[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 6896974, member: 15700"] I've been DMing for 35 years. I would like to consider myself experienced. This is not a simple "re-calibrate on the fly". I'd have to rewrite everything in order to make something like HotDQ/RoT playable for a narrowed level range, and that's a LOT of WORK. For one, it doesn't make any sense to be reaching the culmination of that campaign when you're still only level 7ish or so, which is the pace I'm happiest with when factoring in the amount of time actually playing vs. how often you level up. Fighting dragon lords, dragons, and possibly Tiamat herself at level 7? That's a lot more than just modifying on the fly. No, what I'd have to do is what I'm doing with SKT. I.e., I've inserted B5 Horror on the Hill to replace the dripping caves because I feel the level advancement in chapter 1 is WAY too fast. I'd have to do that with every chapter to get the slowed level of advancement I'm talking about here. At that point, you're really not playing the published official campaign anymore, but this giant rewrite. [/QUOTE]
