[QUOTE="Alarian, post: 6060633, member: 24407"] I've pretty much GM'ed from they day I started playing which was around the Christmas of 1977. I would say weekly from 1977-1984. Figure sickness and such 40 games a year at 8 hours a game = 280*8= 2240 hours which is probably low. I joined the military in 1984 and was stationed in California for most of my enlistment. I ran a game there that went from 10pm to 6am Monday through Friday that lasted over 2 1/2 years. Subract out my 2 weeks of vacation would be 125 weeks * 5 days a week * 8 hours a day = 5000. Joined a great group when I got out of the Navy (that we still play together to date) and went back to College from 1988-2004 and gamed at LEAST once a week (much more than that the first 2 years.) so say another 2900 hours there. After that I had some lean years but still ran my group online (Woo woo to First Fantasy Grounds and now Maptool!). Approximately 40 weeks a year and 5 hour sessions for going on 8 years now but I trade Gm'ing with another DM so 1/2 that. Say another 800 hours. So that's approximately 11,000 hours and I would be willing to bet a lot that thats low. And if you figure in prep time...WoW!!! [/QUOTE]
