How frequently do you play and how long are your sessions? Do you use XP or milestone leveling? Just curious.

Right now I am playing 5 regular games (4 as a player, 1 as a DM)

3 of them are 4 hour sessions once a week (including the one I DM). One of them is a 3 hour session once every two weeks.

The one that is 3 hours would take longer than 6 months for a 1-20, but it would not take years.

Usually we are playing milestone now, although we did play XP in the past.

My campaigns have 8 hours of playtime in a month. I don't see getting through 20 levels of 5e play in 6 months with only 8 hours a month. Maybe if it were every week. 4-hours a week is pretty common, but my impression is that is usually enough to complete one of the WotC adventure books in 6 months, ending at level 10 to 15.

The game I just played tonight as an example, started on March 20th and we hit 13th level tonight. We also had a TPK in there at level 3 (and restarted at level 3 with new PCs the same session).

If this is a 5e game, you lot are cracking fast at rolling up new characters! In a BX or 1e game I could see this, but a WotC edition? That's impressive.

Forgive me, but that seems.....oddly specific. Is Celestial Warlock the only 5e option you'll play?
Click to expand...
Warlock, overall, is one of the few classes that truly interest me. Celestial Warlock in particular is interesting, because (a) it's supremely flexible, (b) it's an unusual thematic combination that inspires me, and (c) it's PHB now so I don't have to worry about whether a given DM's books will contain it or not.

There are other things I would consider playing, but I'd need to have high confidence that the DM in question was of similar mind to me on a handful of important subjects. Celestial Warlock is more independent of such concerns than most classes and subclasses.

If I were being thorough, I'd have probably said something like "no Celestial Warlock, Stars Druid, Redemption Paladin, Eloquence Bard" etc., etc. Dragon Sorcerer and Lore Bard are probably the only two "basic" subclasses I've got enough interest in to actually want to play.
