[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8137400, member: 59816"] I started to think about when was the last time we leveled up in this game, and I did a little back-tracking for research: We started at level 1 in late August of 2017 (!) Hit level 2 in November 2017. Level 3 in April 2018. Level 4 in December 2018 and finally level 5 in March 2020 (when you arrived in Omu). It's no wonder that it feels so long since you hit level 5 - it's been the pandemic months. It feels (to me at least) like this year has been one of the longest of my life. Also, I clearly left you a very long time at level 4. I like level 4. It's a good level. I'm not actually a huge fan of the game at high levels (in PBP I found it started to get pretty complicated even at level 8, which was the highest I've played in PBP). So I'm reluctant to do level-ups too quickly. Also, all we've done since arriving in Omu is two encounters. So probably not yet, but I'm starting to think about it. Level 6 soonish, I think. I also remember that at the beginning of the game, I promised to do quick level-ups, but then, I also never intended to run Tomb of Annihilation here. I was just going to run the Adventurer's League material, but that stuff didn't do anything at all to solve the Death Curse, and having heard of the plot of the adventure, everyone made characters who would be interested in that plot (good on you) so I felt I had to do right by the characters and switch to the "real" adventure. Of course, now that puts us 3 years in, and no end in sight. As long as you all keep enjoying yourselves, I'll keep running it. [/QUOTE]
