Message: <blockquote data-quote="Altalazar" data-source="post: 2177346" data-attributes="member: 939">I think it is just a case of adjusting the campaign as the levels rise.  It shifts from life and death battles with a few goblins to disputes between kingdoms.  What I enjoyed most, as a player, about high level play was getting to start to do things that impacted the world - building strongholds, clearing territory, dealing with neighboring territories, etc.  Things that can't be solved with a single big combat.  Things that take the game to a different level.  I think the reason many don't like higher level play is they are trying to ram a square peg into a round hole - the sorts of plots that work for low level characters just don't work and are not appropriate for higher level characters.  PCs don't need to be legendary heroes - just rich landowners - if you like the roleplaying and such, think of all of the juicy possibilities if the PCs found their own city, or are on a city council, or are dealing with border tensions.  No matter how powerful they are, they can't be in every place at once, and economic prosperity requires stability that is based on more than the personal presence of the PCs.  Ah, I miss the days of running my own little country as a PC in 1E - I had lots of characters generated out of that - after a while, I started running the followers / apprentices of some of those characters.  Then I got the best of both worlds - and we could then go back to some lower level adventures sometimes, without giving up the higher level characters or the connection to that world.</blockquote>
