[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 3334429, member: 7737"] Someone (sorry, too lazy to quote) asked how long people expect the campaign to last in real time, given that this ties into XP advancement and the quartiles of the the game. Well, different groups expect different things; and different people within the group expect different things. Some groups are tired of a campaign after 6 months. Other groups stay in the same campaign for years (cf. Sagiro's or Piratecat's games). Some players switch characters as often as possible. Some players lovingly craft their character over months or years of real-time (or they just keep playing essentially the same character in every campaign). Some players move back-and-forth along this continuum, either as they grow and want different things from the game, or even within the same campaign as they want different things at that moment. I think D&D's ability to cater to a lot of different styles of play is one of the keys to its success. I hesitate to use the phrase "all things to all people", because that's often a derogatory comment about something, but D&D does have that element to it. [/QUOTE]
