[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4701068, member: 60965"] My longest game was the first 2nd edition game I ran. We played 2-4 nights a week after middle- and high-school for 3-5 hours for about 3 years, then we'd sometimes to 5-7 hour sessions on the weekend. It ended with the players near 2nd edition level caps (10-12ish). So, say conservatively: 3 hours x 2 nights a week + 5 hours 1 day a week = ~11 hours a week. x 3 years is about 1600 hours, maybe more? There was alot of goofing around and probably 50 characters died in the course of that game (back in the days before we knew what "fudging" and "level-appropriate monsters" were). We had a d6 Star Wars game that I ran along the same timelines. Probably at least 800 hours on that one. Tough to say since these were all about 10 years ago and we'd do random pick up games of just about any game we came across at a moments notice. More recently, I don't think I've run a game that lasted longer than a year. I don't think I've ever played in a game for longer than the 4e game I'm in now (which we've been playing since about 2 months after 4e came out, whenever that was). [/QUOTE]
