[QUOTE="Michael Silverbane, post: 4192091, member: 38016"] I voted two sessions, where a session is about 6 hours. Though, this really varies pretty wildly based on how rambunctious we are all feeling, the length of the adventure, if there are non-adventure-related concerns that we need to deal with, and so on... In one group, where I am playing, we've been going through a lot of the Necromancer Games modules, Doom of Listenshire, Tomb of Abysthor, and so on. These modules are taking us about 5 sessions to complete, on average. And, by complete, I mean clear the entire dungeon of all hostiles (though a couple of the monsters usually get away, in each module). I am running a Star Wars Saga game for the same group, doing all custom-made adventures. For each adventure, I am writing about eight or ten 'scenes' where one scene might be, "find out where the hostages are being held," or, "clean out the crack house." These adventures, the group is tending towards clearing in a single session. During the previous session, not only did they complete the adventure in one session, they also managed to interject a couple scenes of their own when they did, "get the lowdown on the local crime lord" and "raid on Jabba's palace" (which wasn't actually Jabba's palace, but the scene was at about that scale).
