[QUOTE="GrimCo, post: 9245580, member: 7044462"] For more complex systems, it helps if both players and DM have at least decent if not better level of system mastery and know how to run their characters mechanically well. It speeds up things and helps game run smooth when you don't waste time to check every few minutes how some rule or character mechanic works. Also, it depends on the play style of the party, campaign style etc. From personal experience from two different groups, setting up longer sessions is easier if players are single, without kids or have older kids. Those people are usually more flexible and can start earlier (like 6-7, depending when they finish with work). We played PF1, started every Thursday at 18:30 and played mostly till 23, but some sessions finished even past 01:00. Setting up games for people with very young/young kids, you are lucky if you manage to play week after week consistently. Usually no games starts before 20:30, more often around 21. By 23 most of them are slowly starting to be a bit sleepy. Around midnight, almost everybody is yawning and concentration is non existent. That's why we used midnight as hard cut off. No matter where we are in session, by 0:00 DM is shooting down meet (we use google meet). [/QUOTE]
