[QUOTE="Dragonblade, post: 3469582, member: 2804"] So, I made this post over in the huge thread bitching about the end of Dragon and Dungeon. But I didn't want my response to get lost over there so I'm making a new thread since this is a different debate. I asked if Paizo could please take the Adventure Path to 20th level. And they were kind enough to respond to me: Thanks for the reply. Thats good enough for me. :) So now my rant, and this is not directed at Paizo. But it is directed at the D&D community. It is so frustrating that people would complain about high level adventures. Personally, I'm sick and tired of low level adventures. I have been playing D&D for 20 years and I have played in literally dozens of campaigns that always started at level 1 and ended somewhere between 10 and 15. I have done or experienced every single low level adventure plot/combat/character that can possibly be done. I want to explore an area of D&D that often gets neglected. I can understand why a lot of DMs don't like to run high level games if they have to do all the work because it is a lot of work. But in this case, Paizo is providing all the material. All a DM has to do is read and run it. And its an Adventure Path so they don't even have to try to shoehorn it into an existing game. They are already running the campaign! So WTF is the problem, people?!! I just don't get why people would complain. If YOU don't like to play at high level, then don't play at high level. But to complain that it shouldn't be offered at all seems to be the heighth of selfish arrogance. After 20 years, I have seen everything in this hobby. From Lorraine Williams tenure, through the TSR crash, the Hasbro sale of WotC, 3.5 edition, etc. I will even weather the departure of my beloved Dragon and Dungeon. But after 20 years, I can just no longer play games that start at level 1. I suffer through it now, because I know that the Adventure Path will take me to the high level play experience that I have not gotten enough of. But now even that might be taken from me if Paizo gives in to a request that I just don't understand. If that happens, then I give up. I have nothing more to look forward to anymore. [/QUOTE]
