As I write this column it’s Thursday afternoon, which means I’m also scrawling down occasional notes in a rather battered notebook ahead of tonight’s Dungeons & Dragons game. According to the page in front of me, we’re about to play out our forty-third session.
Assuming we average out at about three hours per game – many are shorter, some are much longer – by the end of tonight our little group will have invested in the region of 130 hours into our campaign. That’s around five straight days of roleplaying, if you could somehow go that long without having your brain melt into a pile of goop.
