I was contemplating the direction I am taking my current campaign, where I am planning for it to spand about 30-50 years in-game time, and I hope will document the lives and journeys/goals of each of the PCs. However, I have been having some trouble trying to work this out due to XP, because things will instantly stop/max-out at level 20. Sure you can go into Epic Level, but due to the very quick XP gaining system not much time will pass in-game.


If not, do any of you know any other ways to get around this little complication for a game/campaign like this?
