[QUOTE="jbear, post: 6707845, member: 75065"] We play probably 3 times per month; sometimes more, sometimes less depending on the time of year. Each session probably lasts 3 to 4 hours. We began our current campaign (Hoard of the Dragon Queen) in January and the group is currently at level 4. They have been at level 4 for ages as they were hooked by the 'Murder in Baldur's Gate' sidetrek adventure I threw at them because I wanted to bring the city to life while they waited for the Cult's carvans to arrive. (So ... appx. 1 level per 2 months, maybe a tiny bit more). I decided to not track xp during this time in Baldur's Gate, as it would have levelled them up way past where they needed to be level-wise for the rest of Hoard of the Dragon Queen to remain challenging without me having to do too much adjusting. That being said, I decided to make their adventures there be a way that they encountered certain magical items instead, and when they complete the adventure I will level them to 5th level, giving them 1 level advantage above the expected level of the stage where they are at for the rest of Hoard of the Dragon Queen, which I think should be fine. They have reached a stage in Murder in Baldur's Gate where there remains but 2 climactic events and the grand bloodsoaked finale left to happen, which will coincide with the Cult carvan's arrival in the city. So 5th level is just around the corner (if they manage to survive...). [/QUOTE]
