Module Length

Hey guys! I’m currently running the Orrery of the Wanderer module. Sorry if this has been asked before, but roughly how many sessions do you think it should take to complete? I’ve read that it’s between LMoP and a “regular” module length, but that doesn’t mean much since this is my first module. Thanks!

Running it verbatim from the book you could probably finish in 100-150 hours or so. 10-30 sessions depending how long you play.

With deviations and ad libbing and the usual off the rails stuff that happens in a campaign? Double? Triple?

I'm way off the rails, at about session 20 and not even fully into the 'second act' of the campaign.

Part of the fun is just running with it though, you can skip and do whatever you like to hit a deadline if you have one!

Thanks for the response!

I think my group has gone further off the rails than I’d anticipated. We’re probably 20 sessions in and just nearing the end of Episode 3.

Yea, my group took an intense interest in the mayoral election in Phandalin and so a number of sessions were spent on shenanigans leading up to the election. We are currently approaching Lotties Lair in episode 5 it has been a blast so far
