That was with extended family (Family Reunion) though so they really know how I like to run my games and we get along with how we see things pretty well.  That probably ran even faster and smoother than other games simply because of that. Would people consider that fast?Something I suppose people can consider is when looking at the tournament modules from the past.  Those games were meant to be run in tournaments and so were meant to be gotten through.  How long would it take people who have 30 minute combats to get through one of those today at that speed?  Trying to put it into perspective for those who can't understand how games can flow like this.I never actually really thought my games were actually excessively fast, but...maybe it's just how they used to run when I first started decades ago and I just never changed?Not sure.  It's strange seeing the differences of time here.</blockquote>
