[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6359243, member: 1210"] Let's see... I'll examine my games for the last long time. My current 4e group is mid-epic, so about 26th level. So, that's 1/1. My current 1e group is 1st to 2nd level, but they haven't been at it long enough to count for whether they will get there or not. My last 4e group ended at high-paragon. So 1/2. Before that, we played a 3e game (continuing some pcs over from 2e) up to the high 30's. So 2/3. Concurrent with that at different points, we played, among other things, a halfling game that went into the mid-high teens. So 2/4. Also, a low-magic game that went into the low teens IIRC. 2/5. Also, a game I ran with a separate group that ended around 6th or 7th. So 2/6. Before that... a game that started off with orcs and evolved over time, ending in the teens as well. Some pcs later joined the game that went epic, but... 2/7. Before that, a game that ended up as a Firestorm Peak game for a while. Ended in the teens as well. This was the first 3.0 game I ran. 2/8. So back to the 2e game. Ended in mid-high teens, which was pretty darn high in 2e! Still- 2/9. Then my last game before I moved to Davis. Hmm, high single digits was the top IIRC. 2/10. Before that, the evil pcs/Apocalypse game that ended my old campaign world. Some of those pcs were in the 20s or higher. 3/11. Before that, hmmm... the game with my new player group. Ended at fairly low levels, about 9th. 3/12. Before that.... let's see... that would be the main Oerth 2e campaign. Ended up with a fight vs. Vecna and several pcs in the 20s. 4/13. Before that... we're back to 1e. The Mervin party included a pc wizard 20 by the end. 5/14. Before that, the "next generation" party. Ended in the 5-7 range. 5/15. Before that, the "Old 1e" game. A number of 20+ pcs by the end. 6/16. Before that, the homebrewed setting that ended up as a knock-off of the Adept series by Piers Anthony. Ugh. It started so promising. Ah, high school. 6/17. Before that, my Monty Haul days. 7/18. So, for me at least, I get to 20th level or higher in my games about 7 out of 18 times, when I'm running non-one-shot groups. I'm sure I've missed several, but that's approximately right. [/QUOTE]
