Because of a greater number of players than seats per session and at least two PCs per player, the cast rotated around quite a bit which would seem to dilute the XP pool. However, it looks to be more or less on track with your projections. I don't have any hard numbers I can share on number of encounters or difficulty.Host of the High Chieftain, a rewrite of Red Hand of Doom, ran 16 sessions and the characters went from 6th to 9th level. So that one seems to be off from your projections. Here it was also a player pool, albeit a smaller one than The Delve plus in the latter quarter of the campaign all comers were welcome, and everyone had 2 PCs (only one active at a time). Standard XP rewards, but your backup characters got half the XP your active character got. I also can't share any hard numbers on number of encounters or difficulty. I wonder if the extended number of sessions had something to do with a fair amount of mooks being in encounters which didn't particular increase XP or difficulty much but did increase the time to resolve a scene. It's also possible that the characters were close to 10th level, but I didn't give XP for the last session because we finished the campaign. That may bring it closer in line.Summoning @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6801813" target="_blank">Valmarius</a>, @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6801219" target="_blank">Lanliss</a>, and @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6887087" target="_blank">mexicangringo</a> for comment if they are so inclined.In any case, it's an interesting analysis and thanks for posting it. I've shared it with some other DMs.</blockquote>
