[QUOTE="pming, post: 8403503, member: 45197"] Hiya! I went with 7 because I'm assuming "when the PC's are actually ON and 'adventure' and in the thick of it". In other words, I didn't include the 3 sessions of them walking into the Keep on the Borderlands, getting to know the Keep and all that roleplaying stuff, then some simple scouting into the wilderness to find the Caves of Chaos with a wandering monster or two the next session, then back at the keep for healing, more RP'ing, some equipment buying, and the hiring of, er, hirelings, the inevitable one to three random encounters to get back to the Caves, and the resting and preparing. THEN when the PC's are inside the Caves and Dungeons of the gloomy canyon, yeah, easily 7 per session. For lots of sessions. There may be a 'short' track back to base camp to resupply or rest for a day, but those are mostly over in about a half hour of play time, then back into the dungeon! :) There is no feasible way for me to guess an "average, per session, over the last X years", because the group of PC's can be vastly different. Some of my players characters were very much "roleplaying and character development centric", and others were just straight up "kill the monsters, take the treasure!". So...for this poll, I had to go with the "most common" style of play we tend towards...which is classic, old-skool dungeon, cave, ruins, etc exploration. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
