Lynne H Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Morning! There will be nine chapters (an introduction, plus eight location-specific ones), plus seven appendices (glossary, NPCs, handouts, pre-gens, etc.) It's a biggy!

Or 1930ish? Oh...and will it be purist, pulp or either? Edited September 6, 2019 by Spence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in final editorial before heading into layout. We should be releasing the campaign in a few months time. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsanford Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) I am having a hard time to get my group to commit to year long campaigns. How many sessions (say 4 or 5 hours) would you expect this campaign to take. I can probably talk them into a game a week for 3 or 4 months might be challenging beyond that.

I'd say about 60 (adventure)/40 (setting), with more adventure if you add in all the optional encounters. L. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many sessions (say 4 or 5 hours) would you expect this campaign to take. I can probably talk them into a game a week for 3 or 4 months might be challenging beyond that. One playtest group managed it in 8 sessions (one per chapter), but their Keeper is ruthlessly organised and very efficient. I would expect most groups to take 2 sessions per chapter on average (if not more if you follow up on all the optional encounters). Chapter 1 is a pretty short introduction, but that's balanced by longer later chapters. Depending on what the investigators do, you could - technically - finish it in 6 sessions, but I'd expect that to be the exception rather than the norm.
