[QUOTE="dangerous jack, post: 4913301, member: 23654"] It seems like there's a lot more groups out there that are limited like my group than I thought. My group meets once / month for a 2.5 hour session. So that usually means 2-3 encounters in 4e. Like others have said, Dungeon Delve is a useful tool. Other things I do that seem to work: The PCs level up every 3 months (usually 6-8 encounters total, but enough for them to use their new powers at least once) There's no world map past the immediate surroundings, and there's no campaign plan... it evolves as places & plots are needed, and I'm assuming that over the 7.5 years it'll take if we go to level 30, I'll change my mind several times. So my prep time is focused on making every encounter as interesting as possible. Longer adventures are possible, but they get broken up into acts/locations that take no more than 2 nights of gaming. For example, the adventure they're just finishing had 20 encounters spread over 5 acts. [/QUOTE]
