[QUOTE="Graf, post: 2568502, member: 3087"] Two thoughts spring to mind 1. Demand and Supply. Epic is -very- hard to do properly. THere are no published Epic adventures that I am aware of. I am very unlikely to ever wind up doing Epic but that doesn't mean that I don't love the Epic adventures in Dungeon. They're facinating and creative. There are no published Epic adventures anywhere there is only [b]one[/b] epic book (and its a 3.0 version). Dungeon is filling a real need and I would not be surprised if the responce they were seeing has something to do with the absolute lack of Epic material. 2. Psionics is not exclusive/Epic is You're either playing an epic game, or you aren't. You can't have a game with a little bit of Epic in it; artifiacts in a low level game are a plot device not really a part of the ruleset. If I wanted to run an all psionic game in a homebrew I could, but for the vast majority of people who use psionics its part of the game world, not the whole entireity of it. Right now we have a Kalashar game starting. Its all psionic PCs. I expect there will be lots of psionic foes, but we don't really need a bunch of psionics only adventures or else we're in trouble. Epic stuff is so hard to do and takes so much time that even a bunch of epic stated foes in an otherwise unusable adventure is a big savings in the DMs time. [/QUOTE]
