What is the world record for the longest D&D marathon?

$begingroup$


I have been looking for awhile to find the world record for the longest Dungeons and Dragons marathon because me and my friends had a plan to try and attempt to beat it and give the money from the stream (if we get any) to my school's Gaming and Anime Club. So if you have the answer to this question please leave an answer.

The record seems to be 209 hours.



According to this Reddit post, Reddit user JustOneAmongMany asked Guinness about an alleged 1985/6 record. Guinness responded on September 4, 2018 with this message:




Thank you for contacting Guinness World Records.



A search of our database shows two Dungeons & Dragons endurance
records from that general time period:



From June 30th through June [sic] 3rd, 1986, a team of eight players (six
finished) played for 66 hours in Ilford, Essex.



A team in Ogden, Utah then got the record for a 1983 game that lasted
209 hours.




If you want more information, you should contact Guinness here.

    $begingroup$

    This thread suggests that the record was/is 100 hours




    in Dragon issue # 80, pg 54 it states that four members of the Broward Game Players Club in Hollywood FL played D&D for 100 hours straight.




    However that was back in 1983, so it might have been broken since then.

            How to label and detect the document text images

            Image
            1 $begingroup$ This is what I mean as document text image: I want to label the texts in image as separate blocks and my model should detect these labels as classes. NOTE: This is how the end result should be like: The labels like Block 1, Block 2, Block 3,.. should be Logo, Title, Date,.. Others, etc. Work done: First approach : I tried to implement this method via Object Detection, it didn't work. It didn't even detect any text. Second approach : Then I tried it using PixelLink. As this model is build for scene text detection, it detected each and every text in the image. But this method can detect multiple lines of text if the threshold values are increased. But I have no idea how do I add labels to the text blocks. PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones = 'PIXEL_CLS_WEIGHT_all_ones' PIXEL_C...
