Favorite Level: DMs

[Reynard]

Inspired by this thread, I am kind of curious to see if there's a significant difference between preferred play levels, versus DMing levels.

So, this is the DM poll. What level range is your favorite as a DM.

5th to 10th. Things get wonky after 10th, and everything feels so sandboxy for the first couple of levels.

 

[The Human Target]

5th-10th

I'm thinking its going to sweep this poll.

My prefered range would have been 3-8 lvl, but I voted 5-10.

You know, I expected Medium to do well, but I never expected it to do as well as it has. It has an overwhelming majority over all other contenders!

Despite my choice of medium, however, I mostly prefer levels 5-13: medium and a half, I suppose.

My favorite are levels two through eight (2-8). In fact, my games always end before the players reach 12th level. I usually treat games as if 11th level is, in effect, Epic. Imagine the +20 Jump check characters could easily have at 11th level.

If medium takes the win, perhaps a second poll could focus in on a more specifc level range. 5-8, 9-12 kind of idea.

What is really surprising me (and probably shouldn't) is how many more responses the DM poll has than the players poll. Is that an ENWorld thing, or a 'hangs out at internet forums' thing?

I think people are just firmer on their DMing preference, in that many people are just happy to play - at any level.

I picked 10-15 because that's when I think PC's really get into their own
- but I can see the mid level draw.
PC's are not so fragile that one good roll and it's all over (which by the way is also a danger at high level). But their not so buff that they're effectively super heroes.

Good idea. 8-12 would have been my pick, but since that's not an option, I picked 5-10.
