[QUOTE="Shiroiken, post: 6359383, member: 6775477"] I have had 3 campaigns get to 20th level (or above). My first campaign was an AD&D 1E game that eventually ended at about 36th level. AD&D 1E was open ended, however, so there were no special rules for exceptionally high level. This was a long lasting campaign that took about 8-9 years playing several times a week (there was no single player left from the beginning and the end, and even the DM changed hands). My last 4E campaign was a Dark Sun epic game that ended at about 25th level when we defeated the Dragon of Tyr. At the end of the campaign, the DM forced some of our characters back in time to the Green Age, setting up a 2E game. This campaign took about 1.5 years playing once a week. That 2E game ran to about 20th level, but I felt this was undeserved, because rather than being based on XP, it was based on whenever the DM felt like leveling us (usually 3-4 levels at a time). This campaign took about a year playing about 3-4 times a month. The highest level 3E campaign I played through stopped at level 15. We had another one that was supposed to go longer, but it died at level 13, because one player used CoDzilla to break the DM's high level plot. I did run a 20th level 3.0E game that was a single adventure (fun, but non-casters really suffered). [/QUOTE]
