What is E6?

Earlier this year a fellow named Ryan Dancey suggested that d20 has four distinct quartiles of play:

Levels 1-5: Gritty fantasy
Levels 6-10: Heroic fantasy
Levels 11-15: Wuxia
Levels 16-20: Superheroes

There’s been some great discussion at EN World and elsewhere about how to define those quartiles, and how each group eventually finds the quartiles that suit them best.



My Eberron Campaign is slated to end around levels 14 to 16. I guess that's just on the fringe of when "superheroic fantasy" kicks in. Never really thought much about specific powerbands in 3.5 D&D, just knew that around level 16 it started to breakdown.

Isn't everybody a member of EnWorld? What the hell has this place come too!?

Just became a member...E6 looks interesting...I like the idea.
However, I'm more inclined to try Fourth Ed. first.

I dunno why you're double posting, but I'll probably resort to beating you to death if you don't quit.

As for 4e, if we don't get our Eberron game rolling again soon, I'll be mighty tempted to just fire another game up using 4e.
