Your greatest level span in a campaign?

[Gentlegamer]

Now, players routinely pre-plan and build their characters as if 20+ was a certainty.

I remember my magic-user who rolled "1s" for hit points each of his first three experience levels . . . living to see the next day wasn't even a certainty!

He made it to 5th level, never died, before the campaign ended. I'm pretty proud of that!

First through 25 was the biggest we had.

Level 8-13 over the period of about a year, I think.

For the most part I run games, thus why the odd disparity. I came into that game about half-way in.

As for the highest range of levels for a game I ran, level 2 to...12, I believe. The game's currently on hiatus and paused right around the border between 11 and 12. It took place around the period of 3 years, broken up here and there. Probably around a year and a half, two years worth of straight, weekly play if it all ran back to back. I did throw a freebie level in there at some point due to down-time. So a level range of around 9 or 10.

The current campaign has the longest stretch. From 3rd level to 14th in roughly 2.5 years time. I imagine we'll hit 17th before all is said and done.

Our first 3E game went from 1st to 17th. My AU game went from 1st to 16th. One lasted about 1.5 years, the second about... 1.2 years.

One of the groups I DM for has gone from 1st to 16th. We're planning on keeping that campaign going until the PCs make 20th.

From 2 to 13 in 3 years (the last couple of levels took 1 year because I, the DM, moved and only came 2 -3 weeks a year)

1 through 15 spanning 2e to 3e (not yet 3.5 though :\ )

Current campaign is about to end after a year and a half, levels 3-23.

The last long term before that went from levels 1-26, in about a year. However, due to lack of scheduling conflicts and what not, we were able to play 2-3 times a week for 8-12 hours.

The longest I've ever gotten to play in was a campaign that ran from like 6-17th level.

From the looks of everybody else's responses, my campaign is slow as slugs crawling through molasses.

From 1st to 8th and still going, in a little under a year. Longest range in any edition was from 1st to 17th, but that took about four years.
