[QUOTE="ladyofdragons, post: 316566, member: 5718"] The current campaign my husband DMs will have been running for 6 years as of this September. (we met at the first adventure in this campaign, fyi). This campaign runs off-and-on, we will run it about 7-8 months out of the year, with two 2 months or so breaks where we run other campaigns with other GMs to give him a break and recharge. We play every other friday night, from about 7pm to 12am. We actually just finished a round this past friday, and will be taking a break for the next few months. 6 years may seem like a long time. it is. One of the reasons we can go so long is because my husband has this thing about not giving large experience point awards. Our first session I got 35 XP. After nearly 6 years, my character is now 11th level (fighter 5/mage 5/blade knight 1), and is the highest level member of the party (I am also the only one left who has been in the party since the first adventure). After being used to getting book value, it was amazing to me to get so little. He's gotten better, but it is definitely slow going. There is a method to the madness, however. Our group is very roleplay intensive, and the long stretch between levels gives us a great time to develop our characters without being too powerful. [/QUOTE]
