The feeling of our group(s) being painfully slow comes from the fact that we play only once every three weeks and the "active" time is only about, say, two and a half hours.Regarding the influence of system and adventure, I say the combination of both is the deciding factor. What the 4e authors never seem to have learned is that a good 4e adventure is designed differently than those of other versions of D&D. Give me a 4e adventure with 3-4 complex combats and a lot of freedom for roleplaying and build-up and I'm happy. And don't force the combats into a single dungeon level.Regardless of this, the more convoluted the plot is the more time an adventure takes. While this sound trivial, there's something more to it. The longer adventure leads to more sessions, more sessions means longer real time, and this means that the amount of time needed for recapping and planning grows much more than the added elements would cause.</blockquote>
