How many hours during a week do you game? Is it a single campaign or multiple ones?

Typically, I spend every Saturday running games from 10am to 10 pm. Each of those Saturdays is spent running two or more RPG events ranging from a beginner's D&D group (going through World's Largest Dungeon), an intermediate level group (going through Return to Temple of Elemental Evil), an advanced group (in my personal campaign world), a modern horror group (using Spycraft rules), and after the first of the year I'll be starting a superhero campaign (using Mutants & Masterminds). And to top it off, about once every 4 months my regular epic group gets together on a Sunday for about six hours to play.

Is anyone else this insane?

I play in one group, we meet once a week for between 4-6 hours. Every summer and Winter we have a weekend session at my cottage or house depending on the season.
 

After crunching the math, it looks like I do about 0.666 hours per week of gaming.

We're lucking to get in a session once every 6 - 8 weeks, and they typically only last about 6 hours or so. Pretty pathetic really, but we're all grownups with jobs, kids and other things to do.
 

used to game 3-4hrs/session; 5 sessions/week; 50 weeks/year; for 10+ years.


currently. i avg about one 6 hr session every fortnight.
 



I voted 8-12 hrs, but... it might fall into the 12+ category, I dunno. Especially since omrob just restarted his game after a long hiatus- that means my game 1/wk and his game 1/wk... yeah, prolly gonna be averaging 12+ very soon. Now that the holidays are over, we'll be doin' mad gaming.

In fact, I think today......
 

Well, what do you consider game time?

Sitting at a table playing? Is preparing for a game counted? DM prep?

Also you do not have one for "Not Enough". :)
 

Somewhere between 8-12 and 12+ in two campaigns... one is during the week for about 4h and the other on the weekend for about 8h.

Bye
Thanee
 

I ran the numbers and a 6-8 hour game every other weekend adds up to 3-4 hours per week.

That said, I'm sort of in the process of getting another game going on alternate weekends, so I'll hopefully be doing twice as much per week over the next few months...
