Comments on: Legend of Zelda Adventure System: Levels, and Adventurers http://www.paperspencils.com/2012/09/19/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-levels-and-adventurers/ A blog about Pathfinder, or any other tabletop RPG which strikes my fancy Mon, 20 May 2013 01:40:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: LS http://www.paperspencils.com/2012/09/19/legend-of-zelda-adventure-system-levels-and-adventurers/#comment-37398 LS Fri, 21 Sep 2012 19:14:39 +0000 http://www.paperspencils.com/?p=2730#comment-37398 That’s my problem. The highest level character I’ve ever had is level 14 I think. And that GM has been fast-tracking me through the game, just because we both want to experience high level play for a change of pace.

My experience with MMOs is limited, but if they originated the concept, then it’s a genius move on their part.

Or maybe one of the earlier games like Everquest? My knowledge here is shaky. I have been quite struck by how many MMORPG players consider attaining level 80 (or whatever the current cap is) to be the start of the real game, not the end. I don’t mean this as a criticism; I think it’s a very interesting pedagogical system.

It’s relatively new to me, as someone who has never actually attained even close to the highest level in any tabletop RPG through actual play.
