That group has two primary DMs. One DM prefers to run either Mutants and Masterminds 2e or Star Wars Saga Edition games. He runs short-ish campaigns, usually around 16 sessions or so.  The other DM runs mostly Type 3 D&D, but makes occasional forays into other systems, such as Streetfighter, Deadlands, and so on. He intends to run longer campaigns, but that often does not work out. I have thus far refrained for running for this group for the last few years. Whichever DM feels like running on a particular day lets us all know on Monday what we'll be playing.I play in another group that meets every other Saturday, with sessions running from noon to midnight. Of the eight players in that group, about six of us consistently run games. Most games are Type 3 D&D, with occasional forays into lots of other systems - including Mutants and Masterminds 2e, GURPS 4e, RIFTS, Star Wars Saga Edition, Old World of Darkness Games, Dark Conspiracy, Shadowrun 3, and so on. Campaign lengths and rates of success vary. Since the sessions are so long, we determine the DM and game in a (more or less) round robin style. Usually the decision for what to run one session happens at the end of the previous session.In the final group, which alternates Saturdays with the previous group.  Sessions run from about 1 pm to 5 pm. There are three of us who DM pretty consistently. Any two of us usually have an ongoing campaign in progress, and we alternate one game to the next from session to session. Games vary widely, from All Flesh Must be Eaten to XCrawl, Star Wars Saga Edition, RIFTS, GURPS, Pathfinder, Type 1 or 2 D&D, and so on.</blockquote>
