Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mercurius" data-source="post: 4350939" data-attributes="member: 59082">I just moved back to the area I went to high school (after 16 years) and I am trying to convince an old fellow gamer to play in a 4E I would run, but we're both very busy (kids, work, marriage, etc) and the very most I could play would be once every two weeks, while he said "at most once a month," with a dubious-but-wistful tone to his voice.So I'm thinking of two options (other than just not doing it): 1) Play once a month for a long session, 6-8 hours.2) Play twice a month for a shorter session, 4-5 hours.Now unless I can convince him otherwise--not to mention that another old gamer friend might be able to make an hour and a half commute once a month, but probably not twice--its going to be once a month or not at all. But I've never played that way. I've always done weekly, twice-monthly, or every couple months, but for an entire weekend (thus a complete adventure in one extended weekend session).Does anyone play once a month? Does it work? How can I make it work and keep campaign continuity and some kind of overarching plot? Or should I not bother and just run short adventures that could be wrapped up in six or seven hours? Anything to keep in mind, advice, etc?</blockquote>
