[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 8487195, member: 4534"] I've been fortunate to have had a fairly steady group for the better part of the last decade where we meet on a weekly basis for some hot RPG action. We took a hiatus in 2020 for obvious reasons, but started meeting online in August when it became clear this situation wasn't just going to blow over. We started meeting face-to-face in June 2021 once everyone was vaccinated, but game night isn't reliable as we've had to cancel more often than we did in the past. I don't think my experience is typical, because I'm not sure most people have had a steady group like I have for so long. I've never really given much thought into figuring out how long our campaigns last. For a number of years, I've planned for campaigns to last a few months before they were finished. I don't really plan it time wise, but I set goals for the campaign and once they're met we pick another game. Our typical campaigns can last anywhere between 6-20 sessions. One in a while a campaign just fizzles out because we lose interest. Attempting to game with others outside my regular group has proven difficult. I've found a lot of gamers are somewhat flakey meaning they'll commit to being at the game and then they just don't show up. Some of this can be chalked up to compatibility issues, but when half the people don't show up on the first day it's not about compatibility. [/QUOTE]
