[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5531921, member: 326"] Hey there! :) Hope you all like the article. Absolutely. I'll try and have my Super-Solo Rules for running REALLY big monsters on the website in a month or thereabouts. They are very quick and simple and should be robust enough to handle Universe sized creatures(although I'll probably stick to relatively smaller monsters for the examples). Certainly videogames like the God of War series, Bayonetta, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and forthcoming Asura's Wrath have all tried to add totally massive monsters and I think the fact that 4E sticks to 30 foot tall beasts is another indictment against the idea that the Epic Tier is in any way shape or form EPIC. As well as cut scenes out of sync with the current situation I have been thinking that actually cutting to different scenes mid combat (say when the BBEG gets bloodied) could be a nice idea to build tension. You probably want to integrate this sort of thing slowly over the Paragon Tier giving PCs more and more responsibility another reason to advocate playing characters from low level rather than simply starting at epic.
