[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 5456713, member: 3586"] Incidentally, the actual quotation in the 2E DMG as to rate of advancement is: "An average pace in an AD&D game campaign is considered to be three to six adventures per level, with more time per level as the characters reach higher levels. However, it is possible to adventure as quickly as one level per adventure or as slowly as ten or more adventures per level." The only reasonable definition of "adventure" in that quotation is as "session". (Consider that a standard published D&D adventure covered several levels of play, and one realises that you can't use that as a guide!) Comparatively, 3E is designed for four sessions per level (it's assumed that you spend a bit of time doing other stuff apart from the 4 encounters/session and 13.33 encounters/level), and 4E for three sessions per level or thereabouts.
