The last set of characters leveled three times (hit die 7½-11) in about five years in-game. My campaign is a sandbox, and so oftentimes there's a "continue doing this unless something happens, or X time has passed" mindset that is normal for my group. Plus, long range teleportation is out of the question, so trips can last two months at times (potentially longer without horses).It's just different, that's all. I'm actually not sure which I prefer, personally, I was just noting how it was so different from my personal experiences! Thanks for sharing though, pemerton, I do find your replies interesting. As always, play what you like <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Well, we did used to play so much more often. Perhaps up to 40 hours a week, or peaking a little higher on really strong weeks. Also, I've had the same group of friends for the last 13 or so years, and we all started playing RPGs together. We're just used to one another, I guess! Closer than family, really.Again, I wasn't trying to say any other way is wrong, or anything. I guess my games just have more traveling and/or downtime. PCs tend to level about once every 4-5 sessions, and we play weekly (about 9-10 hours per session). It's not that we try to go slowly, it just ends up that way, I suppose.Good luck in your gaming, though. I do feel for you about leveling up... I myself haven't played in years, and never made it past level 5. Played over level 5, sure, but never from first level. I'm sure I'll play again, someday...
