Your players are not going to want to dungeon crawl session after session with the same level 1-3 characters. Let them level up fairly fast to level 5-6, and then maybe do one shot adventures for 1st level characters when a few players are missing. Just because you have a dungeon/adventure in mind that you want to run, doesn't mean you should.At the moment, I have enough basic ideas to take my level 10 group to level 30, an idea for a campaign with PCs as dragons, enough ideas to complete my PBP campaign to at least early paragon (they are fixing to hit 2nd level) and multiple ideas to take characters from level 1-4. On top of that, each time we play a session, I get new ideas.Basically, you are never going to run out of ideas for campaigns, but you sure will run out of time. Pick and choose your best ideas for a great campaign based on what your players are enjoying.For instance, I have had one group of players that will go through about 2 encounters per session and get bored and think their is too much combat. However, the same group, I have turned the characters against each other, taken all their stuff, ruined their characters, and they all sent me text messages the next day saying those were the best sessions ever.On the other hand, I have a group that if their isn't four combats a session, they will all fall asleep and they don't give a crap who they are fighting. Not everyone is going to want the same type of campaign, so make sure you go with what the players and you can both agree on. If you want 10 sessions per level, and they want 2 sessions per level, meet in the middle at 4-6 per level. I think I've rambled enough, lol. Good luck and post some of your ideas sometime! I'm always looking to steal stuff!</blockquote>
