Has anyone continued the SCAP past the final encounter? If so what did you do.

I actually have plans to do this, but in a different way than you're thinking. After we complete the campaign, I plan on each player writing a brief epilogue on what their characters do after saving the world (assuming they do that, anyways!). Afterwards, each player will keep their character sheets.
Then, later down the road, when we've played through the AoW path and we reach the last, epic battle with Kyuss, I'll allow the players to bring in their 20th-21st level characters from the SCAP to use as allies against the demigod. I remember reading the last adventure for the AoW and it states that the PCs will need allies, so I figure they're old characters will be fun!

A very unique idea.

Dude,
Ack! AoW spoilers in the SCAP boards? Our group finished SCAP, and I was reading through other's experiences. We are getting ready to start AoW this weekend, and you drop this bomb - the spoiler for the climax of the entire campaign!
AoW stuff in AoW boards please, I don't want to know what happens since I am a player.

Are you kidding me? You're surprised the last fight of the campaign is against Kyuss? Well then whatever you do, DON'T look at the cover of the magazine, it's got a *gasp* picture of Kyuss! And you can see what weapon he's using!!!

And also! You're reading campaign message boards for advice for DM's...of course we're going to be discussing spoilers! This is the "Dungeon" magazine message boards afterall.

Me, too, though it'll be awhile before my players get there--they are still exploring Jzadirune.

I'm not even close to getting there yet (my players are currently in Zenith's Trajectory), but I have begun gently foreshadowing two main plotlines that will take the characters into epic levels.
1) I'll use the Incursion writeup from Dragon and Lich Queen's module from Dungeon 100 (scaled up) to play out a gith invasion that the characters must stop.
2) My campaign is running in Greyhawk and I've inserted Vecna as the key demigod who's been puppeteering the Shackled City events. Ultimately, the characters will have a showdown with Vecna using ideas from the "Vecna Lives!" and "Die, Vecna, Die!" adventures.
3) Just for fun, I've also tossed in Baba Yaga encounters (she's masquerading as Celeste) here and there, and the players will occasionally need to ask her for help and perform quests for her.
Hurm.
I've been toying with the idea of letting the players go to 21st level in this campaign, giving them a bit more of a chance against Big A in the end. Now I've never done anything past 15th level before, so are you considered "epic" when you hit 20th level or 21st level? Would it make that much of a difference if the party was 21st instead of 20 when they fight Adimarchus?
I've never done epic, but my understanding is that epic is from 21st level. However, I don't think there's too much difference in the power of characters from 20th to 21st.
