Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition Chapter Two: The Skinsaw Murders PFS Sanctioned Module - Time question

[Elzedar of Kyonin]

Hi

I am considering GMing Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition Chapter Two: The Skinsaw Murders PFS Sanctioned Module as a gaming day event.

We would start at 9am and end at 5pm (game store open hours).
I am wondering if this is a realistic expection timewise.
I will likely not have new players at the table.

Thoughts?

Thanks

Presumably just the sanctioned section, rather than the whole chapter?

[Elzedar of Kyonin]

yes, just the sanctioned content (the foxglove manor)

Any help in assessing if an 8 hours timeframe is realistic for that content would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think it is possible. It is approximately the length of a module, so it should be possible, though you should probably make sure that you keep the players moving along. There is not much roleplaying involved, in terms of taking up much time trying to find out information, so I think you should be fine with 8 hours, though plan for 7 hours if you include breaks.

I think that's reasonable. FWIW, in my home game, we were able to do

SM Stuff:

Habe's Sanatorium, the Hambley Farm, and all but the Caverns of the Foxglove Manor in an 11 hour session.

Of all the sanctioned sections of RotRL, I suspect that Foxglove Manor will be the quickest to get through considering it is extremely light on the combat (at least compared to the others).

Depending on how you handle the haunts, and how much time the players are willing to spend on the story aspect of this section (as opposed to just running from room to room), I think you'll be finished well before the store's closing time.
