[QUOTE="Oryan77, post: 5367133, member: 18701"] Geez, with the responses so far, I'm surprised my players haven't revolted yet. I'm also surprised past players didn't quit the game sooner before other incidents caused us to part ways. :confused: This topic is a reason why I started the other thread about leveling. I wanted to compare how I do things with how other DMs handle it. If the general opinion is that you should level every other session or at least once a month, I'm really surprised. In our game, the PCs are around 9th-12th level. We play almost every 2 weeks, and we get about 6 hours of real gaming in each time. My wife started her PC 5 years ago at level 3, and she is close to level 13. I figured, at our rate, by these mid levels they should level maybe every 4 or 5 months (so that would be about every 10 (six hour) sessions. The strange thing is that seems "right" to me. :uhoh: I try to run a more character focused roleplaying game world where the players get involved in their PCs life.
