This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Average Prep time Before a campaign, between games?

Yes.  +1.
I just looked at my settings, and not counting all the reams of handwritten stuff, the Celtricia wiki is up to 977 distinct pages.  Some of these are very much 'filling in' data and just increasing the versimilitude in the main play areas.
Currently running 1 live groups and two online group in my 30+ year old campaign setting.

My prep time is generally way too much before the campaign starts and not enough after it begins.

I know that isn't very helpful but it is often true. The actual time varies, depending on system and how much fiddly bits I have to wade through.
