I'm thinking if someone can give me a "it's roughly 8-10 4 hour sessions" or something along those lines. This will greatly help me do some planning for the next few months. Thanks everyone!

We have finished The Ruins of Thundertree (or part 3 of 4). The starter module is a bit shorter than HotDQ, so I surmise that the latter will take my group longer than 60 hours. Reason for this is that my group doesnt' like to rush through events and actually enjoy role playing with the various NPC's introduced, which is great because these will become hooks for later stories.

#7 Ransolot Nov 03, 2014 9:37:54	Then yeah, it's sounding very close to the (roughly) 60 hour mark, depending on session length. Which, I'm  guessing 6 hour sessions so it could be less. So I'm gonna try to plan for about 10 sessions. Thanks all!
