[QUOTE="Guillaume, post: 1443848, member: 8052"] Hi Buttercup, I've never done it myself, so take it for what its worth. I'm just throwing ideas around. Things you might want to think about : limit the number of encounters. If you want a one shot and people will have to go through the whole story arc in one session, you can't have a multitude of encounters. Depending on your style, you might want to limit the scope of things. I know that personally, I have a tendancy to get bogged down in the introduction part of the story. The end result is that often the rest of the story feels rushed. IOW, I start the game too slow. From the adventures presented by the RPGA that I have read, most use a very short introduction. Get the characters into action ASAP, seems to be their moto. I might be wrong, I didn't read that many. The more complicated your encounters, the less, numberwise, you will be able to play. IOW, you might be able to squeeze ten small and simple encounter in a time period, but only one large and complicated one. The way I see it, running an adventure in a Con setting requires everything to be tighter. You can't plan on getting everyone back for another round to finish the story. Therefore, I feel that thing should be kept relatively short and simple. Just a thought. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
