They will each require at least one encounter to be cut from  them  -- at a minimum -- to be playable in 2 hours, but you might manage either in three hours. On the plus side,  they are free and FUN. If 3 hours is okay? Then I recommend either of  these modules as your best bet.PFS scenarios are a great choice. The scenarios in Season 0 and early in  Season 1 tend to be shorter than those presented on late Season 1 and  Seasons 2 and 3.  Most of them will take at least 3.5 hours to play, however.There are "delves" that are available to run in 60 minutes slots for PFS as well -- though I find those to be of indifferent quality for the most part. I would not recommend them.If you really only have 2 hours, you can look into a "Quest" published in Kobold Quarterly. Quests are specifically designed to be played in 90-120 minutes. The only one so far is the short adventure purblished in KQ #17 referred to above by Ironwolf.Lastly, looking back in the annals of Dungeon, you might also have a look at converting one of the "Side Treks" from the issues of that magazine which were featured in the late 2E era.If lack of regular and recurring attendance to be able keep up a coherent story from session to session is you main issue (together with scenario length), then PFS is ideally suited for your group. There are a number of home groups which run PFS for precisely this reason. I know of several players in such a home PFS campaign played for this reason and it works very well for them and their needs.If this is not a one shot but you would like to keep up with PFS as the context in which a series of one shots are run to provide an overall campaign narrative, Pathfinder Society is the ideal solution for your group's needs.</blockquote>
