I am preparing to run Carrion Hill for a Halloween party. I need to be able to complete it in about 8 hours. Is this possible or will it need to be shortened? If so, what are the best ways to shorten it?
A couple of years ago I ran Feast of Ravenmoor for the same people and a Halloween gaming party was so much fun and I really want to do it again. Feast plays really quick and every time I've run it's come in somewhere around 7 hours. I really hope Hill can be made to match. We don't use minis so our play is considerably faster because of that, but I'd like to hear your thoughts and suggestions.
Our GM added Carrion Hill into the middle of our Carrion Crown campaign, and it took us 3-4 sessions to get through. I think the best way to shorten it would be to reduce the number of targets the party has to track down, and perhaps reduce the number of rooms at specific locations. The asylum, as I recall, was pretty big, and was almost two whole sessions for our party. If you made it smaller, perhaps one floor instead of two, the party could get through it faster.
