Session length: what do to think is “right”

[Kelrugem]

My online group usually plays 8 hours (but we only play at most once a month)

My paper and pencil game sessions went from one hour to 4 or 5 hours. Haven't run one online yet, still learning the interface.

I plan for a 4 hour time slot when scheduling a game, but the run times tend towards 3 to 3.5 hours.

I like to run for 3-4 hours. I've done it live and on FG. We often end at the 3.5 mark and very rarely go over the 4 hour mark when in the middle of a battle or need to end some encounter. I just found the 2-3 hour sessions are a bit short for me. Years ago when I ran on Saturdays once a month we ran for 8 hours, but like a lot of people on this thread, I'm too old and busy to run like that anymore!

My in person games run 6-8 hours, depending on where the group are and what real life has in store for us. My Fantasy Ground sessions run 3 - 5 hours.
