I saw the topic and thought:
"I roll my dice a quarter mile at a time."
I DM three groups:
1 Online game - Dragonlance since April. Lvl 4
1 Online game - Forgotten Realms since Feb. Level 4
Wed. Adventurer's guild: Lvl 2 currently. We start OotA tomorrow. We did some pre-adventures where I got them to level 2 first. I'm afraid they'd die if we started at level 1 and I wanted more time to read the adventure.
Last Season AG: We had people cycle in and out a lot. It was hard to get the group past level 3. I started awarding some heavy XP bonuses for awesome roleplay. We ended up around level 5. Didn't finish the adventure but everyone had fun. I did a pretty epic 4 hour endgame with the sphere's of destruction and drastically changed the landscape of the Dessarin Valley.
