[QUOTE="Devilkiller, post: 2067538, member: 12360"] The one and only 3e campaign I've run is still ongoing, and the PCs are currently at 5th level. I have no particular plans on when to stop, but I doubt we'll go past 20th. I don't ted to water down the XP awards recommended in the book though, so new levels have been coming pretty quickly, usually in a month or less. On the other hand, some of the PCs are a little suboptimal, and it has been tricky providing a reasonable challenge while avoiding a TPK. If you're wondering what suboptimal means, our sorcerer had Identify as one of his spells at 1st level, and we have a halfling monk who does 1d4-1 damage or throws shuriken for a whopping 1 point of damage each. On the other hand we have an orc barbarian with a Str of 22. As a player I went up to 18th in a game that went to 20th but had to miss the finale due business trips. That game took about two years. I also earned my way form 1st-16th in a game where the DM gave everybody 5 free levels and a bunch of roleplaying goodies over the last few sessions.
