have a group of adventurers dealing in "high level" challenges. Like, Lord of the Rings would have been trivialized by most character classes at roughly level 8 or 9, if not sooner. Even stories where the heroes have amazing abilities relative to the rest of the world, like The Wheel of Time, often involve mostly politics or intrigue, with actual battles tending to involve either opposing armies led be the heroes or epic one on one showdowns where most of the fight is dialogue between attacks. These are simply not the kinds of game options that fit within the modern-day Adventure League style paradigm. [/QUOTE]
