[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 7627292, member: 463"] I tend to track my #sessions and run longer campaigns, a couple years is typical. Some recent campaigns: [URL="http://frloudwater.blogspot.com/"]Loudwater[/URL] (4e) 2011-2016, 5.5 years, 103 sessions, levels 1-29 & reached 30 at end. Follow on 5e Princes of the Apocalypse campaign runs monthly and plan to go 36 sessions over 3 years, 2019-2021, with fast advancement level 1-20. [URL="https://simonsprimevalthule.blogspot.com/"]Primeval Thule[/URL] I have run 27 sessions so far since January 2019, plan to run around 60 sessions over 12 months or so, level 1-20 at 2-3 sessions/level. [URL="http://smonscurseofthecrimsonthrone.blogspot.com/"]Varisia - Runelords of the Shattered Star[/URL] 5e D&D, so far 83 sessions since November 2015, but took a break in 2018 and switched from tabletop to online. Most of the PCs are now 20th level. Followed on from Curse of the Crimson Throne PF, 34 sessions Jan 2014-Oct 2015. [URL="http://nentirvalecampaign.blogspot.com/"]Nentir Vale 4e campaign[/URL] 26 sessions 2017-18, level 1-6. [URL="http://smonskarameikos.blogspot.com/"]Karameikos Campaign[/URL] (Classic) 25 months to January 2017, ca level 1-18 at about 4 sessions/level, ca 72 total. [URL="http://4esouthlands.blogspot.com/"]Southlands Campaign[/URL] (4e) 20 sessions 2011-12, level 3-10. Yggsburgh Campaign (1e AD&D) was 45 online sessions before tailing off. Wilderlands (online5e ) has run a few hundred sessions since 2015. 1e Rise of the Runelords was 16 sessions online before TPK. I used to mostly run 20-35 session campaigns in 3e, but with 5e I find it fits longer campaigns going the full level range. Adding up #sessions for the completed campaigns above I get 103+34+26+20+45+16=244/6=22 sessions average campaign length, but this is biased to the low end by not counting the long duration ongoing campaigns like Runelords (83) and Wilderlands (200+).
