Depends; it usually mirrors "real" downtime unless a multiple part run is
occurring. Then downtime in SR increases to match the real amount of time
needing to be made up.

>How many runs per game year do your groups fit in?

Depends. I'm starting a new group that will only meet twice a month; at
that rate we'll probably hit about 15 runs per year.

>What is the average grade of initiacy that your magically actives attain?

Depends on how long they survive. It usually takes a couple of months to
hit that first grade. My own PC is currently Grade 10, but he's the first
PC I created back in January 1991. And I've been GMing in recent memory,
so not much has changed in a while. Most PCs are able to get to the 2-4
zone though.

>lower?

Again, depends. With my main PC, average would be 6 or above. Most PCs
seem to have their core skill around the 6 range, other skills in the 2-3
range.

But it really depends; Keith with his high-powered games probably has high
Initiate Grades and high Skill levels. My new group starting in a few
weeks will obviously be on the low side of things.

As usual, your mileage may vary.
