[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 7463706"] It depends HEAVILY on the players. There are some people and some groups I have played with who are on the ball, head-in-the-game badda-bing badda-boom kinda players who take their turns in moments, know exactly what they want to do, know exactly how the rules work and JUST DO IT *insert Shia LaBouf here*. There are other players who are distracted, argumentative, generally slow, don't know what to do and can take ages to take their turn, distract other players on their turns and make the game bog down. I've been in groups where a "round" is about 5-6 minutes. Combat is 15-20min. Role play is sharp and to the point. I've played in other games where a [I]turn[/I] could be 5-10 minutes. Combat lasts an hour and role play is slow and poor. I think that it is an unrealistic expectation going into D&D that D&D will always be the former. HOWEVER, going into it with that expectation [I]of yourself[/I] may lead you to becoming a faster, better player, and more people being faster better players [I]will[/I] lead to more games being faster.
