My group just finished episode 5 today. It ended, as it should, with a major cataclysm. Only 2 PCs managed to escape. We will not be running episode 6 because episode 5 wrapped things up so nicely.

That's a great idea, KeeperXav. I'll do the same.

I'm running A Time to Harvest for my local Adventurer's League group to try to create some converts. I have a small problem with the mini-campaign being labeled as "organized play" but that's my own prejudices coming through. We are all excited to play CoC and I'm confident we will continue to play it.

Hmmm, I must have worded that very poorly to make you think I was complaining. Sorry. What I was ultimately doing was asking for guidance from people who have had players drop and add as the game went on. As I am used to more modular stories that allowed that to happen and were, in fact, designed with that in mind. A Time to Harvest is set up as a mini-campaign that can only truly be enjoyed if the same group of players play the entire campaign. That's the part that doesn't really fit into the "organized play" concept.

I’ve just finished reading part one and I’ve got players signed up to play it next week. While it seems like a fun scenario, it’s a very bad example of organized play. I’m a regular DM for Adventurer’s League and will be running this scenario for my regular AL players. What makes organized play work is the modular nature of the scenarios. They are designed to be run in a 4 hour block and, most importantly, players and characters can easily drop into any given scenario. This doesn’t seem to be the case as A Time to Harvest is set up as more of a mini campaign. Players who can return week after week will be rewarded but drop in players, as you’d expect with an organized play game, will be lost. has anyone had any experience with new players dropping in and out of their games? How did you handle it?
