[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7460148, member: 97077"] Because I have a player pool and more than one character per player that can be swapped in and out, it's a little hard to say. Based on the most consistent player and character in my town-to-dungeon campaign (two campaigns ago), it's probably something like 80 hours of play to get from 1st to 8th level. That campaign was exactly 20 sessions, each 4 hours long, over the course of 6 months. In game time, this was 20 weeks.
