Have fun with it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />My 2 cents: I have played/run quite a few one offs. But I've only played in a small number of con games, so may not have a good grip on this. But that's never stopped me commenting before. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  IMO the simpler the better - Far easier to get a feel for a lower level character than a higher level one. Also a simpler plot has more room for customising on the fly and is less likely to confuse the players! Generally found them to work best.I liked getting a paragraph or two of simple intro for a character. Just a bit of where I come from, how I know the other party members and a vague 'what I do'. Basically short, to the point and with some big RP hooks that can be grabbed if the player wants/needs to!FWIW, don't think the system matters, as long as it's either easy or familiar -I'd go with 3.5...Edit: 'Plug-ins'! I like to have a few 'plot loops' that can slow things up a bit if the game is running too fast, or can be left out entirely if the players are dithering. Pretty much fleshed out random encounters. Tend to do a few roleplaying and a few combat so I can choose depending on how things are going. Don't want a 4 hour game to finish in 2 just because the players actually pay attention and do things properly!</blockquote>
