It still sounds awful. "Oh its one of dem uppity RPGs is it?"

Well, if the idea is to stretch first level out as many sessions as possible to promote skill play, then id just recommend playing something that isnt 5E that leans into skill play instead. This is what I had in mind. I definitely dont like the Ronco "set it and forget" skill system of 5E. I...

Once a month for 3 hours is maybe less frequent than the average game. A few folks in the thread mentioned playing multiple times every week! Thats a speed thats going to level faster regardless of XP and session time. My games typically call it quits around level 12-14 and that takes about...

Then swap out most those APs for Kingmaker which is a frontier building campaign. Much of the principles are the same. Problems come to the town for the PCs to face. The factions become neighboring towns and bands of monsters living int he wilds. Old crones living on their own, etc..

My old stand by and fantasy favorite 3E/PF1 is the answer. A plethora of character options, but also tons of sub-systems to make cities sing. 3E DMG II is esentially a two in one sandbox campaign tool kit and a city builder. Paizo's Ultimate Intrigue adds social mechanics to make the game open...

Im really enjoying the DC shows better than the movies. Though, I also liked that run of Marvel shows on Netflix (minus iron fist) better than the movies too.

I dont mind the early levels as I usually need a little time to bring my character to life. Though, reading some of these posts I could certainly change that opinion if I was spending 4-5 sessions at level1!

I like one shots a lot. Particularly with things like Free League has been tossing out. My version of the limited series is more like 12-24 sessions or double what you been doing. I dont like the episodic procedural for television or RPG. Even when I do sandboxes, I usually have a meta goal and...

Yeap, the downside is I might only want 1 of the 3 installments but I cant buy that. I need to drop a stack on a fat chunk, which I might not want to run much of.

Just played a few rounds of the original on DOSbox. lol bringing back some memories

Yeap, the procedural is probably more in line with what @Lanefan does. Long running campaigns where the main cast changes as needed. Episodic adventures with a thread that occasionally runs through them. I tend to prefer a more serial approach. Which is why APs have been so good for me. 1-2...

From James Jacobs back in 2010

Thats a tad different than what we usually do with level 1 and 2. Its usually light speed (1 session per level) to 3. Though, we do a lot of experimenting to find out the soul of the character to flesh them out from conception. So, count me in as liking your idea a lot.

Oh yeah thats more to do with short rest and long rest classes design than MC, IMO.
