[QUOTE="Blackbrrd, post: 5059252, member: 63962"] Personally I have run a hack-and-slash Tuesday campaign with 4 complex encounters per session in 3-4 hours. An encounter usually takes about 30-45 minutes. In other words, how quick 4e combat is depends on the group. What 4e does well regarding combat length is that in 3.5 we usually have combats that last 2 rounds, in 4e they last 5 rounds, but take as many minutes. In other words, you get to act 2.5 times as often. Knowing my group when it comes to inter character relations, planning, etc a session usually has less than 50% time spent in encounters. Most of the time is going to be used by the characters deciding what to do next. This probably is a symptom of a 6-8 player group (+1 dm). ;) [/QUOTE]
