Has anyone ran a "funnel" adventure? This is where each player runs a bunch of mooks through a meat grinder adventure, and then chooses which one to play going forward.
My plan is to have this be at the end of the war the previous PCs start. Their city-state sends who they can, mostly non-combatants who can wield basic weapons. They're given a mission of take and hold on the flank of the big battle, something thought to be simple, but of course, it's not.
I'll be using the 0-level character idea from here:

I'm trying to wrap my head around the mechanics of essentially 24 0-level characters against a range of threats. It seems both too easy and lethal at the same time. I suppose if I make it underground, it keeps too many from participating at one time.
