Message: <blockquote data-quote="el-remmen" data-source="post: 8486747" data-attributes="member: 11">I think all the campaigns that are false starts or early TPKs really skews the data down - that is, if this average is actually determined by a source and via a method we trust, we can't really know. That said, however, it feels right or in the ballpark even if it is not really my experience. And personally, I don't think one-shots should count since they are by definition "not campaigns." While I do have some false starts or quick deaths in my experience, and unfortunately I did not keep close track of number of sessions played for campaigns I was running or playing in until after 2000, I can do a pretty good guess for some and know for certain about the longest or most recent ones.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Oath (2E - mostly weekly from Oct 1996 to Feb 2000): approximately 148 sessions [DM]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Company of the Rod (2E/3E - mostly weekly from Jan 1999 to June 2001): approximately 119 sessions [player]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Out of the Frying Pan - first try (2E/3E - bi weekly for a few months in 2000): Approximately 12 sessions [DM]*</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Out of the Frying Pan - second try (3E - biweekly from Feb 2001 to Jan 2006): 104 sessions [DM]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The Promised Land (3E - biweekly from Feb 2003 to Dec 2004): 28 sessions [player]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Second Son of a Second Son (3E - biweekly from Jan 2007 to Aug 2009): 52 sessions [DM]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">In Pursuit of Adventure (3E) - biweekly from June 2010 to May 2016): 99 sessions [player]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ghosts of Saltmarsh+ (5E - every 3 to 5 weeks from January 2020 to present): 32 sessions (so far) [DM]</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Revenants of Saltmarsh (5E remote - every 3 to 5 weeks from April 2020 to present): 22 sessions (so far) [DM]</li> </ul>There are a couple of other games sprinkled in there that didn't last any significant time. There was a 2E game we played about eight sessions of before it fizzled and a short-term "when everyone can't make it" game that only lasted about 4 sessions I can think of off the top of my head.* This iteration of the campaign dwindled and died due to playstyle differences and people moving away, but I had done so much work prepping it, I just started over with new people a year later and that time it stuck.</blockquote>
