[QUOTE="xortam, post: 4912950, member: 60146"] I currently run a game that meets once a month but sometimes more if we can make it. We start at midday and meet at the supermarket to get all the food and drink in for the whole session and start off with lunch so that gets all the chit-chat out of the way. We then play for a few hours and break again in the evening, sometimes going to a nearby food establishment or cooking something in the kitchen we play in. After dinner it's back to the game until around about midnight. It seems like a long day but breaking it up with food keeps a lot of the social aspects to meal times. We get a big chunk of gaming done in between food and almost level up every session or so. In between sessions the players think about leveling up and the gap gives me a chance to prepare for next time. I also find that where we are playing for around 8-10 hours combat does become quite quick and fluid because everyone has got their game head on for the whole day. The same group also meets weekly but we vary that session with other RPGs, CCGs and boardgames but will return to our monthly game if we have found it difficult to meet up one month. I would say 90% of the time we can all commit to one day a month and sometimes we get a couple of games in. [/QUOTE]
