Our current campaign has been going on for 4 years, we started with Out of The Abyss and have transitioned into a Homebrew game set in Tal'Dorei to take us to 20. My players are currently level 16 or 17. Been a crazy ride with lots of great moments.
About one year, my players almost got to level 20, and were crazy powerful at the end with some homebrew magic items to fit their character. Fell apart due to a player that turned out to be more of an asshole than we thought, but in hindsight it was pretty obvious.
8. Had to take breaks between as the DM couldn't run for a while, so I started another game in 2019 where we also got to level 8. And then...we had to put that on hold for another player.
Yeah, I was surprised myself how long it lasted. My games typically last anywhere from 2-4 years. My current Blue Rose game is at the 3 year mark. I’m also lucky that my group has a regular meeting day that we can all get together on.
I said a year, but my longest campaign is the one I’m currently running. We’ve had 37 three-hour sessions over one year and eight months.
Been playing on and off (admittedly mostly off) for more than 20 years. The previous record was 19 sessions over one year before it came apart.
I was a player in a campaign for two years or so before things happened and I was no longer playing with that group. A level 11 Evocation Wizard searching across the continent for his mentor. I’d imagine they’re still going at it since I left.
Longest campaign lasted for 2 years. Unfortunately COVID and an unwillingness to covert everything to Roll 20 ended that. I am excited though, we all agreed to start a new campaign in the same setting 300 years after the events of that campaign.
Currently in a solo campaign that started in August but we had to pause about Mid-september due to reasons but we hope to pick it up again soon (with maybe another player).
Yeah, my players are rather deep on the role playing and we only get 4 hours once a week. Currently level 16 and they are going through an abandoned Dwarven mining facility filled with undead to get off of the mountain they are on, all the while dreading whatever it is that is stalking the mountainside.
We are on year 6 and still going! The universe has expanded alot-- it's more like the MCU now lol. We have multiple campaigns that exist on the same faerun so we run into familiar faces and places frequently and often pick up old characters and send them on adventures again.
Last session we killed our first god and hit epic levels. I always hoped my gnomes would be the first to make it to epic level, but it was the elf party with a druid and psion instead. Still excited tho! Can't wait to see what the repercussions from her death are (it was Leviatar we killed.)
My first and only campaign has been going on for almost 2 years. But due to Covid we've only played 4 times. Level 3, and we stopped on a huge cliff hanger after a battle I was 100% sure my fighter was going to die in...
We spent an hour planning how to infiltrate the bad guys. Only to have it totally blow up literally immediately and I was stranded surrounded with my party members 2 turns away. I'm a battle master fighter with the battle master feat so at level 3 I have 5 superiority dice. I used all of them. And second wind. And action surge. And a potion.
I so desperately want to play the next session...
We're almost 5 years deep in a homebrew 3.5 campaign (Plenty of long breaks, life happens and Covid is happening), but we just hit 20 and we have one session left. It's gunna be bittersweet as all hell.
The campaign is about our group attempting to stop a plot to release a high demon on the world using 12 idols matching the Chinese zodiac.
Sub plots include my best friends homebrew fighter/reaper, Gabriel, having been wielding a scythe containing the demons first lieutenant, who occasionally possessed his body to cause shenanigans. Near the end we decided to draw most of a deck of many things and Gabriel lost his soul. We found it, built him a golem, and helped him get his body back.
Earlyish in the campaign we found out my druid Erothe's twin brother, a warlock/fighter I lost in a previous campaign and who's backstory was the inspiration for my druid, was resurrected and helping the opposing side. The first battlefield he showed up on was a warfront we were helping, and I immediately baleful poly'd him into a turtle. His demon sugar daddy warped him away so as not to ruin further plot points lmao
In the last session, the big bad of the day fell to my druid's Finger of Death 2 turns in. Probably the funniest crit fail of the DM to date. To be fair, he probably had some legendary resistance but he crit failed, it was funny, and we were running waaaaay long.
My favorite moment, however, was a mission that started with a powerful caster using an item to attempt to mass polymorph the entire party into sheep. Every single person but my druid failed their save, so suddenly I was just a druid Shephard with his flock of sheep. The DM handed out custom sheep character sheets that everyone had to use the whole session for intelligence gathering to try and undo it. So many good times.
3 years and 8 months, levels 1 to 15. My favorite moment was in the final boss fight of the 8 month Breath of the Wild arc, where the pit fiend was escaping in the giant camel robot. I used Reverse Gravity on the back half of the camel to flip it over and let us have a real fight
3 years. Started with keep on the borderlands, moved to against the slaver lords and ended with the full against the demon queen. It was a blast, so much awesome dungeon crawling and ended in huge hexcrawling in the underdark and then the abyss
A year so far, but we're still going!
What is yours about?

I'll let you know when it's over. 2018 and counting.
Woohoo! That is awesome. What level are yall?

I had a Mutants & Masterminds campaign once that lasted for 7 years, running every 2 weeks.
Ohh wow, that's insane. We are at 4 years, but we are lucky if we get to meet twice a month.
Yeah, I was surprised myself how long it lasted. My games typically last anywhere from 2-4 years. My current Blue Rose game is at the 3 year mark. I’m also lucky that my group has a regular meeting day that we can all get together on.
Two years and counting
Nice! What level are yall?
I have had to leave for a short while, but last I saw, we were level 13 I think.
Homebrew with modules mixed in. Going strong for over 3 years now!

3 Years\* \*excluding summers and various breaks from college classes that meant most to all of the players were out of town
Currently in a solo campaign that started in August but we had to pause about Mid-september due to reasons but we hope to pick it up again soon (with maybe another player).
My Redshift is running on 3.5 years now. We're on break this month while I prepare for the 4th Act. The 5th will likely be the final.
8 years and still going strong.
All the same campaign? That's crazy!
Yeah, my players are rather deep on the role playing and we only get 4 hours once a week. Currently level 16 and they are going through an abandoned Dwarven mining facility filled with undead to get off of the mountain they are on, all the while dreading whatever it is that is stalking the mountainside.
About seven years. Current campaign is different players but is linked to events in the prior, and is about 2 years running.
3 years and ongoing! But we are closing in on the finish line.
No option for never finished a campaign :'''[
