Message: <blockquote data-quote="el-remmen" data-source="post: 9686921" data-attributes="member: 11">Recently, my "Primordial Evil" campaign (an in-person group that meets until recently met every 3 to 5 weeks for 5 hours, but now meets every 3 weeks for 3 hours) completed my own conversion of UK4 - When a Star Falls (using the QftIS version to fill in blanks when I finally got my hands on it).The party got their first indication of the hook (dream-visions about the fallen star) in Session #17 (which we played on June 15, 2024) and began the actual adventure the session after. They completed it a couple of months ago - Session 27, played on April 27, 2025 (with an kind of epilogue session involving the Deck of Many Things following it) and then had their first session of a new arc begin last night.All told that was 10 sessions (we can call it ten and a half) involved in a multi-part adventure that I will admit was stretched out some due to the elements I added/changed to make the module fit our campaign events better.  Another thing that slowed it down was that TWICE during this adventure the party was defeated and taken captive (under 2 very different circumstances) and had to work to free themselves and recover their gear.In that time the PCs were awarded XP in session #17 (at the end of the previous adventure, right before this one) and again in session #27 (after When a Star Falls was completed). They went from 4th to 5th level.While I do wish we could play more often and for longer (Ideally, we'd play every 2 weeks for 4 to 5 hours - but that just isn't in the cards for any of us), the actual pace of what is happening in the sessions is one that I like.  The previous two short adventures (which were bound together via location, so not easy to separate out) took 7 sessions to conclude.Anyway, I don't really have an argument or a question. . . I just thought it'd be interesting to share how long it took my group to complete When a Star Falls, since it is one others have easier access to now that it has been reprinted for 5E - so serves as potential point of comparison despite some differences in play (esp. given that no adventure, in my experience, ever plays out exactly as written).</blockquote>
