How often do you play?

[Sir Swindle89]

I was kinda curious as to how often people on here actually play the RPG's we talk about.

Personally, I have a long running 4E game 1 weekend a month all day. Some of the people for that are in BESM game that runs on non-conflicting week ends also once a month also all day. The night before one of those monthly games I run Ars Magica with those guys.

Every Thursday I have a really ADD group that switches systems about every month and alternates DM a bunch.

During school I usually run one weekly game (Dark Heresy this time round) and play in a weekly game (looks like Star Wars Saga Edition)

so thats 15 days a month I theoretically plan to play D&D barring cancelations, life is good.

i usually play twice a week with a third monthly/bi-monthly game on some saturdays.

[kkortekaas]

My group doesn't get together nearly often enough, it averages out to once a month for 4 or 5 hours.

[Aotrs Commander]

Under optimal conditions, two evenings per week (realsitically, about two hours per session) and about four day-quest per year during holiday periods (at weekends, nowadays, but the timing has persisted for twenty years.)

(I also, under optimal conditions, have an evening's wargaming per week as well.)

[Kaww]

About 30 hours in 4 weeks. 2 or 3 sessions in 4 weeks.

[Kol Korran]

i join those who play all too rarely- we used to play once every 2-3 weeks (for 5-6 hours), but due to some RL constraints of mine (the DM), we now meet about once every 4-5 weeks....

i miss regular, reasonably frequency playing

[Black_Zawisza]

5-10 hours, every one or two weeks.

[GoatBoy]

I run a game for about 3 hours, once per week. But we have to cancel sometimes since we're all in school and stuff just comes up.

Ideal situation for me would be running one game a week, and playing in one, about 3 hours each time.

[Ghotifish]

Sundays from 12pm until the comic shop closes at 7. Good times.

[pffh]

Not as often as I'd like. I would like to have a 4-6 hour session every week or every other week but right now we are lucky if we can get one session a month.

[WarKitty]

Once a week, for 5-6 hours.

[Coplantor]

Well, our entire group decided to play once a week every saturday for 4 to 5 hours. So far, we've played four times in a year.

[Amphetryon]

I DM one game a week, for 4ish hours.

I wish I could play.

[Ormur]

On average probably about once a week for 5-6 hours. It's split between three groups so sometimes it's twice a week and then there are weeks with no sessions if people are out of the country or as now when there are exams.

[Gnaritas]

Once per week for 3 hours.

[bokodasu]

Once a week, 3 hours.

My DM plays 7 days a week.

[comicshorse]

Once a week for 4 hours (Fading Suns)
Once a fortnight for 4 and a half hours ( NWoD Changeling.)
Once a week for five hours ( DnD 3.5 Eberron)
Once every fortnight for 10 hours ( Dark Ages Vampire thopugh we've played through to the 18th Century)

[Baveboi]

The real answer to this question, and everyone would have to agree here, is that WE all play whenever we can.
Work, school, family and other things tend to get in the way of hobbies like these, so we just spend our time with it wisely.

If I'm wrong please do correct me.

[WalkingTarget]

Well, back in the heyday of my gaming group (i.e. during my undergraduate education) we played around 3-5 weekly games (depending on who was running what during any given semester). Not everybody was in every game, but we tended to have a quorum for play on just about any night and so had occasional pick-up games on off-nights using a very quick-play-friendly system a few of the guys put together.

These days: not much, between friends having children, me going back to grad school, and simple geographical separation it's difficult for me to join in on any sort of regular RP game. There is a weekly board game night within my department here, though. So that's something at least.

My DM plays 7 days a week.

I am jealous......

as said above, I play WHENEVER given the opportunity

over the past summer, before college, this was between 0 and 7 days a week, typically for a minimum of 4 hours (and a max of something like 18 hours)

once I got a group together on campus, we meet once a week
sundays from 6:30 to 10:30

and lately go a little over so as not to rush things.

next semester I may have 2 groups. both once a week for 4 hours (depends how many new players we get)

[Dusk Eclipse]

3e I am not playing in any game, two of my friends have stated their desire to run a game, but so far I got no word on when we are going to start playing.

Last year (before the stupid university entrance course I am taking) I played every Sunday from 11:30 to 16:ish so 4-5 hours in a 4e campaign.

[Sipex]

Once a month, on a Saturday, 5 hours.

I'm the DM and I really wish I got more time to play. Due to conflicting player schedules though, Saturday is the only day we can do it >.<

[valadil]

I GM every other week for about four hours. I play with a group that runs alternating games once a week. I'm also in a weekend group that was supposed to meet bi-weekly, but actually works out to monthly. So I think I average 1.75 game sessions per week.

I really like GMing bi-weekly. When I ran weekly games, all my free time had to go toward writing. And I was still stressed for ideas. Running every other week lets me incubate ideas for a whole week and then spend the next week writing them down.

[Kerrin]

Due to schedule conflicts and busy lives, our group usually plays about once a month for 4-5 hours.

Needless to say, our adventures move along rather slowly.

[Adam...?]

We try to find time to get the guys together for DnD on a weekly basis. However, due to chaotic work/class/exam schedules, it's not uncommon for us to miss weeks. Sessions usually run for 4-5 hours a pop. Seeing as I'm a slacker, low-prep DM, I find it to be a pretty good pace.

[Morbis Meh]

This year I play two days a week, one on saturday with a group of hardcore RPGers and one on sundays with a more laidback crowd.

[Vortling]

I play twice a week for about 3 hours each session with one bi monthly game on saturdays. However I GM both weekly games so time I'm actually playing is less.

[Seerow]

Once every other week from 2pm until whenever everyone feels like going home (usually sometime between 9pm and midnight)

[ajkkjjk52]

Currently, one session (lasting 5-9 hours) almost every Satuday. It's the most regular game I've played in in years.

[Tyndmyr]

Typically, a normalish session on weds of about five hours. And on Sat, a 10-14 hour session.

We occasionally do more, but sometimes we skip a day, so that's about average. The game played rotates frequently, as with 15 hrs of gameplay a week, we carve through campaigns pretty rapidly.
