HYPERBOREA » How many hours do you game a week?

I get around 3 to 4 hours a week to game. Sometimes less, due to working in retail,life, and other things. On the rare occassion I get more. Recently I have been getting a bit less but I try to get gaming in somehow. So how many hours do you get?

3 hours at the table and about an hour total on this play by post.

Yeah. That seems to be the norm.

For a while, it was 8, no down to 3-4 sometimes none...

Though I'm about to start my own campaign on Roll20 so the past 2 weeks have been about 30 hours each building out assets in Roll20 so I can get things running there (Also Figuring out the ins and outs of Roll20, Dynamic lighting, etc).

Yeah. Our old group used to do 7+ hour marathons.
Now , well life is busy.

3-6

That is a good amount

3 to 4 on average. sometimes it scales to 6-8 in a week and at maximum i would say 9-12.

Chartauk · 2/04/2022 4:02 pm

WOW that is massive! My old group used to meet once a month for 9-10 hours. Now it's much less.

This week = 10-11 hours, broken down as:

- weekly 1e Greyhawk game (player) = 3 hours online
- bi-weekly 1e Greyhawk game (DM) = 4 hours online
- monthly Delta Green CoC game (player) = 3-4 hours online

My in-person 1:1 1e Greyhawk game that I DM with my son in person will probably not play this week, but we’ll see.

AS&SH x2 per month for 6 hours
Fantasy Age x4 per month 14 hours
So weekly I would get about 4-5 hours per week.

I need more gaming per week lol

Greyraven · 8/31/2022 3:38 pm

Wow...about four or five around a table, but that is including a hour or so preparing, I am starting to play less and less in a online RPG...so that time may increase by another hour this fall.

demetrisathanasopoulos · 9/02/2022 12:42 pm

up to 6 hours per week with two groups.

I treat TTRPGs as a hobby that I work on a few hours nearly every day. I very rarely get to play as a player but I run a bunch of games (between 6 and 23 hours a week, with 10 being the average.)

I finally crossed 1,000 hours of gaming on roll20. Most of that as a DM over those 7.5ish years.

Damn...over those 397 weeks that's an average of 2.5 hours of gaming each week.

During this time I also had an in person game that met once a week or so for about 2 hours or so.

I would say I need a hobby but I think this is it :-)

Holy smokes, Giz!

gizmomathboy · 9/29/2022 7:33 am

I was kinda surprised at this, too.
