[QUOTE="StarFyre, post: 6363087, member: 26055"] so a bit of a long story; we had a D&D group in high school started in 1994 (we graduated in 1996). Our english teacher was the DM. We played about 2 hours every thursday after school. During the summer/xmas holidays, we went to his house to play a full day session. After we graduated, till about 2006, we continued playing 2-3 times/year @ his place. But then after he retired, we had to stop; he got very busy with other retirement activities. In 2011, friends and i suggested playing again but they voted to continue that old campaign. So i got our characters (2e) and I took over that campaign. It started with 12 players in high school...now we have 5 (8 characters). We converted the characters into 3e/pathfinder and I have continued to DM it ever since (3-4 times/year). The hard part - @ the time we had finished the frost giant lair in the Against the Giants and our old DMs plan was to travel to the underdark and fight lolth. Friends wanted to continue this story. When converted in, everyone was levels 11-12. Now, levels 20-22. THe issue is, gods in 3.XE are more like actual gods (lolth in 1e's adventure really isn't anywhere close). So we continue to play; friends are having a blast but DM'ing it is a lot of work. We've had to add tons of customizations (on top of the 1000s that 3.XE/pathfinder has), house rules of new abilities, etc. I expect game to reach levels 50-60 range before they can actually fight actual epic gods. I've added to the background story now so there are much worse things than just Lolth to worry about (that they are just getting hints at). Sanjay [/QUOTE]
