Another Time Perhaps

You mean D&D characters should gain 15 pounds when they level up?

Well... Only if they're going to keggers and going through find-a-roommate hell.

In our monthly Savage Tide Game we are 18 months in and starting 9th level next session.

You can, of course, tweak to taste. Plug in numbers that work for you. x2, x5, x10.

But plug in the wrong numbers and you sacrafice balance for realism

Everyone gets wiped out at level 6 - 8 and we have to start the campaign over. It has happened 2 times and almost happened a third time last game session. Everyone was level 6-7 and a bunch of folks failed their WILL and FORT saves vs. two sea hags and their death gaze.

But if I had to extrapolate, it would probably be a little over a game year that the party would typically reach 10+ (if they only stopped dying).

But plug in the wrong ...

Everyone gets wiped...

i'm failing my will save too often.

We use training time and 1/2 xp, so I chose 2-3 years in game and probably closer to 2 years to level 10. 10-20 however takes about 3 times as long.

For me it seems to be about 6-12 months unless I deliberatly put in significant amounts of downtime (and I do). Usually between each module I choose a number of seasons that pass if the players aren't itching to put paid to some villian.
