And with 5 regular players + 1 DM, that'd be about 1.2% of the game as a group (minus the people who haven't been there for the whole thing). So, what percentage of the game's experience have you actually played through yourself? What about your group as a whole?This calculation is part of what reminds me that "more content" is rapidly diminishing returns...I haven't experienced even 1% of the current content of the game! And that's probably true even when you add all my separate groups together! How about you?</blockquote>
