Why do so many campaigns never finish? Genuinely curious what others think

And even 40 sessions felt way too long! 12-18 sessions is around what I feel is the sweet spot to tell your story and then get out and onto the next game.

That's in line with what we disscussed about tv shows. Some people like limited series (myself included). Some people, like my mom or my grandma, they like turkish and mexican telenovelas, with 150-200 episodes. As someone who grew up on "Televisa presenta" mexican telenovelas, i can see the appeal, but it's not everyones cup of tea. Same with games, some people like long campaigns with multiple characters, multiple parallel story arcs that intertwine etc. Or just plain old loosely based series of short adventures.

Wow. TBH, i'm a bit jealous. Last time i played in 6h long session was back in university days. On the other hand, 6-8h in front of a screen, after spending 30+ hours a week staring at screen for work, sounds like torture. I always viewed TTRPGs as screen detox hobby. That's beauty of these boards, each of us has it's own views and preferences.

2016 for me...
