[QUOTE="Lylandra, post: 7100681, member: 6816692"] It totally depends on the campaign. And on your stamina as a DM. For example, a really good, character-heavy AP like campaign lasts as long as there is story to be told. Our current two AP based campaigns are already at 30 and 12 sessions and we're not really done yet. Epic stories like these need a good ending. We also had a more episodic long-term Planescape campaign where we switched DMs from time to time. Again, as this was our first camapign we played together we wanted to explore everything, starting at level 3 and playing all the way up to 38 over years. We went from fetching materials for a shoppe in Sigil to cosmic relationships (up to the point where no one but me wanted to DM because I was the only one who'd happily juggle the schemes of Iyactu Xvim, the Princes of Shade, Jergal and our party on a political level. It was crazy, but also a lot of fun). Other campaigns were far more brief, though. [/QUOTE]
