That is, despite being 12th+ level the PCs are still relative unknowns, have yet to make names for themselves, and frequently encounter others more powerful than they are of whom they have never heard. And advancement is fast, about a level per two sessions, or more.  My other game is played primarily online, with a core group of friends who have gamed together for over 20 years. We play over email, on OpenRPG or WebRPG, and have the rare live session despite being spread across the country. We started a couple months after the release of 3e. This campaign matches your description above.  The PCs are currently 5th-7th level, and they are THE heroes of the known world. One of them has acquired an estate from a evil noble that we exposed, and has a great deal of influence in the city. A retired PC is now an NPC member of the Select, a sort of ruling body in the city as the royal family is in shambles. He is 5th or 6th level. There have been many PC deaths, and two near TPKs. Only one fallen PC has been raised. The PCs are currently roaming away from the main city, and approaching your level 10 description, where they are famous across the continent. They should be working in concert with Kings soon, as they just found a prince who has been missing the entire campaign, and are bringing him home to take his place as King. howandwhy99, the more I read about your musings on the game the more I want to convince you to take the DMs chair.</blockquote>
