Everyone had fun the whole time so both tried to convince me to keep running it after I recovered from it in feb & convince me to run a new one now that things are as they are. Depends on playstyle & gm style.  I find 0-5 & low to mid teens more suitable to in depth adventuring in a vibrant well built world.Yes but that's largely because of certain design decisions baked into 5e in a fruitless pursuit of bounded accuracy along with "feats are optional" & "magic items are optional"Most of my 5e campaigns went to 16 or so  & spend about half the game in 11-16 if not more.Some of us did</blockquote>
