[QUOTE="Mort, post: 9191722, member: 762"] I've played "high level" in 2e, 3e, and 5e. Would have LOVED to have played higher level in 4e but it just never happened. For me, high level play is fun. The key is to make sure high level play feels DIFFERENT, not just low level play with the numbers amped up. But yes, it's fairly rare to non -existent in most groups. Too many DMs seem to believe high level play has to be earned by coming up through the lower levels, even with a group that knows the game well. Having now started a few sessions at high level, I don't share that opinion. That said, high level play with a group that doesn't understand the game/rules well IS a big challenge for the players and DM. It is especially challenging for the DM. which is why I think you don't see it that much, it's IMO, not easy to do it well. Especially not to make it different, not just low level play with bigger numbers. Is it important to the game? I actually think so. It's great for players to actually see the fruits of their labor and to actually get to see some of the BIG stuff in play and being interacted with. [/QUOTE]
