Message: <blockquote data-quote="MACLARREN" data-source="post: 5173581" data-attributes="member: 12288">Tomorrow evening we begin one of our 2 annual marathon sessions.  We begin play at around 6 pm eastern and play until anywhere from 2-4 am.  We then sleep, wake up, have breakfast and start all over again at around 10 am and go until 2-4 am the next morning and then the same thing all over again on Saturday.  We are trying to get 3 of these this year but we always have at least 2.  It is tough for our group to get together as we have one player who lives in Tampa and he treks to Central PA  via a plane for these sessions.  The rest of us are spread from State College, to Pittsburgh and the DC area.  We have been doing this since around 2000 when we all got back in to playing 3rd edition D&D that was modified.  We have tried 4e and it is just not the game for us but we have taken elements of 4e, Trailblazer, PF, Conan RPG, and 3rd edition and have a complete home brewed rule system which is perfect for the game we all enjoy.  We just recently ended a straight Conan campaign and we will be venturing our system into the Midnight World that is slightly altered to meet our DM's design.  Very dark and gritty as we are all 30-40's playing.  Great DM and just 3 solid days of goodness that never seems to last long enough.  With all of that being said, does anyone else ever hold sessions like this in length and if so, how are they?  I have never had a bad one and we drink a lot of beer and this is one of the 2 best weekends of the year for me.  Back to work and just wanted to see.</blockquote>
