First, you have to know your group.  Differences in skill, abilities, amount of magic, DM style make a difference.  They all accumulate and become bigger differentiators in my experience. It's harder to write a generic module for every group.  Second, too many low(er) level modules focus on things that should in my opinion be reserved for high level play.  The world ending?  A thunder of dragons collaborating to wreak havoc?  Those are high level campaigns.  When you have RoT and 15th level PCs fighting a dragon god, where do you go from there?So while I think high level can be a lot of fun and it's always my goal to get there, I understand why we don't see more of it.*We never got to high levels before 3 because we didn't use GP for XP.</blockquote>
