[QUOTE="Setanta, post: 178663, member: 2183"] IME, this is true. My group is only 9th level, but as I plan ahead it's getting harder and harder. The problem with doing high level adventures, though, is that it seems they're harder to fit into a larger campaign, and to me making that larger campaign is the best part. Interesting.
