[QUOTE="DarkJester, post: 3665162, member: 3280"] In my longer running game the following are normal: * Around 6 hour sessions, played at my (the DM's) house. * 5 PC's * No stopping for dinner, eat (usually pizza) while playing * Use battlemap and miniatures for battles where terrain is important. * Wands/Scrolls/Potions are usually available. Higher items (Which require bigger item creation feats) are comparatively more rare and may require going to specific locations to purchase them, or take significant time to locate them. * Wealth near, perhaps a little above, DMG guidelines. * All WOTC sources are allowed for character creation, but subject to DM approval for anything not in the PHB, DMG, or MM. People tend to make good use of the other sources. * PHB races only. * Custom game setting with other influences * PHB pantheon * PC death is relatively common at lower levels and tapers off getting to levels 5-6 and above. We we averaging about 1 every other session at levels 1-3. * Games have tended to be short campaigns lasting 3-4 levels before starting new games. * Games 3 out of 4 weeks a month. * 3-4 encounters per day (and typically at least 1 day per session) In the other, more recent game most of the above is true, but we usually only have 1--2 encounter per day with rarely more than one encounter per session. We play 3 1/2 or 4 hours per game, and the group is smaller (3-4 pcs on average). This game meets at our FLGS. [/QUOTE]
