Setting a particular level, number of sessions, or other out of setting reason feels very, very wrong to me. Playing on after the major story is even worse, however, as everything afterwords feels anticlimatic and the game usually just peters out with a whimper.My first campaign was predetermined to end with Queen of the Demonweb Pits, where the party would face Lolth in her domain. It could have gone differently if the party bucked against the obvious plot hooks, but my group tends not to do that. My most recent campaign was predetermined to end with The Final Enemy, as the primary story was focused on the invasion threat in that adventure. This doesn't mean I don't make changes to the story, but I normally have a goal I work towards.</blockquote>
