[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 9038143, member: 86653"] Comparing yourself (and your group) to anything you read online or from social media is a great way to feel incredibly bad about whatever it is you're doing. Ignore social media. Do whatever works for you and yours. As long as you're all having fun, it doesn't matter what other people are doing. Yeah, those first two will kill your progress dead. The third is a great time saver. Some players in my main D&D group was talking about cutting down the session length to 2-3 hours once a month. The rest of the players basically felt there was no point trying to play that little that infrequently. Better to get together as friends and go see a movie or play cards or something else instead. We started Dragon Heist at 1st level in January 2019, hit 2nd level around April, 3rd level around June, 4th level around August, and 5th level around September. We played once a month for 5-6 hours a session. Dragon Heist is a 224-page module that takes the PCs from 1st to 5th. We did all the things. Combat, investigation, chases, roleplaying with each other, roleplaying with NPCs, faction play, setting up a bar, etc. Given that most of us have been playing together for almost 40 years and are mostly family, there's also a lot of catching up, complaining, and general hanging out when we play together. Some of the players love to dig into scenes and roleplay everything, other players also insist on planning things out in excruciating detail. So once a month for a year and going from 1st to 5th was on par for us, but likely molasses slow for others...or Ludicrous Speed for you and yours. The group is eight people, one referee and seven players. [/QUOTE]
