[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 4501368, member: 463"] I'm usually running 2 games/month, occasional breaks so around 20-22 sessions/year. Usually around 4 hours. PCs level up probably 3-4 sessions on average. Since 2000, my first major 3e campaign ran from 4th to 9th level in about a year, my second from 6th to to around 18th over several years, but the last 8 levels were not so much fun, my third (Lost City of Barakus) from 1st to around 9th again with half XP, took nearly 2 years. My current 3e campaign started in July, with 6 sessions so far one PC is 3rd level (only player to attend every session), most of the others are well into 2nd level. I plan to run this campaign to ca July/August next year and the PCs should be around 8th-9th level. Basically, I like my 3e games in the 1st-9th level range; my experience of high level 3e wasn't great. I may try taking a game to ca 12th but I'd be reluctant to go much beyond that. I think 1st-9th over around 24 4-5 hour sessions sessions (levelling every 3) is probably about right as a maximum, slower with dead PCs and players missing sessions. Edit: New PCs come in 2 levels below the highest level PC. Replacements for dead PCs carry over half the dead PC's XP, or start 2 levels below highest PC, whichever is better. [/QUOTE]
