That's really how little choices you have: Use the limited resources available or make everything yourself. I don't want my PCs fighting demons (or elementals) and undead all the time. I really don't, but at the same time I'm a human being and I can't be expected to write all my own monsters for 10 levels of play. So they have to be a significant chunk of it or I just can't do it.While at heroic tier? You have about ten billion options for all kinds of cool and different monsters. Paragon tier? You don't quite get into the billions, but you have so many good choices that you're pretty spoiled there too.Epic tier? Nah, forget it if your campaign wasn't about demons or specifically named solos/elites.Edit: Like just to make my point, I have 2 campaigns right now ongoing where I have an absolutely 100% clear idea from levels 1-20 down to what monsters I will be using. After level 20? I have no idea. I'm just holding out hope that when I get there support for epic tier monsters will have finally appeared.On the other hand I am starting another game soon where I have everything from 1-30 down. Why? Because I am indulging myself in all the new demons and elementals added to the game. It isn't that running epic tier is impossible: It's about what choices you have to do so.</blockquote>
