[QUOTE="Treebore, post: 6042542, member: 10177"] I've done it almost every campaign. In fact one of my current campaigns is at level 9 and it looks like we will go to at least level 13. My other on going campaign, over 7 years old now, is at level 17 and 18. The last campaign prior to the level 9 one went to level 14. As for over the 28+ years I have been gaming, every campaign I have ran have gone to at least 12th, with my highest being 24th. Which is a large part of why I no longer play 3E, or 4E. The more pieces and parts you give a game at low levels, the greater its size, or weight, will become at higher and higher levels. When my 3E game got to 16th level I ended it because I could no longer handle DMing it, not because my players were ready to stop. So that is largely why I am back to RPG's with very few bells and whistles. They are much easier to run, as well as play. My 17th and 18th level game does not use Excel spreadsheets or other programs to "track" their characters. My 16th level 3E game did. The difference? Far fewer bells and whistles. Plus a whole lot more fun, for me and my players, because my brain doesn't feel like its going to have a melt down trying to track and account for all the bells and whistles. So I run games as long as my players want again, and I am happy to say they want me to run them for very long periods of time. At least 12th level, often higher. [/QUOTE]
