i am currently running a 3,5e epic campaign and playing in 2 more epic campaigns as a player, the scope of all three campaigns is so high so schizo for most but its so damn epic man, i wish more people could enjoy that level of scope and heavy lore, for example one one campaign we are all around 25 level, the campaign has been ongoing for around 14 years now, the xp system we use is slightly different and more hardcore compared to normal dnd 3,5e, when we level up we reset our xp to zero so for example you need 1000xp to go lvl 2 then you need 3000xp to go lvl 3 and then 6000 to go lvl4 etc etc, the dm has done away with epic spells and has created his own lvl 10/11/12/13/14 spells and there is basically this assasin cult of hextor that is controlling everything from the shadows, and it all boils down at the seven great wizards from 100.000 years ago that created this plane how its not the real material plane how the leader of the assasin cult is a god that wants to destroy this plane and kill anyone that wont follow him to his campaign to reclaim the real material plane that is now almost completely ruined due to the whole universe going through a greatly unstable period that causes planar breaches to happen and how the rest of the planes want to fight over for control over our fake material plane so that even if we defeat that damn god we will have to find a way to deal with the rest of the verse instantly invading to lay claim to our home ohh and to top it off one of those great seven wizards that created that fake plane 100.000 years ago is still "alive" (technically a vampire thus undead) he is also the cause of all the instability of the rest of the universe and has the backing of at the very least two deities a dagger that can unravel divinity and plans to kill all the gods and all living things, ohh by the way he is the necromancer and he created every living form in our fake plane before pelor the god of life said a massive naughty word you and turned his undead creations into alive ones, currently we are in sigil seeking the help of the lady of pain, we are locked outside of our fake material plane where the god is in the process of subjugating or killing anyone that wont join him and ultimately i would say we are kind of ducked but we will pull through somehow
