Way back in 2007 Ryan Dancey put forward the idea that D&D has four distinct phases of play: gritty fantasy, heroic fantasy, as paragons, and superheroes. Another way of putting this would be looking at what the players save. From 1st to 5th they save the town, from 6th to 10th they save the city, from 11th to 15th they save the country, and from 16th to 20th they save the world.
Epic 6, commonly referred to as E6, is a game about the first two phases of play. Character progression from level 1 to level 6 is as per D&D, but upon attaining 6th level advancement changes. Each additional 5000 experience past 6th level gives the heroes an additional feat.
The rules for Epic 6 can be found at this website.
