Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cam Banks" data-source="post: 3746777" data-attributes="member: 3817">High-level 3.5 can be a real headache, I completely agree. Writing for it (Price of Courage) was incredibly difficult. There's a reason that book took me the better half of a year to write. In the end, I think the story and the structure of the book works, but I've already read a number of actual play threads for people who're going through it who seem to wonder if it's dangerous enough, or if it's too dangerous, or ...At some point, high-level 3.5 is so heavily dependent on the players and their choices in making characters. If they know how to break the system and optimize their characters, there's a good chance that consequences mean nothing to them at all. PoC has some tremendously powerful encounters in it, but I eventually stopped worrying about whether they were too tough, or would become TPKs. I knew players would find their way around them. I've been reading over the Paizo APs since they came out and have to wonder how a party can even survive those, but I know - again - that they'll manage.My next campaign, which I'm starting just as soon as I finish my draft on The Sellsword for WotC, won't be 3.5 either. I'm going to run a game of Scion, with the Elder Amberites from Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber as the gods and the player characters as their kids. I fully expect it to be balls to the wall, high octane, over the top action and magic and epic stuff, but that's the idea. I know going in that it will be and that the game is designed for that to be the case. So we'll see if it can pull that off without disappointment. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Best of luck with RM2! I would be very interested to see if you could convert Spectre of Sorrows or Price of Courage to Rolemaster without losing the bulk of the adventures' meat, but as you say it's far more interesting to kitbash a campaign yourself.Cheers,Cam</blockquote>
