Its all about your DM and the feel they try to create.In my experience, high level gaming does require significantly more work on the part of the DM and is in fact significantly different in flavor than low level gaming.High level gaming is much more super-heroic. Stick X-men, Superman, Avengers, etc. stories into a pseudo-medieval world where the trappings of magic replace the trappings of technology and you have high level D&D.I don't find X-men silly. Fantastic and epic in scope? Yes. Silly? No.If high level gaming is silly to you, then its unfortunate that you have never had the experience of playing with a DM who understands how to really make it work.IMO, high level gaming is superior to low-level gaming in the sheer vastness of the options available to both players and DMs.Some DMs and players prefer low-level gaming as a matter of taste. And more power to them. Others however, prefer low-level gaming simply because it requires much less effort and thought in making and playing characters or adventures. And hey, more power to them too. Different strokes and all that.The thing that offends me though is the Munchkin label that gets slapped on you if you like high-level gaming.</blockquote>
