[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6864981, member: 22779"] I'll third this one right here. The math just doesn't really favour higher level games. Not the game math, but the "math of juggling real life". Presume 4 sessions/level (ya, the first couple are faster, but, the later ones are slower, so, it balances out). That's about 1 year of weekly play to get to level 10. Most people's lives aren't stable enough to commit to more than one year for campaigns. This has been true going all the way back to the WotC play survey in the 90's. I can't imagine it's changed since then. Add to that the fact that most groups start at level 1 and you get a de facto sweet spot because that's what most everyone plays. Most of the big ticket character options appear here. Pretty much any supplementary material focuses on these levels as well. I don't think it's a shock that the WotC AP modules have been either levels 1-15 or, with Curse of Strahd, 1-10. Anything longer than that is very difficult to ever play through for most groups.
