D&D General When Was Your Last D&D Gaming Session?

[CleverNickName]

When was the last time you and your friends gathered around a table (or met online) to play a real, honest-to-goodness game of D&D? Inquiring video game avatars wanna know! Vote for the closest answer.

This poll is only for the Dungeons & Dragons game, any edition...no Pathfinder, OSR, Savage Worlds, etc. at this time. The poll options should be pretty straightforward, but if you need to clarify your vote just drop a comment below.

Last Thursday. The next session is this Friday. We do 3 Thursdays and 1 Friday a month. If there's an extra game in a month due to how the days fall, it will be on Thursday.

Not part of the poll, but in case anyone is interested:

• My group is 5 players and the DM
• We take turns being the DM.
• We play virtually, on Roll20, every Friday.
• 5th Edition rules, Eberron campaign setting
• I'm currently playing a 14th level Abjurer (Human, Mark of Making)
• The session lasted 6 hours, which is typical for our group.
• We've been playing together regularly for about 11 years, starting with 3.5E.
• This is one of three gaming groups that I'm a part of.

I voted 2-3 months ago (it was the first week of July). Had a session scheduled a few weeks ago, but it got cancelled due to limited availability of players. Next one is set for September 15, and hopefully we can maintain a roughly bi-weekly schedule going forward.

Finished up a 5E campaign about 2-3 years ago. Been playing other RPGs since.

Well, it should have been last night so less than a week ago, but because of the holiday three players couldn't make it, so we watched the movie Dragonslayer and some of the D&D cartoons, just hanging out.

Does that count as a session???

EDIT: Actually, that was for my Monday-night group. On Saturday we had session 0 for a new d20 SW game. Not D&D, but since it is d20 I'll count it as half, and combined with my group meeting last night, as a "whole session".

So, less than one week ago...

It's okay to vote for one of the other options, ya know. Nobody is gonna judge you for not playing D&D every single week.

 

[el-remmen]

• August 20th. Before that, August 13th.
• I have two groups. Both 5e. One is in-person (four players), the other remote using Zoom (3 players - anyone want to join?).
• I am basically always the DM (though one player in the latter group is starting up an OSR DCC game I will be playing in and a player in the former game who was new to D&D is trying his hand at DMing for the first time with one-shot soon)
• Both groups are playing in my adapted version of Ghosts of Saltmarsh, with the latter group about a year and a half behind the former.
• Sessions are five hours long for the in-person group (2 pm to 7 pm) and three hours long for the remote group.
• The in-person group is made up of all new players to me (2 are new to D&D, 2 last played in the 2E era). We've played together since January 2020. The remote group is made up of players I have played on and off with since 1993, 1997, and 2000 respectively.

While technically I ran a single-player session on the weekend (thus my vote of "less than a week") it's been 2.5 years since running in person with a full crew.

Well, if you had asked the poll last week, it would have been 1 week since we try to play every Monday.

 

[Burnside]

48 minutes ago. I average 2 games per week.

However, last in-person game was August 21, and that was only the 3rd in person game I’ve played this year.

 

[Richards]

I run a 3.5 campaign that meets once or twice a month and I'm a player in another that's weekly, on Wednesday evenings. However, our last sessions for each were on 7 and 10 August and we won't be starting back up again until mid-October. It's not from lack of interest, though: one of our number just underwent some surgery and has some healing up to do before we start our campaigns back up.

I haven't gotten to play D&D in about a year. I did have 2 sessions of Blades in the Dark in January 2022 though.
My problem was mainly some papillomas on my vocal cord, rendering me unable to speak for more than a few minutes at a time/ Not so good when you're the DM. 4 surgeries later and I'm doing great- with no recurrence after 3 months. I am so ready to play! But my group is now too busy with school, kids and real life. poor poor pitiful me.
Anyone wanting to play in an Eberron campaign online, hit me up. I might be able to get you access to Foundry for the game- it's one of the player's servers.

Every Wednesday with my wife and kids. They are loving it and I'm attempting to build terrain. The kids really love getting handouts and seeing the dungeons in 3 dimensions.

 

[Cadence]

Tonight. 5e, 2nd night of three teenagers going through B1-B2 with two characters each. (Their other characters are in hiatus after making it to 16th level in mid-summer after about two years).

 

[Vaalingrade]

Caught me on a bad week. We normally have 2-3 sessions a week, but Labor Day were declared, so

It's beeeeen One Week since I played a game
Threw the dice and have the ones screw me.
Six days since my bard mouthed of,
Almost made the barbar into an enemy.

 

[Volund]

Less than a week ago = Yesterday on Roll20 (5e player), an in-person game two days earlier (5e DM), and another three days before that one on Foundry (OSE DM).

 

[JEB]

Our D&D campaign (which had run since the beginning of 5E) went on hiatus due to Covid, and has yet to resume. So I guess about 2.5 years. We attempted to do a two-part wrap-up this summer, but it didn't work out for various reasons. May try again this fall. Discussions of moving online haven't really gone anywhere, despite bursts of interest from various members of the group. (I'm not enthusiastic about the idea, myself, but I'd certainly participate if someone else did the heavy lifting.)

 

[GuyBoy]

Playing in 3 groups:
Roughly monthly with a face-to-face group of friends, running two campaigns each weekend ( I DM one, @TheSword runs the other). The group has been playing for over 20 years now.
Fortnightly on Roll 20 for Warhammer campaign The Enemy Within, again run by @TheSword
Weekly, on a Saturday night, for the Scorpion Lands campaign run by @Steampunkette on Roll 20

I’m lucky to be able to play with great players and great DMs.

 

[Dioltach]

It would have been last Saturday, but one of my groups is taking a short break from D&D to recharge our batteries (as in mine, as the DM). Instead we played D&D Adventure System: Tomb of Annihilation and Legend of Drizzt. And then we watched The Mandalorian.
