[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 8984605, member: 4937"] Pretty sure an infinite amount of time. I might not want to play continuously; there are other things I'd want to do with infinite time, but I'm pretty sure I could play D&D for longer than the lifetime of the universe and not run out of ideas. I have 10's of lifetimes of ideas in my head that I'll never get to play even without brainstorming for more. I wouldn't play with the edition that is out or which is coming out, because I like my own homebrewed edition (3.25, Celebrim's Edition). But, the observation about how much time I could invest would be true regardless of edition. I could do the same infinite amount of time with 1e AD&D, for example, though over time I suspect my house rules would migrate toward the 3.25e I already use because it plays like I prefer and covers my homebrewed setting. Likewise, if I played 5e, I suspect that there would also be rules drift back toward or borrowing things from 3.25. But the setting for D&D is countably infinite. There are bigger infinities out there, but even with what I have it would go forever. Which is one of the things I like about an RPG compared to say 'Settlers of Caitan' or 'Wingspan' or 'Skyrim' or 'Canasta' most any other game. I could and do eventually get bored with an individual game. I'd never get bored of an RPG, not in a million years. [/QUOTE]
