Very interesting read. I'm currently running a game for a team of level 16/17 characters who have beaten Rise of Tiamat and are now in a "3 years later" follow up campaign I'm viewing in my head as a kind of epic level epilogue. I'm hoping to get them to level 20, play with the level 20 powers for a few sessions and then start a new campaign in a fully home brew world. I'm hitting some of the things you allude to here trying to make sure something satisfactory happens for each character before the inevitable ending.
