The word "epic" means a few things, and I agree that a Fantasy Craft campaign at any level can be epic, given the right GM and group.  In this context, though, what I would like to see is some sort of option that allows us to continue playing our beloved characters after level 20 in a way that allows them to continue growing and changing.  I understand and agree that continuing the class tables just increases the numbers to no good end, but I would like a way to continue gaining feats, class abilities, skills--more options, if you like.  Perhaps a purchase system that uses XP after level 20 to directly purchase feats, ability increases, skill increases, and even class abilities for some increasing cost could work? 

I've played some campaigns that were just too good to end at level 20 and expect to play more in the future.  My pipe dream is the ability for some kind of open-ended progression that allows us to continue playing with growing and changing characters as long as we want...

This is an attitude that I've come across frequently.  Many groups just don't like the idea of a "hard" level cap.

You run out of levels in a class, you enter a new class, simple enough. The career-level based benefits table is easily extendable.

I have to agree with this line of thinking, there is also a bit of "truth" to it, there comes a point of diminishing returns with skill vs time doing said skill.  I see it at work the guy that has been doing it for 20 years is not necessarily any better then the guy that has been doing it for say 15 or even 10 years.
So branching out into new fields makes sense especially when you have expert and master classes to chew threw.
