I've never played in a 3.x game that's gotten to really high levels, but after reading the threads on Ryan Stoughton's E6 and some articles by The Alexandrian (especially <a href="http://www.thealexandrian.net/creations/misc/d&d-calibrating.html" target="_blank">this one</a>), I think what high level Pathfinder needs in order to develop a larger fan base for epic level play (past 20th level) is a compelling set of Pathfinder fiction stories that really describe Epic Level Play post 20th level in an entertaining way.  I think that the Alexandrian's point is that most of us aren't familiar with heroes that really exceed 5th level in Pathfinder terms, let alone 20th.  I know I'm not and I've played the World's Most Popular Role-Playing Game since about 1984 (in one incarnation or another).So, James or Jason (or anyone else at Paizo that may work on an Epic Level book), I think what many of us need are stories that showcase post 20th level play to give us a picture of what 20th level plus characters are like as well as what types of quests they undertake.  And, I think there might be a spot for such stories in the Pathfinder Tales line.  Kinda how the Dragonlance Chronicles went right along with the DL AD&D modules.That said, though, I'm perfectly happy without a post 20th level book, right now, and I'm really looking forward to Ultimate Magic and its martial counterpart.  The Magus playtest really inspired me to look further into Pathfinder.  Can't wait to see the final version of the Magus.</blockquote>
