Proactive Pacing

I’ve been talking with some people about the pacing of their games—I tend to run long form games, so my preferred pacing tends to be pretty stead and then speed up into a dramatic climax once in awhile. The nice thing about proactive play is you can use your goals as a metric for pacing in longer games—how many short term goals are you usually accomplishing per session? One every few sessions? Multiple every session?

What’s your preferred pace, and is it what you’re currently at?
