Most are about seventh. There are two duel class players. One is a 6th level fighter/ninth level mage. She absolutely loves her .454 casull. As she is not human she is quite dainty yet possesses an 18 strength.

In my games "D&D world" is vast and disc shaped. (I started playing in '76 but as I liked Pratchett's work I didn't try to sue) Disc shaped because I wanted an edge of the world to fall off of. The Norhern hemisphere alone is 200 Earth surfaces. I wanted vast wildernesses and huge civilizations. There are twelve moons and 17 other planets.

I was later justified when the spell jammer rules came out and all bodies in D&D space have one gee of gravity when outside the radius of a larger body who's gravity then dominates. So a ship leaving a planet pulls a bubble of air with them, like water spiders.

Plus solar systems are in nie indestructable crystal spheres filled with the ether and surrounded on the outside by the highly flammable phloegeston. As a matter of fact nova are the product of somehow cracking the crystal sphere and allowing phloegeston to rush in and ignite on the primary.

Now "D&D world" itself is just full of random dimensional portal activity. And not all arrivals happen in the present so there is a lot of "speciation" of different races and animals. Think there is just one kind of griffon?

Also larger, more powerful human nations....oops my gaming group just arrived I'll talk more later.
