Topic: Running DFD at Gencon
I'm a fair-to-middlin' GM, and I'd like to run a LoTFP game at Gencon this year. I'm almost 100% certain it'll be Death Frost Doom.
I want the party to have a fair chance of getting all the way through - if they choose to - and I'm concerned it may be too long to finish in one sitting. I'd like the community's advice on what - if anything - to do or change.
Pregens, obviously, and extras "camped out in the cabin" to cover player deaths. Probably hand-wave a lot of the beginning town (though I think it's important to have at least one human interaction to root the player's sense of duty (if not the characters)).
What else? 6 hours instead of 4? 4 or 8 players instead of 6? 6th level instead of 3rd? Delete some rooms? Run something else instead?
