[QUOTE="Buttercup, post: 1835165, member: 990"] We usually start at noon on Sunday with a potluck. We spend 20 minutes filling our plates and chit-chatting, then we get down to business. Once the game starts, it runs for about 4 hours, and we are pretty focused. We don't engage in much OOC discussion or joking, and only the occaisonal rules clarification. After we finish the session, we spend about 30 minutes chatting about how it went, scheduling the next one and generally enjoying each other's company. Then we all go off to do our laundry and other life-maintenance activities. :D As DM, that's about my maximum. I put a lot of energy into the game, and after 4 hours, I'm wiped out and hoarse. As a player, I could go a bit longer, but I really hate games that last all day because people are goofing around, wandering off, talking on the phone and what-have-you. Sit down and play, and save the extraneous stuff for some other time, darn it! [/QUOTE]
