I haven't actually done 8, but I have played for 6 hours before. Our games move really slowly, definitely more role-playing than roll-playing, so it's a lot of narrative and story-telling. Doesn't help that the DM is very into D&D enough to run multiple campaigns.

Yeah it'd definitely be a marathon though. But my point was that even if it is too many hours (e.g. for practical reasons), I think it would be unfair to be too many hours in the sense of "you need other hobbies."
