Attendee Preference: GM run multiple slots of 1 game vs bunch of different games?


Third-Party and Fan Events


Hello, everyone! You might know me from the con as "weirdo green hair Canadian running Planescape games" :) If you all don't mind, I'd like to do a quick temperature check about the way I've been having my games organised and scheduled.

I've noticed that a lot of other GMs run multiple instances of one adventure, and I haven't been doing this, I've been bringing a bunch of different adventures and doing 1 game of each.

What do you guys like better, though? Do you prefer to have multiple chances to get a single game to work with your schedule, or a bunch of different adventures from one GM (in this case, me!) to choose from?

I plan to bring multiple adventures in 2018 either way, so the difference here is basically, "should I bring 3 or 4 different adventures to PaizoCon 2018, or should I bring 2 adventures and run each one twice?"

Thanks for your help!


Hey Anetra! I was able to play in one of your Planescape games last year and was that guy in the Banquet line that was thanking you for introducing me to the awesome and weirdness that is Planescape setting. Really love your DMing and these type of adventures that you've been running at PaizoCon. I hope to get a spot in one of your Planescape games next year.

As a selfish player, I would love to have more chances at different Planescape adventures that I can sign up for each year. I've only played in your "Celestian’s Compass" game so far but hope to hit up a different one at a future PaizoCon. So, if it's not extra trouble for you then 3 or 4 different adventures would be amazing but I don't think people would complain if you just ran two adventures multiple times.

Thanks again for Gming these awesome adventures and giving people glimpses into the setting of Planescape.

I played in two of your games this year. As I said at the table, you're a fantastic GM. Given that I was lucky enough to get into two of your Planescape games, my boss would be for you to run multiple games rather than just one.

Hi! I was with rob in your metal gol game. It was fantastic! I hope that when I come back to paizocon, I can play a different one.


Thanks, guys! <3

My 2018 plan at the moment is to run my Ouroboros Killer adventure again (I ran it last year), run something new that takes place in Torch (play a gang! have a gang war!), and then if people prefer multiple adventure choices in 1 slot each (which you seem to!) bring Celestial Intrigue back from this year and maaaaaaybe write another new one (though I don't have any plans for what that would be yet).

3 adventures over the weekend ended up being well within my manageable DMing load, which means I should probably go ahead and do 4 next year :P
