10 years is an impressive time! I actually finished a campaign of my own a few years ago. I was 17 months of bi-weekly play at 4 sessions. So, about 136 total hours. They got to level 13. I designed that campaign to kind of wrap up around 12th level. In the end, they kept basically going everywhere except where they needed to, because they were avoiding the final confrontation. I had to give them a nuclear option to finally convince them they could finish it. There was room to continue on, but I wasn't sure it would be quite as gratifying.

Still, it was the first campaign I ever ran to completion. Like I said, I specifically designed it to end at 12, because that seemed a lot more achievable. I've never had a campaign go to 20. I'd love o do that, though.

I'm actually going to run that campaign again with a new set of players, and I'll more strongly entertain the idea of extending it past 12 if they want to. This new one starts on Sunday, and it'll be bi-weekly with 10 hour sessions. Yes, I have no life, and playing D&D is how I wish to fill my days.

Nice! Good luck with the new campaign!

Congrats. It reminds me on our main grand campaign that started also in early 2013 ( we have 3 stories with 3 sets of characters, played couple of one shots and shorter adventures that all tie in). Idea is for tier 4 - we all chose one character to go into final arc. But you guys play way more regular and that's awesome. Intertwining story arcs are really fun, specially if sometimes 2 parties work actively against each other.
