[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 9250559, member: 7030563"] About half of those are characters are played in campaigns. I am playing in 6 campaigns right now, 3 weekly and 3 on an infrequent basis and play in one shots on the weekend. I average about 25-30 hours of D&D a week, so about half that, 4000 hours or so, give or take. No character is played any longer than 80 hours, because that is longer than most campaigns will take to complete. An average campaign does not last anywhere near 80 hours in my groups, only the longest 1-20 campaigns even approach that. An average campaign lasts anywhere from 5-15 weeks in 3-4 hour sessions in my main playing groups. We played SODQ begining to end in 7 4-hour sessions. We played 3 level 1-20 campaigns (Doomed Forgotten Realms, Shattered Stars, Moonshae Adventures), begining to end. DFR lasted about 80 hours, the other two were less than that. Most of the campaigns I played are level 1 to level 10-15 and do not last anywhere close to 80 hours. Right now in the 3 weekly campaigss I am playing: Campaign 1, Grim Hollow Lairs of Etharius: 4 hour sessions, just finished session 3, currently level 7. Campaign 2, Dungeons of Dragonhiem: 4 hour sessions, just finished session 2, currently level 4. Campaign 3, City of Brass Homebrew campaign: 3 hour sessions, just finished session 4, current level 4 Based on current speed of leveling the first campaign will take under 40 hours to get to level 20 (which will be admittedly faster than any of the other level 1-20 games I have played). The second campaign will take about 30 hours to get to level 13. The final campaign will take 60 hours to get to level 20. Now in the end it will probably take a bit longer than these numbers show as you start leveling slower at higher levels, but all of these campaigns will be complete in well under 80 hours of play time and most of them won't even come close to that. That is clearly different from both the campaigns I have played and those I have watched. I also think it is different from how the majority of campaigns are played. [/QUOTE]
