[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 7579631, member: 467"] When I run games at conventions, I do so in an ongoing, mini-campaign format. For example, the last time I did so with 5E I ran "Return to the Isle of Dread" (well before Goodman's reprint). We played 6 sessions or 24 hours over the course of the con (as much as some groups might get in over months of playing, depending on how often they meet). There was much fun and adventure and exploration and danger and combat and not a drop of level advancement. The game looked at the end like it did at the beginning. I know that no leveling is a hard sell for D&D, given that leveling up and getting more toys is part of the charm, so the idea of eliminating hit point inflation (like, entirely) is my compromise between standard play and my preferred no leveling or leveling once every few months of playing (and at the end of some significant portion of the game). From 5th to 10th as you suggest would be, for me if given my druthers, a few years of play. [/QUOTE]
