I gave out my first Transformation card last session. After the party Warrior slew a group of Doppelgangers that were pretending to be his nemesis and allies, the God of Lies offered to make him also a Shapeshifter. I honestly expected him to refuse, but he now has the card and a requirement to "slay 10 souls while deceiving them" to get out of the debt to said God.

We had a player duck out due to a medical issue last night, but one guy who has a ~50m drive was already on his way. Thankfully this game scales just fine down to 2 players, and we had a great session of reaching the Big City and starting to make inquiries towards the cult-activity they'd uncovered traces of in the previous adventure.

I prepped the city using a combination of Blades style districts/NPCs, Carved from Brindlewood "moments," and the little "hook" notes Stonetop drops over locations to think about what might happen. Worked great, everything they asked or tried I had a quick answer for.

I am just back from the con, having run four 4-hour DH slots with 5 or 6 players per slot. I am exhausted so I will have to go into detail tomorrow, but if anyone has questions, feel free to ask before I do my write up.

The Long Story Short: the PCs were superheroes (secret IDs and all) in a magitech mega city inspired by Arcane ad Eberron. They were 5th level and I reskinned and modified Tier 3 enemies as super villains. All four sessions were episodes in the same larger story, and I had 3 players play all 4 sessions, one player play 2, and the rest were one offs.
