I have been toying around with an idea since I read an article a while back about someone running games during a split shift break for himself and his coworkers/buddies. I'm trying to hash out something similar for my work friends and I.
What I am getting too is what pros and cons might you see ahead for this?
What scenarios might you suggest that could easily split in to "episodes"?
Specifics
gotta have those
Run time: 1 hour a day
# of players: 3 to 4 Max
Location: lunchroom/corner table or outside eating area
Thanks in advanced
Edited: I did think of using the scenario quest line like Honor's Echo
|
I would start with Honor's Echo or another quest line as they are designed to be 1 hour shorts. It will be a good test to see if this way of playing Pathfinder works for you and your colleagues.
I would think that playing a scenario over several days might disrupt the flow of things, but then PbP works so I don't see why this wouldn't. It can be difficult to predict how long any part of a scenario is going to take, so splitting any of them into episodes ahead of time will be challenging.
Also, while not immediately relevant I'm sure, some higher level combats can go on for over an hour.

I think that The Wounded Wisp and The Consortium Compact would both work pretty well in this format. Also, if you're down for silliness, I just ran We B4 Goblins over three sessions, and it worked great.
The evergreens I forgot about those and a little silliness is perfect for the type of work we do.
Thank you Kate. I will have to let you know how it goes at Paizocon.
