Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Mahdi" data-source="post: 4655540" data-attributes="member: 59506">Awesome.  Thanks for the link.  But, as far as the chart goes, or making another chart for the LFR adventures, I think I'm getting off this ride here. I put the chart together just to get a visual of level distribution, to see if there is a concentration of published adventures in certain level ranges.  The chart shows there isn't.  It just shows a preponderance of low level adventures, with the number of adventures per level tapering off in a fairly even manner the higher in levels you go.  That seems completely reasonable considering this is a new game and most groups will still be playing at those lower levels.  I would expect that distribution to actually remain the same for quite a while, if not indefinitely.  But the current distribution definitively refutes any appearence of a sweet spot based on published adventures.  Looking at the chart, anyone can see it just ain't there. Now, a sweet spot in play is another story (as some have already talked about in this thread).  I don't run or play 4E so I can't attest to an existence of, or lack of, a sweet spot.  However, from reading about most peoples experiences playing and DM'ing, it seems most people do not see or feel that there is one.  It seems that on that score, the 4E designers achieved their goal. The current chart is already running out of room for low level adventures, and Living Forgotten Realms already has more adventures than the rest of 4E combined (54 to 48 - not counting Open Grave).  By the end of this coming year (if not sooner) there will be so many official WoTC 4E adventures that it would be impossible to fit them on a chart like the one I already made - at least with a font size big enough to be read without a magnifying glass.  The only way would be to make the chart much bigger (than 8.5x11) which would make it too big to print. What's needed is an Index (like the .pdf Dungeon Magazine Index that's floating about the internet).  As I said before, I don't play 4E.  I do have a DDI sub now, (for Dungeon mostly), but I will just convert any of these adventures I do use to my own houseruled 3.5 system.  So, I don't need an index (since I convert them anyways, level really doesn't matter to me).  I only pick and choose adventures on story and plot, everything else is adaptable and convertable.  So, if there's going to be an Index of all of the 4E adventures, that's going to have to be someone elses baby.  Peace Out.</blockquote>
