Just wondering how long the typical Savage Worlds campaign lasts. For my group, it's a toss up between 10 sessions and "till the very bloody end."

i really enjoy mini-campaigns (a la Zombie Run), but the Savage Settings have been so cool it seems a shame to finish with 'em so quickly.

I voted 2-3 (one long adventure), but over the course of a month we probably play 6-8 sessions (on average), thus one long adventure and 2-3 one shots per month would be about the norm at my table.

I am savaging my old D&D campaign setting though. It ran (under both D&D and AD&D) for over 20 years. Once savaged, it will be the "standard fantay setting" for my group; however, we'll come and go from it as we please. There are just too many neat settings out there for us to commit to playing in only one for any longer than a single extended adventure (although we might come back for another at some point in the future).

Umm... it's a mix really.

Lots of one-shots, some mini-campaigns, and then the 'super-minis', almost always 13 episodes long.

I voted 9-15. We played all of EN (12-13 sessions), but we've also played 1-2 session games and the like. Right now I've got 3 SW games going on; one has run about 4-5 sessions, one is going to have session 3 tonight, the other just had its 2nd session last weekend.

I'm only running one of these three SW games, I'm playing in the other two.

...Though I am running an online BD&D campaign as well.

My group likes L-O-N-G campaigns; our Shadowrun campaign has been going for over a decade, and the players STILL insist that my old Harn campaign is alive, even though I haven't GMed it in over two years.

Right now, we have my 1920's pulp game which is a homebrew that'll probably last for around 24 episodes, and the Savage Harn campaign, which looks to continue for several years...and in which we've already gamed a dozen of so sessions in three months.

There are only 24 gaming groups playing Savage Worlds?

You can be apathetic about voting for governments, but about gaming related issues?

[Wendigo1870]

We tend to play ANY game 'till boredom, disinterest, or GM writer's block sets in. This can take 1 session to 8 years of playing (though admittedly, not very frequently playing the same game more than two times in a row).
9 players, of which 6 GM's, each 3 games average, ...
I played NE through 6 sessions in a month, and this was a strange but positive experience for me as GM, and my players. FREQUENCY!

Our sessions are at the low end of session length but we tend to have a lot more sessions. our campaigns tend to go on and on until we have completed the story arc (Evernight) or the campaign folds though there are campaigns which cpild be started again once writer's block is overcome. Ian
