[QUOTE="Spinachcat, post: 4103393, member: 37588"] What is the longest campaign your group has achieved? How many levels were gained between the first session and the final one for that campaign? I ask this because it sounds like you are creating an overly huge arc. Be realistic about how many sessions your group really plays before a campaign collapses. You can still do this campaign, but you might need to do "level jumps" where after PCs may gain x2 or x5 XP so they can reach the desired level for the endgame. The best way to get players to stay together is to say to the players THIS IS THE GAME and that is why we are staying together. If a campaign ends because everyone wants to be a special snowflake in their corner of the planet, then players need smacking. If a character's personality is the problem, the player needs to change it pronto OR retire that character and bring one to the party with a much less asshat personality. If it is a player personality that is ending campaigns, kick that player to the curb. [/QUOTE]
