I’ve been reading PbtA games a lot and trying to find things about how they handle game duration – specifically campaign duration. Most games I own don’t seem to talk much about how many sessions or where exactly a campaign should end. Monsterhearts does this by stabilishing Seasons, but then again I feel like it’s not really thoroughly explained.
I thought I’d seen something about duration in Apocalypse World, but a brief search into the first and second ed (draft) showed nothing. I do remember Adam Koebel saying something like the game lasting about 8 or 12 sessions (and that worked really well for me!), but also that it was probably not explained in the very books.
So, I kinda want to hear what you guys think about campaign duration and how long any given PtbA game lasts in your experience, and/or if I missed any explanations on this that actually are in the books.
