[QUOTE="Hussar, post: 6011762, member: 22779"] Well, I dunno to be honest. Maybe it's just because my life has never really been stable enough until I was in my 30's to even consider committing to a 3+ year campaign. In school, be it high school or uni, I doubt most campaigns last more than a year or two simply because people are so mobile. Granted, I don't have any hard data, so, I'm reading the chicken entrails here too. But, from every poll and piece of evidence I've seen, anything beyond about two years is pretty rare. As Lanefan says, any sort of "Adventure Path" style campaign isn't going to last that long and I think that people's groups simply don't stay together long enough to get multi-year campaigns off the ground very often. And, let's be honest here, every version of D&D has tended to top out after about 18 months of weekly play. Other than maybe BECMI. But, after about 18 months, most groups are probably looking at starting new campaigns. Look at how little high level play gets actually played. There's a reason we don't get high level modules all that often. Everyone still plays low to mid level, because it takes too darn long to get up to high level. [/QUOTE]
