Prep index cards or something to indicate the various positions in the chase (Behind, Ahead, Alongside, and Stopped) and have a cheat sheet of the various additional actions players can take during the chase for them to reference. If you don't, they're likely to be unaware of their options, and that'll make the chase less engaging.Familiarize yourself with the special chase actions and have the Red Plumes take advantage of them. It'll show the players that this is a different sort of encounter.We had a lot of movement between positions during the chase. At one point Ahead was empty, Alongside had a few occupants, Behind had the same, and one or two people were technically behind Behind, so I shifts the cards by position each -- Alongside became Ahead, etc. This may be obvious in hindsight, or even in foresight, but I think it's good to remember that the positions are mutable and relative. Stopped is still kinda weird, because no matter where you stop, you'll be in the same Stopped position, but don't worry about the details too much and it'll be fine. Or it was for me, anyway.Our game had a number of cool events during the chase, IMO. The sorcerer witch bolted one of the wagon's wheels and managed to maintain it until the wagon was taken out, causing it to flip forward dramatically when it lost the wheel and throw the Red Plume driver. The fighter was a terror, leaping from horse to wagon to wagon successful throwing (shoving) drivers from their seats. She also tossed the guild mage, who survived the fall. When the paladin fell off his horse, the mage (some distance behind him) fire bolted him to unconsciousness, then took his horse and got back into the chase and had a a galloping firefight (literally) with the sorcerer.[/sblock]</blockquote>
