Polaris Play

posted by [personal profile] benlehman at 03:41pm on 30/04/2009
The shortest full-group game of Polaris I've played is three sessions. The longest is five sessions.

I know some people have played longer games. If you've played, please post (or contact me) and tell me how long it took you to play to the end.

Thanks!

Do games of Thou Art But A Warrior count? The special Discord track seems to definitely speed things up. In our one-shot at Gamestorm08, we got to 15/20 Discord in about 3.5 hours. Of course, we were pushing to see how far we could get in a short time, so the results may vary from "natural" play.

TABAW does not count. Different ending conditions.

Eight sessions, but we did play slightly wrong. (We accidentally exhausted individual items under themes rather than the themes themselves, giving us more exhausts.)

When I played with [livejournal.com profile] relevance plus two (awesome) guys you don't know, it took us three sessions, IIRC.

Thanks! I'm thinking it looks like 3-8 sessions is the normal range.

FWIW, I personally can't imagine playing that long. I love the game, you know that, but I just think it would get dull after 5 at the most. Or, to put it another way, I feel like I would be bored playing with a group that wasn't acquiring enough experience to all die/become demons by around the middle or end of session 3.

Looks like five sessions, based on my AP reports.

When you people say "3 sessions", or "5 sessions", or "8 sessions"... How long is a "session", approximately?
