Hours of play from a module?

[darklight]

Our group seems to spend a lot of time, even on some of the shorter modules, perhaps because I (DM) have a problem with pacing.
I was wondering how many hours of play other groups out there generally get from some of the popular modules?

Just so I can compare your values, I would like to hear from people who have played any of the modules I have, which include:

Sunless Cicatel
Forge of Fury
Speaker in Dreams
Crucible of Freya
Tomb of Abysthor
Hall of the Rainbow Mage
What Evil Lurks
Vault of Larin Karr
Pit of Loch Durnan
3D2K
In the Belly of the Beast
Song of Storms
Of Sound Mind
Natures Fury
The Freeport Trilogy
Banewarrens
A green place to die
Succubus Bride

We playtested Of Sound Mind at 12-16 hours, I think.

 

[Mr Fidgit]

we did the first half of Speaker in Dreams in 5 or 6 hours (closer to 5, i think)...followed by a TPK. oopsie!

 

[Crothian]

Sunless Cicatel: About 20 hours
Forge of Fury: About 8 hours, I shortened the module though
Speaker in Dreams: About 14 hours

 

[Pielorinho]

I think we spent about 25 hours on Speaker in Dreams (which I significantly modified). By the end of it, eeveryone was thoroughly sick of the adventure.

I ran Of Sound Mind in about 7 hours, getting the PCs as far as the

Forge of Fury

It took the party I run approximately 12 hours (3.5 gaming sessions) to get through this module. I did not signifcantly modify the adventure beyond to remove the roper.

 

[darklight]

So, considering we usually end up with about 6 hour sessions, we should be able to complete "Of Sound Mind" pretty much in two sessions!? At the pace we have been going, I'm sure it would take us 4 sessions.

And Forge of Fury in 12 hours!?!? Hmmm...

Of the mentioned modules, we have only played "Crucible of Freya" (Including "Wizards Amulet") so far, and that took us 4 or 5 sessions! No wonder some of the players seem to get a little bored at times, I really have to work on pacing.

Well, thanks so far. I would love to hear from others as well.

Are they bored? If not. Why worry? If everyone is having fun and roleplaying don't bother keeping track of how long its taking.



If there's a lot of yawning and blank faraway stares then yeah, you should probably pick up the pace.

Both Sunless Citadel and Forge of Fury took somewhere between 12 and 16 hours for us.
