Basically, it was paper money.In all the epic games I DM'ed, Union was always an integral part; I had no choice. The magnitude of the money and items is such that you need such a place. Union also served as a comparison bar for the players; when they walked in it, they didn't feel like they could boss around the citizens, it kept them on their toes: there's always a bigger fish.As WizarDru said, I wouldn't touch the Epic Spellcasting rules with a 10' pole. I created my own quick and easy system, and it's been playtested enough to determine that it's impressive but not overpowered.The monsters: indeed, after CR 30 you are SOL. A few things I did to fix this is;A- use the paragon templateB- use the epic template (a house rule of mine)C- use the monster hit dice advancment rulesD- add class levels to crittersFor example, I created a mega pit-fiend (about CR 45 IIRC) using the hit-dice advancment rules, and I added 20 fighter levels on fire giants... In one of my three epic games, it finished at level 57 for the PC. His last encounters were Hecatoncheires (CR 57) and an advanced Elder Titan (CR 60).At that point I told him "That's it. You busted my books. Next campaign...".</blockquote>
