It's a lot of work, but its magic when it comes together. Cherish it when it does.

Playing in two groups currently. The first one exists since 2021, same four people. The second consists of another four people that have been playing together since 2020, but also one fresh player that joined for the current campaign (which started this year).
For the poll, I picked 3 to 5 years based on the first group.

P.S.: Sorry, I saw too late that you posted this in the D&D section. None of the groups is currently playing D&D. Pre-existing members of group 2 played D&D5 in the past, though (we wrapped up our campaign last year).

Yeah. I have a feeling @Hussar is correct in general, but that this particular forum might be the wrong place for a vote to show that. A lot of us here are long time DMs with long time groups.

My "main" group, the longest-serving members have been part of it since, what 1990? 1991? Thereabouts.

24 years, with some members coming and going, starting in 2000 with 3e, moving on to 3.5e and then 4e and then 4e Essentials and then 5e at the playtest. Would have been longer but we had a big break before that, but I played some 1e with some members of this group in the early 90s and late 80s.

11 years with 5e (started with early playtest).

Agreed. If I had to cycle through groups every 2-3 years, I wouldn't be posting here because I'd be out of the hobby. I've transitioned from "socializing so I can game" to "gaming so I can socialize". I still love to game, but I've definitely moved to a point in my life where I don't NEED to.

My current group started in 1992 although of the original members, there is only two of us. The other members joined as others left over the last 20 years.

Which group? I'm running a game for nephews (added a spouse and shockingly my sister). It hasn't been contiguous, but that would be going on 20 years. My current group is 5 years but that's because we moved, before I moved we'd been playing for longer than that. The third group is a little over a year.

I selected between 3 to 5 years. A friend of mine and I joined our current group about 3 years ago, but the group had been around for 2 more years before we joined. We were invited in by another friend of ours who was also the group's DM.
