adventure progress per session?

[Davelozzi]

I'll be starting my first 3e campaign in a few weeks and I'll be running some published modules (probably Sunless Citadel, Of Sound Mind and Forge of Fury) and I was wondering how many sessions it generally takes to get through the average length module. I've already read through each adventure once or twice each but would like to get a sense of how far the party is likely to make it so that I can study that section more thoroughly and to make sure that I have all the necessary miniatures ready to use.
We'll probably be playing for 5-6 hours per session.

if your players dont like to explore- it may take 3 sessions per module.

If they do, it may take a whyile longer- depending on how they play...

It took one of the groups I play with about 4 or 5 sessions to tackle the Sunless Citadel. That would be about 20 hours total.

Other modules are less intensive. I ran Death in Freeport in a single 4-hour session, and it went very well. So your mileage truly would vary. Dungeon crawls will always take longer per page, I think.

IIRC, it took about 3 sessions to tackle each of the following adventures:

"The Ghost Machine" from "To Stand on Hallowed Ground"

"The Sorcerer's Citadel" from "Demons & Devils"

Which I found a little slow, myself. We have 4-5 hour sessions.

Thanks, guys.
