I'm the PFS store coordinator at Endgame in Oakland. I took over coordination/mustering few months ago but now I'm planning our schedule for the first time. We game for 4 hours 7-11PM. I'm trying to juggle lots of players who've played and judged lots of older scenarios along with new players. I'm thinking of introducing some of these older specials that have never been played at the store along with Thornkeep.

How many sessions do the following scenarios take? What are your thoughts on some of these specials for regular game days.

2-EX Year of the Shadow Lodge (1–11)
3-EX Blood Under Absalom (1-11)
4-26 The Waking Rune (7 - 11)
Thornkeep: The Accursed Halls (1-2)
Thornkeep: The Forgotten Laboratory (2-4)
Thornkeep: The Enigma Vaults (3-5)
Thornkeep: Sanctum of a Lost Age (6-8)
Thornkeep: Dark Menagerie (5-7)

I have played all of the Thornkeeps and have run 3 of them now (regular Tuesday night game session). I have had no problem getting them in on time. They are designed to be run in a normal 4 hour convention slot.

The Accursed Halls is a bit bigger and can take longer though if not managed well.

In my experience, Blood Under Absalom and The Waking Rune tend to run long. I'd allow 6 hours for these monsters.

Year of the Shadow Lodge can be finished in 4 hours fairly easily from what I've seen of it.

Point of order:

Year of the Shadow Lodge and Blood Under Absalom are Specials, not Exclusives.
