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.

Quote from: RandallS;449288I could run a campaign for 2-3 years of almost weekly play before I'd be likely to have players with characters anywhere near 14th level. In almost 18 months of play in my current Wilderlands M75 campaign, PCs range from 4th to 7th level -- and the one who at 7th -- a fighter, BTW -- has been played since the TPK near the beginning of the campaign.

In an Arn campaign, the PCs would hit higher levels much faster as Arn is a high power/high entropy world. The Hidden Valley and the Wilderlands are low power worlds.

Hmm, now I'm trying to remember how long it took for the PCs to complete "expert" levels in my RC D&D campaign; it was considerably less than 3 years, if I'm not mistaken.

2 years doesn't seem off given 4-6 hours of play roughly once a week, with occasional missed weeks.

Are you authentic enough to rewrite the game? :D

How fast characters advance depends on a lot of variables: what you give XP for and how much you give, amount of treasure available (especially useful magic items), how combat-oriented the campaign is (especially true if you do not give XP for treasure), the number of PCs (as XP is divided among them), etc.

In general, for my low powered worlds, my average number of PCs (larger than most groups these days), etc. it takes a number of play sessions equal to about 1.5 to 2 times the character's current level to advance to the next level.  That's two to three real months of weekly play just to get to 3rd level.

Quote from: Cole;449392Anything you can tell us about this project yet?

I am committed to putting out one game on PDF/POD by the end of 2011 and I am unsure which of my half-finished projects that will be.  I am leaning toward my espionage game, but it might be the gonzo fantasy or even the RBO setting.

I'll launch a thread about gonzo fantasy and talk more about it.

Quote from: Cole;449392That makes sense and I can get behind that. It seemed clear to me from post #! that this was the idea. Yet there we go again, into Pierre Menard, DM of the Rules Compendium territory.
Although not entirely correctly (since I did not aim to recreate any particular thing), I did dedicate my homebrew system to Pierre Menard. :cool:
