Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dragoslav" data-source="post: 5870033" data-attributes="member: 6690267">My group meets every week for 3-4 hours.  I would like to be able to make it from level 1 to the end of epic tier in a one-year campaign. I also don't want there to be too few levels such that there is little granularity with power increases.Working the math on this, let's assume the 2-hour a week standard:2 hours a week for 12 months (ideal) = 96 hours over 48 sessions.48 sessions/30 levels = 1 level-up every 1-2 sessionsThat seems fast to me, making me question my initial expectations. To make it more reasonable and give players a longer time in between level-ups to get used to their new bonuses (powers, feats, whatever), it would mean either extending the expected length per session or reducing the number of levels.It gets even worse when you consider a group that can only play one 8-hour session a month, which averages out to 2 hours/week but isn't equivalent.8 hours 12 times a year = 96 hours, BUT1 session every month for 12 months = 12, versus 48 in above calculation.That means the characters would level up either halfway through each session, or gain 2-3 levels per each session.I would have to see a proposal for a game with a maximum of 12 levels, because if we're taking the game from level-1 lowly adventurers to max-level god-slayers, then 12 levels doesn't seem like enough discrete power increases in that framework.This could be expanded by lopping off epic-level content so that players can savor their experience at each level more + have more discrete power increases.  But then you lose exciting high-level, planehopping, god-slaying fun.So, at the end of it all, I'm not really sure what I want.</blockquote>
