Gameplay time ...?

[Lanathar]

I know gaming groups play at varying paces but I was interested as to how long the play throughs of this AP? I am thinking in terms of an approximate amount of hours per book

Obviously the sandbox nature can make this greatly vary

I'd imagine it's very different for every group. Also if my group met every week or twice a month we'd move through at a faster clip because there would be less to recap and refresh for the players per session. I just went through all of my old e-mails and this is what I found:

1st Book ~40 hours
2nd Book ~40 hours
3rd Book ~32 hours
4th Book ~64 hours
5th Book ~32 hours

We meet once a month for 8-10 hours, and started in January 2016. We will be finishing book 5 and starting book 6 next session in mid-April 2018. I plan to complete the campaign by this summer and we'll start Strange Aeons.

We play every week for 2.5 - 3 hours and it takes about 10 weeks to complete a book give or take. On book five now, expect to be done before the end of the year.
