Back in the day (from early 1983 to mid-1985, before I went to university) we played at least twice weekly. It was a mixture of TSR modules and home-made dungeons with bits of wilderness in between, so not exactly a coherent campaign, but we used the same PCs from 1st level to about 6th-8th as I recall. (Q. Why not higher? A. Death and/or level-draining undead.)<br /><br />At uni, I mainly ran Call of Cthulhu and played in Stormbringer. Those campaigns usually lasted about the length of a term (9-10 weeks, playing weekly) and ended with multiple fatalities!<br /><br />Then there are two "lost decades", when I barely played at all - just an occasional one-shot or maybe two-part game.<br /><br />Now I have a regular group and we've been playing D&D (Stonehell on the Borderlands) since last summer, roughly 3 sessions per month. There are three players because (a) I prefer smaller groups, and (b) I live in a modest-sized flat with only four chairs.ClawCarverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07236809815213343281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713201556953635246.post-14484425970474434772012-03-30T16:03:03.967-04:002012-03-30T16:03:03.967-04:00How many players did you have at each session, and...How many players did you have at each session, and was it the same core group all the way through?Jason Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03035794816254802441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713201556953635246.post-74532266569477132172012-03-30T13:57:56.810-04:002012-03-30T13:57:56.810-04:00My longest campaign ran about a year, with 2-3 ses...My longest campaign ran about a year, with 2-3 sessions each month.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12096724870715714696noreply@blogger.com
