Moreno: These days I'm in 3 or 4 overlapping groups, in sum 10 people (it used to be 12, but Shreyas and Elizabeth moved West). Each of the groups wishes it could meet weekly, but really meets twice a month or so. We typically play for 2-3 hours at a time. Most weeks, I roleplay two nights, for a total of 4-6 hours.
Playtests have to fit themselves in as best they can. Right now I'm involved in playtesting only one game - Eppy's Swords Without Master - but other people I play with sometimes meet to playtest other games, and I just haven't happened to be in on them.
Eppy also does this fun coffee & game design thing, more or less monthly, where we get together and talk game design for a bunch of hours on a weekend day. This is a bigger group, including maybe half a dozen more people who I don't happen to play games with.
