[QUOTE="Bedrockgames, post: 8832883, member: 85555"] Initially I thought you just meant a one off adventure, not a single evening of play. It has been a while since I have run the original module but the advice in the How to Run Ravenloft in One Night seems like it would work. It seems like a pretty good one-evening hack of it. And it isn't the longest module in the world, so if people are efficient you could at least do it in 2-3 sessions pretty easily I think (maybe 1 if you are lucky and play a good length of time). One session is a bit tough though, and I might plan for at least two if I can (its also one of those modules that you probably want to run them through fully just for the experience if you can). They aren't classic Ravenloft and many of the adventures in it are railroady, but for one shots, the Book of Crypts (which is 2E not 1E) is pretty solid. Each adventure can easily be done in a single session or two shorter sessions. If you do go down this route, I might also recommend checking out Night of the Walking Dead. I only ran it a few times, and it has been a while, but I feel like it might be manageable in a night (you would have to check and judge for yourself to be sure though). [/QUOTE]
