D&D 5E How long is your average session?

[Venley]

About 10 weekends a year. 12 hours Saturday, 8 on Sunday. Sometimes longer, sometimes about 3-5 hours on Friday also. Food, etc. breaks of course.
It usually takes till Tuesday for my brain and voice to recover from GMing but it's worth it.

Our first session was 12 hours and I loved it. A month later we did 2 hours. Then our DM got bored and we went a whole year without playing. Finally started back up again and played for 4 hours, DM got bored and decided he wanted to play instead so I took over, now we do 4 hours fortnightly. I've been trying to get them to do longer sessions but everyone says 4 hours is the most they can handle. I find running the game far more demanding than playing it and I'm happy to go all day

8 hours, one Saturday a month.

That's for the game I DM with my adult friends.

For the kids, about 2-3 hours.

My Sunday game is 4 hours or so but my other games are 3 hours tops. I do play ca 5 days/week though.

6 hours on average (sundays 12-18)

sometimes we play during the week for ~4 hours.
sometimes we marathon on holidays (NYE, easter etc.) where a session can go for as long as 12 or more hours.

3+ hours every Thursday night, 4 hours every month or so on Skype, and a whole weekend around the table every 2-3 months!

I run two games currently, one which is once a week on Thursday evenings and goes reliably from 7pm until 10pm.

The other is once a month with old friends from the area I moved from for work, and we run from 12noon on the Saturday to anything from 12pm that day to 3am on the Sunday morning!

I very much enjoy both...

Our Group usually plays 5 to 6 hours once per a week. Gone are the days of sitting in a conference room in Okinawa playing from friday night to sunday morning, smoking cigarettes and drinking beer and playing though such notable modules like ToEE, WPM, Ravenloft ect ect.

I miss drinking beer and smoking cigarettes, being old but healthy sucks lol.

The games I DM at home tend to be longer than the games I play at the local hobby shop. I've had games at home run 9 hours but the average around 4-1/2 hours. The games at the local hobby shop are typically schedule for 3 hours and usually stick to that.
