[QUOTE="VectorSigma, post: 4503738, member: 64349"] I'm glad the OP asked, because I don't think I've ever really sat down and thought about it. Most Recent Campaign (BESMd20): Three years, five players, playing on average 6ish hours every other week. (Married, child in the house) The characters topped out around 18th-19th level. The One Before That: (AD&D 2e): Two years, six players, playing on average 8ish hours every week. (Single, right out of college) The characters topped out around 13th or 14th level. The One I Played In, Didn't DM: (AD&D 2e): One & a half years, four players, playing on average 8ish hours a week. (Single, during college) I think the characters made it to 9th-ish level. And Before That: (AD&D 1e, transitioning to 2e midstream): Five years, five players (with various "sixth man" players on occasion), playing on average 8ish hours every week, not counting marathon-type stuff. (This is the starting-in-high-school game, hence the marathons) The one character from the original group who was still around at the end was beyond 20th level. And simultaneous with the beginning of the previously listed game (I'm a player, not the DM): (AD&D 1e): off and on for maybe two years? This is a looong time ago... The interesting thing for me in looking back at this kind of stuff is that it tells me a lot more about how I pace my games (xp-wise, etc) than it does anything else. [/QUOTE]
