I am currently gaming with a PbP group that can run through a PFS scenario in 1-2 weeks, and with plenty of flavor posting from all involved. Just wondering if there are other comparable groups out there in the PbP world?
Orrrrrr......if you would like to talk about how to get your gaming experience sped up without losing any of the richness of the PbP experience, you can post here, as well.

Mine tend to run between 1 or two weeks to a month or two. It depends on 3 things, really. Being in the military, and I try to let people know this in advance, there will be times, sometimes unexpected, where I will be in the field and not have internet. Cant help it, and I do let people know in advance when I can, which is most of the time.
Secondly, it depends on the players, how much they interact, act, and post. More social characters, or those that like to play "outside the box" a bit might make a game run longer, while those that are more into combat or whatever, might make the game run shorter. Everyone likes different aspects of RPGs, so I try to cater to what the players are asking for both through their character sheet and through ooc dialogue.
Lastly, it also depends a great deal on the scenario or module. Each are designed for different play styles, and some are much more complicated than others.
All these things combined contribute to how long a game runs. Overall, I'd say that 2 weeks is the average, with the largest contributer to longer games being me deploying or training in the field without internet.
I'd also like to point out that speeding through is not always preferred. Sometimes people like to have slower paced games, for more detail and flavor, or just do not want to rush things.
