When I was younger, I can easily break it down by school, etc.:middle school 2-3 yearshigh school 4 years + community college 2 years, say 5 yearsundergraduate 2 yearsgraduate 5 yearspost-graduate 5 yearsSure, we'd take occasional breaks for other D&D games or other RPGs, but 75% of the time or so it was always the current campaign. Within all those we did have short-term OSG as well that ended, TPKed, or whatever as well. So, it isn't always "long time" certainly, but my experience does not coincide with your statement.To be clear, I am not saying you didn't have your own experiences or have heard such things from others, but I don't think it is fair to to make any claim about "the vast majority", that's all.IME playing weekly in AD&D we often reached 8-9th level in a year, but usually at least 6th at a bare minimum. 2-3 levels per year sounds about right, too.This was pretty rare, I agree. Even 6-8 sessions for the early levels was a stretch IMO, but I know groups did (and still do) vary a lot, so depending on how leveling was handled, etc. the number of sessions can range quite a bit.</blockquote>
