Game Duration

A Home Defiant game can be played at various lengths depending on the need of the players. However, there are specific format that is common amongst TTRPG players. These can range from one short 2 to 8 hour sessions to years or even decades in some cases. Talk to your Fates to agree upon a proper campaign duration.

• One Shot. This is usually a short 2 to 4 hour game with a self contained story. One-shots require less commitment and is a useful length to test out different builds or to try out the game for the first time. You do not need to make a complicated character for campaign like these.
• Campaign. This is usually a longer game that usually takes place over multiple (not necessarily subsequent) days. Usually The Fates will have an estimation on how long the campaign will run. This is a good place for you to try out writing a story for your own character that the Fates can use in their story. Usually campaign like these will have a more specific character requirement as well. However, in these game, you might not be able to experience the full breadth of the system
• Epic. This is usually a very long game that can span years because of the that, players are expected to be very commited to the game. Players might meet up weekly and slowly grow their character over the course of the epic. Some times, Defiants might even change characters in the middle of the story as they die or lose a reason to travel. While rare, these epic will allow you to experience the full breadth of the system and allow a more free form character creation process.
