D&D General How many hours of D&D would you say you have played in your entire life?

[Greg K]

No clue.

As with World of Warcraft, that's not a scab I intend to pick at.

 

[Lidgar]

More hours than doing the laundry?

Likely 25 pounds worth of sitting around. That's what 11 kilos to you non traditionalists.

If we restrict it to actual play time (i.e. no prep, reading, forums/social media), it's probably around 1500-2000 hours.

Hiya!

I worked it out a few years ago...so this number is low now.

The number I got was around.... 22,800.

That doesn't include the last 5 years or so, which was ALL over the map; some weeks it was 20 hours, other's 0. ROUGH guess...maybe another 1,700 or so. I have REALLY slowed down in the last 5 years...age, health, family, life in general for everyone involved, etc. Back in my heyday when we were all 15? Hitting 700 to 1,000 hours was a good summer vacation (with time left to go on those dreaded "family camping trips"...ok...they weren't dreaded...they were pretty awesome...but I live in the Yukon, so, yeah... ).

EDIT: I'm talking about play time only. Adding in "prep, reading, drawing, etc" (re: doing all that "extra hobby stuff for fun")? OMG...don't even want to think about it! Twice that, easy!

An embarrassing amount. That’s how much.

Around four or five thousand hours. Several times that if you count time spent reading books, preparing campaigns, and designing games.

Hard to say played a lot longer sessions and more of them while younger.

Throw in missing sessions as well and the occasional break.

I would guesstimate an average of 4 hour sessions (More like 8 when younger) for 40 weeks a year as missing sessions +breaks.

160 hoursX27 years is 4320.

Maybe I really don't know.

 

[Steampunkette]

Not nearly enough!

^This.

Been playing ttrpgs since the late 80s early 90s. Still want more.
