Sessions are roughly 3 hours. Between Dolmenwood, Daggerheart, Mork Borg, Sickest Witch, and Monster of the Week probably about 30 sessions.

I have a weekly online game on Mondays. I was running Blades in the Dark, but recently we transitioned to another member of our group running Masks of Nyarlathotep. That’s 3 hours a week.

I have another online game that takes place weekly and we rotate games fairly often, all have been non-D&D. That’s another 3 hours a week.

Every other week, I host a face to face game at my house. We’re currently playing Teeth: False Kingdom, which followed a very long Stonetop campaign. Next up is DIE. These sessions typically go about 4 to 5 hours.

So, about 17 hours every two weeks. Definitely in the 60+ hours category.
 



We have not played D&D or Pathfinder for over a decade, maybe over 2 decades.

We play 2 to 3 games a week, in person for 4 hours each. Every week. About 3 to 5 players per game.

Games (I list systems, since we play multiple games)
  • Cortex
  • PBTA
  • Cypher
  • FitD
  • Random oddball (Dread, L5R, 10 Candles, etc etc)

I want to run Pendragon next...

(We tried Daggerheart - yuck!, and Draw Steel - fun! but neither of those are coming back to our group)
 

I've played a bunch of stuff that is D&D-adjacent enough that I wouldn't count it as a different game.

I've played about 30 hours of The Expanse RPG and Fantasy AGE, which are definitely their own thing.
 

Session 0 of our current Pathfinder 2e campaign was on January 12th and we played session 25 last week at 3 hours a week. Beyond that, we had a few Shadowdark games and a Call of Cthulhu game that was 5ish hours so probably around 80 hours this year? We might have played a game or two of Starfinder 2e, I forget if that was this year or late last year.

It would have been more, but we've had more sessions cancelled this year. I think at one point we didn't play for 4 weeks in June because of vacations and medical issues.
 

I rejoined my face to face group late summer which is doing a Cypher game, three hours(?) of actual gaming every two weeks but enough cancellations that it has only been like four games.

My online weekly game in a homebrew system has been canceled a ridiculous number of times. We rescheduled what night we meet to work with others schedules better but so far still few and far between games. When we meet it is usually about two hours of actual gaming. I would have to go through the sum up your game session in five words thread to get exact numbers of times we did play.

I am guessing 30-40 hour range so far this year.

This year and last year were rough on my gaming, due to both health issues and conflicts. Normally it was a lot more regular for me over the past two decades, and now that I am past the big part of my recent health issues I am hopeful it will get back to more regular gaming again. My groups are usually a mix of D&D (I only DM D&D) and others, mainly Vampire but also Shadowrun, D20 modern, Kids on Bikes, homebrews, and others over the last decade. Since most things are usually big long campaigns I can easily go a whole year of gaming doing all D&D or all non-D&D.
