The shortest RM campaign we ever played lasted for two or three full-day sessions (RM2). It ended because our characters died. We moved on. Our longest campaign has lasted for at least 7 years now and is still officially on-going (RMSS). Of course, our last session was sometime in 2005, and since we may never continue the campaign, I'm not sure if the last few years count. Our other major RM campaign, which is actually parallel to the previous one, started around 2001 and is also on-going (RMSS). And, yeah, the last session was over two years ago as well. In the first, I've played the same character throughout, a mage (currently L14). In the second, I've had two characters, a Fighter/Warrior Monk who died (L11), followed by a Warrior Monk/Zen Monk (L19).
Generally, we've tended to go for the long campaigns with more or less the same character line-up from start to finish. We've never passed beyond the 20th level, though, in any level-based system. In fact, we've rarely even actually finished a campaign. Usually we kinda just stop playing.
It's been over two years since I've last done any role-playing. Which sucks. How do you people, especially the ones with jobs and families, make the time? How do you play when you're all grown-up and nobody seems to have the time? I am so envious of you guys. I wanna play! I've been playing for 15 to 20 years, and I don't want to stop now!
