The thread from a while back on the convention setup for quick demos was great... stripped down decks so you could get people through rapidly with fewer cards and three set locations. I know last year at Paizocon you were able to seat people, play the game, and then let everyone go in a 15-20 minute span.
With S&S coming I am hoping that you might disclose the demo set that you guys have come to prefer, I assume that you have worked to find basic cards that don't take a lot of explanation but still show off the base mechanics... I would like to save the time trying to reinvent that list.
I suppose it would be possible to just run the beginner scenario over and over, but in my estimation that will take a lot longer as there are more blessings, boons, banes, and locations to go through.
We are going to be running events at likely a half dozen stores in the area to start once OP opens up. My plan is to arrive an hour before the OP time slot and run 2 or 3 into games to get people familiar with the rules before we begin as it has been stated that the OP scenarios are not the best place to learn to play. This will also give them time to look at a few characters and determine which decks they want to buy.
Our PFS VL has his hands full working up a few big game events for us, I am hoping to take some of the logistics of also launching OP off his plate. He is planning an 8+ table (I think) event for the same day that we currently expect the Guild to launch!
Any help you can offer?
Awesome, thanks Vic!
Yup, it'll be out next week, if all goes according to plan.
